Advantages: Smells amazing, nice bottle

Disadvantages: scent fades fairly quickly

I don't normally go in for celebrity perfumes but I tried a tester of the first Kate Moss perfume - simply called 'Kate' when I was in Boots and thought it smelled quite nice. Boots were actually selling a gift set including this a 30ml bottle of the EDT spray and a large tube of body lotion for around just £11, but I didn't buy it as I knew I would be getting perfume from both my mam and my sister for Christmas.

When I got home though, I kept thinking about it and ended up ordering the set online as an early Christmas present to myself anyway! Really at that price, it would have been rude not to!

I say this in most perfume reviews I write, but I do think the bottle is a very important part of the perfume. I love classy, elegant perfume bottles, and I actually think that for a realtively cheap, celebrity perfume, this bottle is really nice. If any of you have seen the bottle Kerry Katona's fragrance comes in, you will know just how wrong it can go - although let's face it, what would you expect from Kerry Katona?

Anyway, this bottle is clear glass with a quite art deco style black lid. The actual 'Kate Moss' name is very subtle, and not too in your face either. The perfume itself is a pale pink colour which makes the bottle look very pretty, and although it's simple, I actually think it's a lovely bottle.

The fragrance of this perfume is lovely. I don't really know what I would have expected from Kate Moss - perhaps something a bit heavy and 'Rock Chick' but this is a very delicate, floral and feminine fragrance.

The perfume contains lily of the valley, heliotrope, magnolia, peony and rose, which as you can imagine makes it very floral. I don't mind floral, but I do think when you mix too many flowery scents it can be a bit too much, as I mentioned in my Agent Provocateur perfume, which was so flowery it was almost sickly!

This in contrast has a beautifully soft scent - and one of the main fragrances that stands out for me is the rose. I know rose can sometimes smell a little bit old-fashioned, but combined with the other ingredients that's not the case, it's just a gentle, floral scent that actually smells subtly expensive if you know what I mean!

The scent is also slightly warm and I would say that it's more suited to daytime wear than night time, as personally I'd prefer something a little heavier for evening wear.

As for staying power, I've found that this fragrance starts to fade slightly after around three to four hours, so you will need to top it up a couple of times throughout the day.

As I mentioned I got this together with a tube of body lotion for just £11 from Boots, however if you buy this on it's own Boots sell it for £20.55 which is a bit strange! That's for the 30ml, however it also comes in 50ml and 100ml sizes.

Overall, I was very impressed by this. If I hadn't tried it in the shop I don't think I would have been convinced it was very nice, but I think this is a perfect day time fragrance- very light, feminine and floral without being too heady or overpowering. Well done Kate!
