Vintage is a new fragrance by Kate Moss created in cooperation with the house of Coty. The perfume arrived on the market in autumn 2009. Its name was inspired by Kate's love for vintage clothes - she believes that such items hide history in themselves. The fragrance has fruity-floral character. It opens with pink pepper, freesia and mandarin, a heart introduces jasmine, heliotrope and almond blossom, while a base finishes with musk, vanilla and tonka. Vintage can be found as 15 and 30ml edt, accompanied with a body care collection.

It's unfortunate that many of Kate Moss' fragrances are often overlooked. Amidst the celebrity perfume releases, Kate's fragrances aren't half bad.

My favourite from her is still Velvet Hour, however Vintage stands out in its own unique way. The scent itself is quite fresh and pleasant, with only a slight touch of floral notes.

I would have preferred the pink pepper note to be slightly more prominent in the opening, as it is a little too subtle in my opinion. The mandarin orange note is also quite subtle, so the freesia really comes forth.

The freesia note actually reminds me of a freesia scented soap that my Mother uses, so in a way, Vintage has a somewhat clean, 'straight out of the shower' quality.

The heart can only be described as pretty. The jasmine, heliotrope and almond blossom are mild and slightly powdery. Due to the sillage not being very strong, Vintage is quite intimate.

There's far too much musk in the drydown, which I found overshadowed the vanilla and tonka bean notes. It smelt like musty sheets that had been stored in a dark closet for too long. However on my friend, the drydown is surprisingly the best part, as it smells deliciously nutty and vanillary.

While Vintage has played it safe here with a very basic composition, I'll add that this fragrance is difficult to dislike. I actually didn't have a problem with the lasting strength, as I thought it lasted quite well on both myself and my friend.

Picked this one up on a whim: just sniffed the unbelievably pretty bottle. Other Kate Moss fragrances haven't really agreed with me, but Vintage and I have become very good friends over the past few weeks.
The opening is light and airy: fresh flowers, pink pepper and something almost a little metallic behind it all; perhaps the freesia-citrus combination.
After it's settled for a while, it develops into a very pleasant and cosy scent: soft, warm and slightly sugary. And here's why I think it lives up to it's name: in many modern fragrances, the different components stand out a lot, sometimes almost fighting for attention. But in Vintage - as well as in many of the old classics - the different notes blend together nicely, none of them breaking off or taking over on its own.
The final drydown has a little sweetness, a lot of pepper, and that vague metallic scent - which makes me think this would also work on some men - is still hanging in there.
A subtle, likable scent; maybe nothing for a wild night out, but great for everyday wear. It seems to last a lot longer on me than on other people, but of you want the initial kick to last, reapply during the day.

This is a simpler and cheaper version of Guerlain L'Instant Magic... although not so much cheaper, as I've heard, so... dunno.

This perfume is so horrible and so disgusting, I would not even use it as toilet spray!

I think this is just lovely!
To me it smells exactly how I want my perfume to smell. It is elegant and ladylike but in a very innocent and restrained way.
The vanilla makes it soft, cosy and warm, while light flowers and citrus add a fresh and lively touch.
To me it embodies a romantic kind of feminity without being too girly. The staying power is great (at least on my skin) and it fits either day and night.
Altough my taste normally is more "expensive" I just love it and it will accompany my winter.

This is a light little perfume, I smell mostly vanilla. I got it for 10 euros on ebay so I can't complain, but to pay more for this perfume would leave me disapointed.

Thank you very much for the recommendation Cactus Flower. I managed to source out Guerlain L'Instant Magic!
Although the two scents are near identical, the drydown on Guerlain L'Instant Magic is different - more powdery, whilst Vintage retains the vanilla? scent - and I think this is what I like in the Kate Moss perfume.
I will definantly continue to wear the L'Instant Magic and hope that I can find the one....

Smells really good ! The Almond blossom is dominant. Reminds me of Cinema YSL, but Vintage is not so heavy.

I bought the perfume this weekend two hours after i've tried it on(to see how it developed on my skin)and i have to admit it smells gourgeously!!!!It is quite floral as you spray it on but then it settles down to a really vintage type of smell.It strongly reminds me of an actual vintage edp, my greatnanna used to have and i've just 'inherited' the empty bottle (which still smells faintly)for my boudoir:a classical 1920's smell: 'ARPEGE' DE LANVIN.Another gorgeous perfume but unfortunately discontinued now.But luckily we have KATE'S 'VINTAGE' to spray it on now-not all vintage or old fashioned scents have rose or violet/lavender top or middle notes,so very enthusiastic about this one. from an 'ARPEGE'DE LANVIN NOSTALGIC

Have to be honest on me it does have a vintage feel to it, the pink pepper stays on me through out and it is rather a subtle scent, maybe for everyday wear. It is very chic , and I like the bottle. May have to pick this one up one time. Maybe layering with the body lotion helps the staying power!

I sooo wanted to have this one. I think the bottle is beautiful and I was in the need of discovering a new, pleasant, warm scent for autumn. "Vintage" looked promising. Unfortunately the opening lasts very short and then it quickly dries down to an overpowering vanilla smell. On my skin the sweet notes develop to an absurd extent and therefore I can only wear really subtle fragrances. Perhaps on someone else it wouldn't get so sickly. The smell is lovely, too bad it gives me a headache :/

Finally I bougt a bottle of this perfume. I must say it's still very pretty and sensual, a soft, feminie mandarin note starts the harmony and a subtle, warm musk and vanilla finish it. The only drawback is that it dries down very quickly, altough the drydown is nice. Also, it may be necessery to reapply it one or two times a day. It's a pity, while in my country it belongs to the higher cost celeb scents.
About the bottle: it's colour is definetely better than a pink punch, and it's good to tkae it in hand. It's simple but nice on my shelf. Finally, the name Vintage is the real problem, you expect really something different from the juice you get.

Total similar perfume is: Guerlain L'Instant Magic, but much more expensive...

Although, this is a very nice scent, it does have its drawbacks. The staying power is next to nothing, which is bad even for an EDT.
However, I really do like this scent and wonder whether anybody can recommend a similar smelling perfume with longer staying power?

The more I smell this on the tester paper the more I like this scent. I should try it on my pulse points anyway but on the paper it blooms very beautifully, it's fresh at first, a floral with some fruity and peppery notes, then it becomes creamy, subtle and classic due to its calssic base notes. I think it worth a try!

I liked Velvet Hour a lot but as I tried Vintage I think I prefer the later. Ok, they are totally different perfumes, in different style. Maybe Vintage is nothing special but very nice for a celeb scent! Excellent for everyday use, feminie, soft, a bit picant with the red pepper that isn't as unique today as it used to be but still.... it adds something to a simple type of scent, too. However, I agree that the name Vintage doesn't match with the juice.

There’s not really much to say about Kate Moss’ latest fragrance VINTAGE.

After breaking out of the predictable fruity/floral mix with her last scent Velvet Hour, she and Coty have done a U turn back to the Kate blueprint.

All I get is a mild mix of unidentifiable floral notes and nothing else. The staying power is non-existent. Within 20 minutes of application I couldn’t smell a thing.


The bottle is very pretty; it’s what made me notice VINTAGE in the store. The name doesn’t match the juice at all – I would have gone for lavender, rose and/or violet for a vintage type fragrance.
