Kate Spade New York New York is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Marie Salamagne. New York opens with Wild Strawberry, Citrus, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan and Cashmeran. Kate Spade New York's New York carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a cheeky burst of fresh strawberries and citrus, managing to be both easy-going and a bit divisive. Some find it juvenile and synthetic, others swear it's a sparkling, sophisticated summer staple. It's a crowd-pleaser for many, but don't expect groundbreaking complexity.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its fresh and light profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and even sport. While some find it too strong for the office, its generally inoffensive nature allows for moderate office use. The youthful and playful scent, however, isn't particularly suited for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty, tart wild strawberry and bright citrus burst, invigorating and sweet without being cloying. This fruity cocktail then softens into a delicate heart of rose and freesia, adding a gentle floral touch. The dry down introduces a clean, subtly warm base of cashmeran and ambroxan, providing a modern, fresh finish that can sometimes lean sharp or 'fizzy'.
