When Kate Spade New York launched a collection of six handbags in 1993, the brand’s vision was clear: It stood for colour, wit, optimism, and femininity. Today, this lifestyle brand is synonymous with joy, and its unique style of handbags, jewellery, home décor, and gifts continues to delight women across the globe.
Kate Spade New York’s trio of feminine fragrances is an ode to the fashion house we all know and love. Each scent embodies a different facet of the brand but is tied together by one common factor: Pure joy. The fragrances’ warm, inviting and uplifting nature allows you to spread a little joy with every spritz.
Which Kate Spade New York fragrance is your perfect match?
Kate Spade New York Eau de Parfum
The brand’s debut fragrance, Kate Spade New York Eau de Parfum, is inspired by the house’s signature codes and lifestyle. Joyful and feminine, the fragrance celebrates women and their individuality. This modern, fruity-floral fragrance portrays the vibrant and clever essence of Kate Spade New York that women around the globe know and love.
What can you expect from the scent? Perfumer Marie Salamagne pays tribute to the colourful and carefree nature of the wild strawberry, capturing the essence of this lush and juicy fruit. Alongside strawberry, you can expect notes of rose essence, bergamot, freesia, ambroxan and cashmeran.
Clean and modern with soft, curvy lines, the Kate Spade New York bottle captures the brand’s signature pink tone and spade icon, a classic design that continues to be reimagined.

Kate Spade New York Sparkle Eau de Parfum
Inspired by magical New York City nights, Sparkle is a sensual and empowering fragrance that celebrates a new facet of the Kate Spade New York Woman: Captivating, confident and bringing a little sparkle wherever she goes. For perfumer Louise Turner, the ambition was to capture the spirit of a quintessential New York City evening as the sun sets and the city’s lights begin to sparkle.
What can you expect from the scent? Sparkle is an irresistible floral-gourmand scent. It features delectable gourmand notes of blackcurrant, Italian lemon, and vanilla crème brûlée, a gorgeous floral bouquet of purple peonies and hawthorns, and a seductive trail of cedarwood and oakwood extracts.
This fragrance bottle is the epitome of feminine elegance and effortless chic. Like the original fragrance, Sparkle revisits the brand’s iconic codes, but this time, the bottle is dressed up and ready for a night out. Adorned with a night blue gradient radiating from bottom to top (reminiscent of dusk in the city), it features a gold cap with a dark blue enamel ring set with three gold signature spades, like shimmering lights across New York City’s skyline.

Kate Spade New York Bloom Eau de Toilette
Floral fragrance enthusiasts, this one’s for you. The newest addition to the Kate Spade New York fragrance portfolio, Bloom, offers fresh notes paired with a multi-coloured palette of pastels that reflects the brand’s joy and optimism. This green and musky floral is as captivating as a bouquet of fresh flowers.
What can you expect from the scent? Perfumer Sophie Labbé captures the bright light of camellia blossoms against a soft woody trail. Bloom opens with lemon primofiore, granny smith apple and sweet orange. Its floral heart comprises white camellia petals, orange blossom and ylang ylang, while the enveloping dry-down reveals tones of cedarwood, sandalwood and cashmeran.
Kate Spade New York’s signature pink is toned down for this bottle and packaging. The pale pink enamel ring at the base of the cap is embellished with the iconic spade in warm rose gold, and the pastel floral pattern on the outer packaging evokes the colours of a bouquet in full bloom.
