An enduring beauty with a distinct sense of style, Kate Moss is the ultimate muse.
Over the years, she has inspired a multitude of artists, ensuring that her inimitable looks and spirit will live on in art forever. Now, Kate’s very essence is the inspiration behind her new fragrance: Vintage Muse by Kate Moss, a creamy floral musk with a timeless appeal.
As a globally acclaimed model, a successful fashion designer and a celebrated style leader, Kate has captivated artists, sculptors and photographers everywhere. Eminent talents such as Lucien Freud, Tracey Emin, Banksy, Stella Vine and Marc Quinn have been moved to create their own extraordinary visions of Kate. Each appeared to have been fascinated and enthralled by her beguiling looks, her innate sensuality and her iconic status. Kate has inspired, she has created, she transcends all that defines art… she is timeless.
Available from April 2011, Vintage Muse is a unique expression of Kate, the woman, and her role as a muse. This modern floral musk has a clean and hidden dimension that reflects Kate’s multi-faceted charm. Sophisticated and memorable, Vintage Muse evokes Kate’s breath-taking beauty and feminine allure.
Kate Moss comments, ‘’I feel honoured and privileged to have worked with many great artists and to have been the subject of such remarkable works of art. Being part of these creative processes inspired me to develop Vintage Muse, a gorgeously chic, refined fragrance that lifts and inspires. Just as a painting or photograph endures as a thing of beauty, Vintage Muse has a wonderful timeless quality that makes it a contemporary classic.”
Vintage Muse, an alluring and elegant fragrance opens with a sparkle of plum and rhubarb embraced with a rich addiction of blackcurrant. At its heart, radiant blooms of peony, purple violet and tiger orchid unveil a refined sensuality that is exquisitely feminine. Finally, the floral tones give way to a velvety dry down of white musk, ambergris and a touch of chocolate, enhancing the fragrance’s sophisticated nature.
Echoing the original Vintage by Kate Moss bottle, Vintage Muse is presented in an elegant flacon that is reminiscent of vintage perfumes from the 1920s and 30s. As before, the bottle is finely faceted on the front, sides and cap, creating an exquisite jewelled effect, and is adorned with the Muse name and Kate Moss’s signature in classic gold. However, this time, the glass is tinted a beautiful amethyst colour, hinting at the purple violet at the heart of the fragrance and conveying a sense of luxury. As a perfect finishing touch of femininity, the neck of the bottle is adorned with a band of intricate gold and violet flowers.
The experience of boudoir chic is completed by the stylish folding box in metallic shades of purple. Complementing the floral design on the bottle collar, the pack is decorated with a delicate pattern of flowers. The overall look is one of vintage elegance and understated glamour.
The arrival of Vintage Muse will be accompanied by a print advertisement featuring an iconic and timeless image of Kate Moss. Shot by legendary photographers Mert and Marcus, who themselves have been inspired by Kate, the striking profile portrait captures the supermodel’s undeniable beauty and inner-strength. To create a classic, vintage feel, the powerful visual is predominantly black and white – the only flashes of colour come from the strap of Kate’s purple dress and the overlay of the amethyst fragrance bottle. The Vintage Muse logo runs across the top of the image, creating the impression of a high-fashion magazine cover, which Kate has graced so many times.
Indulge in Vintage Muse, a unique and sophisticated fragrance that will be loved forever.
