The unique, citrus-infused scent Kate Moss swears by for summertime luxury
Kate Moss' perfumes of choice are a celebration of florals and sharp, invigorating citrus notes - ideal for summer spritzing...
If you feel your fragrance collection is missing a burst of summertime nostalgia, Kate Moss' perfume picks offer an array of sparkling citrus notes, elegant florals and rather unique, skin-loving formulas...
Whether it's her effortless, parred-down makeup looks or chic sense of style, the supermodel is often our go-to whenever we find ourselves in need of inspiration and now it seems, we can impart her flawless taste into another aspect of our lives: our best long-lasting perfume collections. Luckier still, there's not just one scent that Kate Moss relies upon for a luxe and memorable impression but two - both of which boast crowd-pleasing notes and suit a range of budgets.
So, if you're seeking a new scent for the summer months or are struggling to zero in on fragrance amongst the plethora of best perfumes for women, why not take a few cues from the model - and the aromas she 'wouldn’t leave the house' without?
The chic Kate Moss-approved perfumes to add to your summer rotation
For many of us, our favourite violet perfume or skin scent is as crucial to our morning routines as putting on a bra or brushing our teeth. It feels downright wrong to leave the house without a few sprays of our signature - a sentiment shared by fashion icon, Kate Moss. And there are two perfumes, in particular, that she always reaches for.
Sharing her beauty staples with the Evening Standard in 2018, Moss wrote: "I wouldn’t leave the house without scent on," before citing some of her favourites as; Clarins Eau Dynamisante and Serge Lutens Fleurs D’Oranger Eau de Parfum.
Chic & floral
RRP: from £125 for 50ml | Notes: Orange blossom, jasmine and white rose
Featuring a classic blend of elegant florals, this Serge Luten scent is described as having a 'clear, airy sillage' - making it perfect for everyday wear but especially in the summer months.
Cirtusy & skin-loving
RRP: From £42 for 100ml | Notes: bitter orange, mandarin, petitgrain, lavandin, eucalyptus, tarragon, nutmeg and patchouli.
This refreshingly affordable scent isn't your average perfume. It's described as a 'treatment fragrance' because its 95% natural formula works to tone and revitalise your skin whilst leaving a fresh scent of mandarin, eucalyptus and patchouli (to name just a few of its notes) behind.
The first, Clarins' Eau Dynamisante is rather special, as it's a treat to the skin as much as it is to the senses. Described as a 'treatment fragrance,' it works to tone and moisturise the skin, leaving a soft scent of bitter orange, mandarin, petitgrain, lavandin, eucalyptus and patchouli in its wake.
Moss' second go-to is a traditional eau de parfum and offers more of a floral impact, with elegant notes of orange blossom, jasmine and white rose. Serge Lutens as a brand, is known for its luxe perfumes - even offering a trendy milk perfume in its lineup - and this refined flowery number is no exception and is sure to be a hit with fellow floral fragrance fans.
