Kate Moss Wild Meadow ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 16 February 2010 34 Comments

Kate Moss Wild Meadow perfume

Kate Moss will launch Wild Meadow in March. The new limited edition fragrance was inspired by the beauty of the English landscape at sunrise.

Wild Meadow was developed by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu; the notes feature bergamot, pink grapefruit, peach, rose, magnolia, honeysuckle, apple blossom, benzoin and amber.

Kate Moss Wild Meadow will be available in 30 ml Eau de Toilette. (via bellemania.de, pinkmelon.de)

    Wow not another flanker. Sounds perfectly boring!

      Absolutely. makes me think I’ll revisit the vintage Chamade from yesterday. Much more interesting.

      Admittedly it does not sound exciting.

    So they grow a lot of pink grapefruit in the wilds of England, do they?
    Right next to the bergamot groves I suppose. Of course they could be referring to bergamot the herb which is bee balm (I think) and that’s related to mint both of which grow in brrrr-cold Michigan–so bergamot growing wild in England would have to be the herb….but still….Pink grapefruit? I can see it now: ” I say, Herbert, the hounds have run that wily fox into Squire Dunghill’s pink grapefruit grove. I daresay he’ll object to the horses tromping about in there so close to harvest….” (It’d be so difficult to be the gentry)

      That’s pretty darn funny. I myself was wondering where they grow pink grapefruit over there.

        ;-) well, he thinks he’s growing pink grapefruit in the wilds of England so I’m pretty sure he’s “full of it”

      That made me snort with laughter. Yes, the lovely grapefruit groves of England… Ha!

    This is gently hilarious, isn’t it? I mean, if there’s a more resolutely urban person on this planet than Kate Moss, then I’m a badger.

    The only way a wild meadow fragrance that would be true to her persona is if Maisondieu put a nice Glastonbury mud accord in there, with a hint of wellington boot and just the slightest murmur of pot in the drydown. But good old Coty’s giving this sweet little floral thing the old college try.

    It’ll probably sell by the bucketload.

      It’s gently hilarious that she has a perfume line at all. I did hear the EdP version of the first one was pretty nice.

    I hazard that Ms. Moss couldn’t smell a rotting vole tucked in her shirt after all of the damage she has done her nasal passages.

      I was having the same nasal passages thought (while gigglesnorting at Daisy). Plus, I can confidently confirm that we do we not grow peaches or grapefruit (of any hue) in our wildflower meadows over here :-)

    looks like a bottle of nail polish… it may smell like nail polish too…

      The cap shape is sort of nail polish, true.

    It’s ironic that a fragrance that’s supposed to smell like an English meadow has pretty much none of the notes that one should associate with such. Grapefruit & Magnolia? Really?

      Oh well. Doubt that will matter much to sales.

    I simply must add my meow: meow, meow, meow. Too irresistible. She has the gall to shill perfume while she tells people/reporters/groupies she is saving up for a private jet… forgive me for going waaaay off topic but she brings out the 10% Marxist/Leninist in me that is typically well-behaved until **-addled creatures like her pull one of these. Mitsouko, take me away!

      Saving up for a private jet? That’s funny.

    I, too, wondered about the pink grapefruit – and the magnolia and honeysuckle – that apparently grow so well in an English meadow. There I go, expecting perfume ad copy to make sense again…

    ROTFL – the only English sunrises Kate Moss has ever seen involve the aftermath of an all-nighter in sooty old London, I’ll wager.

    Does her name really sell perfume? Really?! Because there is no one I would want to smell like any less, except maybe Amy Winehouse.

      It must! This is her 4th or 5th or something.

      I would expect she smells like cigarettes and liquor. (And maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I think I’d prefer that to the faux-English garden scent.)

    Well, I would give this a try, If it gets here to New Zealand. I like the name “wild meadow”. It appeals to the hippie in me.
