Kate Spade has launched Live Colorfully Luxe, a new flanker to 2013's Live Colorfully.
The silkiness of your favorite dress. The first spark of a candle. Chocolates with the check. That’s Live Colorfully Luxe. It's vibrant like the original Live Colorfully—this fragrance is rooted in bright florals, too. But it’s a little spicier, sultrier. (That's the leather and incense talking.) Inviting and warm. (Hello, musk.) These notes melt into your skin and linger. Like a really, really good kiss.
A trio of spices led by pimento berries create a spirited, uplifting impression from the start. Orris imparts a touch of floral and enhances the fragrance’s sultry smokiness from the heart. At its base, leather, ambergris, vanilla and musk wrap these notes with comfort and warmth.
Kate Spade Live Colorfully Luxe is available in 30 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum or 10 ml rollerball.

Interesting that the company is still pumping out new whatevers (maybe this was in the works for a long time?). I have been seeing so many Kate Spade products heavily discounted. I find the brand irredeemably tarnished for me by Spade’s suicide. Every time I see her name I am reminded of her depression, which was so great that she left behind a teenage daughter. So sad. All too human. Impossible for me to by anything with her name emblazoned on it.
The name went to InterParfums in 2017, for an 11 year licensing deal. You could argue that all of these perfumes have so little to do with their respective brands that it shouldn’t even matter whose name they slap on the perfume bottle, but of course it does.
And adding, Coach bought out Kate Spade anyway, so that’s one more degree away from any meaningful connection with the actual person, Kate Spade.
At the time Coach bought the company, “Kate Spade has 24 licensing agreements across multiple categories, including bedding (DWI Holdings), athleisure (Beyond Yoga), eyewear (Safilo), rugs (Jaipur), stationery (Lifeguard Press), furniture (EJ Victor) wallpaper/fabric (Kravet).”
I hear you, but it is still impossible for me to get past the name. regardless of who owns it. In this case, for me, a rose by any other name would smell sweeter!
Oh, I get it! And it’s why they pay for the name, so you’ll make an emotional connection to the product.
I agree, too sad. 🙁
