TRULYjoyful
by Kate Spade
TRULYjoyful by Kate Spade is a bright, zesty citrus fragrance centered on freshly peeled orange, with a lively spark of ginger and pink pepper. It evokes the memory of a cold, creamy orange popsicle—refreshing, clean, and gently spiced—leaving a fleeting but delightful impression. The scent is unapologetically citrus-forward, with no heavy sweetness or gourmand base. It lingers for under an hour, fading quickly without a noticeable drydown. The scent has a light, clean, and slightly medicinal quality, reminiscent of fresh produce or a clean wash, making it ideal for warm-weather days and casual wear. Despite its short lifespan, many find it uplifting and irresistibly fresh, particularly during spring and summer.
