Chérie
by Kate Spade
Chérie by Kate Spade is a soft, fruity-floral fragrance with a bright opening of mandarin orange, raspberry, and red currant, leading into a delicate sweet pea and jasmine heart. The base offers a light musk and white woods, creating a clean, airy finish. It has a youthful, playful character that feels modern and accessible—ideal for spring and summer. The fragrance performs well in longevity, with noticeable wear even hours after application. While the initial burst is bright and candy-like, the scent settles into a sweet, powdery dry down that many associate with nostalgic memories of Bath and Body Works, Estée Lauder Youth Dew Soap Bars, or casually styled sweet pea perfumes. It’s simple and coherent, lacking complexity but offering charm through its freshness and wearable quality.
