Happy Valentine's Day! Kate Spade Twirl Review

Kate Spade Twirl
I was first introduced to Kate Spade's Twirl fragrance when I received my June 2011 Birchbox

Sweet, fruity, and almost effervescent, it reminded me of Yyes Saint Laurent timeless classic Yvresse (originally known as Champagne).  I love that fragrance, and I love Twirl.  I found that it was not as heavy as Yvresse, and certainly not as complex.  I decided to purchase a full size bottle.

Twirl is packaged in a red and pink box. Inside, I found an adorable round bottle with gold dots!  Light glints off the gold and reflects prettily on surrounding surfaces.

Although I have worn this in the office, the fragrance is one that I particularly enjoy wearing in the evenings, or when I am at a party.  This is partly because the fragrance does tend to wear off after a few hours, and partly because the scent does evoke rather more festive emotions. I can definitely detect the peachy notes in Twirl, along with currants and berries.

I absolutely love this fragrance for Valentine's Day. It makes me want to nibble on strawberries and sip champagne!
