It's half fun but dealing with the general public daily makes my blood pressure soar, I don't understand how people don't have manners!
Anyway...
An exciting new launch came in this week - It was Katy Perry's debut fragrance 'Purr'!
I've been excited all week for it, checking every delivery we've had just waiting for the launch kit to come in, and yesterday - it did! Now, no photos are supposed to be taken at work (due to merchandising rules etc) but I sneak peaked this one in the stock room (so I won't be in trouble) on my Blackberry - sorry for the poor quality:
 |
| Yes the bottle is shaped like a cat! It has a silver collar with the words 'Purr' written on it, jewelled eyes and a really cute little kitty face on the box. |
The top notes include Peach, Gardenia and Apple which definitely are picked up to begin with, however not in a sickly fruity/sweet way.
The middle notes are Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose and Freesia that warm down to the base notes of Creamy Sandalwood, Vanilla Orchid, and Musk.
To sum it up I'd say it's a subtle fruity/floral with a definite pick-up of Vanilla base. I love it, it's gorgeous for either a dayime or an evening fragrance, plus it's Eau de Parfum so should last upto 6-8 hours (depending on your skin type).
I love the advertising campaign too, Katy in a kitty outfit, looking fierce and playing with a giant ball of yarn - pure joy!

Other celeb fragrances I highly recommend are: Jennifer Anniston, Beyonce Heat and Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Wicked Style collection.
What's your favourite fragrance?

Hopefully Katy smells better than she sings? That X Factor performance was painful to watch...
ReplyDeleteFrom your description I think I'm gonna like Purr - and I can't help falling for the pussy cat bottle. Even if it smells like cat pee, it'll look great on display!
My faves are most definitely Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb, Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir and Coco Mademoiselle (for work etc) xx
Oh my goodness I want this just for the bottle, I don't care what it smells like ^_^ x
ReplyDeleteLove love love! I love cats (check) i love katy perry (check) and i love novelty (check!). I have to make this mine!
ReplyDeleteoooo, this perfume sounds just up my street! i think it's a possible player for my christmas list = )x

That sounds like it could smell amazing! I really want to buy a perfume, cos I just wear body mists/sprays, and it sounds like this is a contender. I'll have to have a smell of it.

In relation to your email, I hope your car didnt get clamped that day at work btw!! :( what is your most fave perfume in the entire world? have you smelled any right stinkers (excuse the pun) which dont deserve a place on the shelf? hope you have a lovely weekend whatever youre upto :) xx
ReplyDeleteaha i agree with the first comment, let's hope she brews fragrances better than she sings (sounds like some sort of witch around a cauldron). Wow that's an unusual (and interesting) certificate to have, but i suppose it's like wine, only you don't get to drink the perfume afterwards :)
ReplyDeletemy fav perfume is either Givenchy - irresistable. or lola by marc jacobs :)
loooooovely post, as always <3
xx

x

ReplyDeleteThat looks really really sweet and I am loving Katy Perry in that campaign meow!

Wow I no nothing about fragrance and wore the same perfume for about 4 years so am very impressed with your knowledge! I guess my favourite is Marc Jacobs Daisy as it's the only perfume I own!
ReplyDeleteCorr, you sound like a rather good advisor in this post ;) I may have to pop in to my local store and give this an airing. The bottle is just beyond cute as it is.
ReplyDeleteYou're off to NY next month? Hope you have the time of your life! I really want to visit NY in the snow x
ReplyDeleteThat bottle looks super cute.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, 'cus Katy was singing like a cat at the EMAs
Not crazy about celebrities perfume. Follow me if you wish and I will return the favor.
ReplyDeletehttp://mypretaporterblog.blogspot.com/
My fave celeb fragrance is Christina Aguilera, the lace bottle one. But my fave perfumes of all time are Ralh Lauren romance/Alien/Amor Amor/Diamonds ah man I could go on. Will check this out, I love kitty purry!! xx
ReplyDeletea veeery cute bottle =) now i wanna find it and smell =) i think i'll liek it =)
ReplyDeletemy faves are:
ReplyDeleteD&G light blue
Marc Jacobs DAISY
Versace bright crystal
Dior cherie - the green one :)
I only really want this for the bottle. I've prepared myself for the actual perfume not to be that astounding....but then again, I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteJust now I wear Marc Jacobs Lola but my favourite scent is probarly Jean Paul Gautier or Coco by Chanel. xx
forget the perfume i'm just stunned by that cat outfit... yeh thanks to katy perry i now want to dress like a cat (eh probs not the best idea)... damn you katy perry ha!
ReplyDeleteI actually did a post on all my favourite fragrances here - http://rockin-bones.blogspot.com/2010/11/you-smell-like-how-angels-outta-smell.html
ReplyDeleteLove this post- the perfume sounds lovely, im tempted to check it out!
Great post! I love celeb gossip too :P xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh dear lord! I have over 200 bottles of perfume (all kept in a very cool, dry place, and not out on display) - it's nice to see a blogger who knows what they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit dubious about Celebrity fragrances as I find very fruity or chocolatey notes (which often dominate this genre) tend to be very sickly on me (I cannot wear Tierry Mugler's Angel, for example, without feeling nauseous) - the exception to this is JLo's Glow.
My absolute favourites?
Summer Breeze by Ghost (2002 limited edition), Stella McCartney "In Two" and Stella, Premier Jour by Nina Ricci and anything by JPG (bar Madame), and at the moment, I can't stop wearing Ed Hardy's Hearts and Daggers.
I've never really found a celeb fragrance that I've liked enough to buy! But I actually had a sniff of this one and I agree it's actually a gorgeous smell. :)
