Purr Katy Perry for women Pictures

The composition of Katy Perry Purr is developed by Firmenich perfumer house, combining top notes of peach, forbidden apple, gardenia and green bamboo with the heart of jasmine, pink freesia and Bulgarian rose and the base of vanilla orchid, creamy sandalwood, white amber, coconut and musk.

The image of the bottle is in the form of a cat with eyes like jewels, colored in metallic shades of lavender.

The advertising poster, signed by Miles Aldridge, shows the famous pop star dressed in a pink and purple latex cat suit playing with a huge ball of wool.

Katy Perry Purr is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml EDP and an accompanying collection of bath foam and body lotion. Purr was launched in 2010.

I love this fragrance! I tried it out at Kohls and I honestly thought I would be disappointed, however I think it's very nice! Yes, there is nothing really spectacular about the scent but it still smells good. And the bottle is too cute! I will be adding it to my collection of celeb scents.

As far as the scent, it smells like some sort of sophisticated fruit punch with vanilla.

Bought this today from Chemist Warehouse, $31 for 100ml! Unbelievably cheap!! I'm in love with the bottle and the smell, I can not stop spraying my self, it is delcicious. Now I can't wait to step out of the house with this yummy fragrance on :D

It is a typical 'young' perfume - cloying sweet, one-dimentional, nothing exciting really. When u smell it, one note is quite prominent and it is the one that seems to appear in many cheap perfumes - I call it a 'cheap perfume factor' , and I don't like it. If I were 15, I'd probably did;) sorry folks!

I really love this perfume, first time i tried it i didn't really give it a chance because it didn't strike me as much as other perfumes. But i sprayed this on myself recently and it smells beautiful :) smells like vanilla and candy- delicious :D and the bottle is sooo cute! I can't wait to own this one, and her other one meow is not bad either :P

It's very heavy in vanilla and coconut, and kinda reminds me of Play-Doh at first if I spray it too much. The notes don't seem to change much with time; maybe a tiny bit spicier towards the end (sandalwood I guess?). Fruity notes don't stand out particularly, and I do notice bamboo here or there but it's nowhere near conspicuous. Sillage is decent and it does stay long on my skin. Interestingly depending on mood I might either find it sexy or just innocently sweet, but either way it's a very comfy scent. Overall I'd describe it as warm, soft, cozy, fuzzy, powdery, and creamy. Perfect for cooler weather, but may be a bit too cloying for a really hot summer day.

Didn't work on me. It ended up smelling like a newly opened barbie doll, all vinyl and plastic. It does last, I'll give it that. Hours later I still smell Barbie.

Windhill I'm so glad you can smell the bamboo. I was so embarrassed today. I had the perfume on and someone said it smelled like mens aftershave. On me the bamboo is so strong and never dies down on me. Does that happen to anyone else? Most perfumes smell so strong on me or the most odd note clings to my skin and never evolves.

This scent not bad at all. Smell very lovely and natural. I can detect strong peach, apple and bamboo which it put more depth and some green element to this fragrance. Unfortunately Purr's dry down gave me a little headache so i only wear it in coldly night at home. But it's really good fragrance for sure.

i bought this for my 13 year old daughter, and gave it a whirl too. On her it is perfectly appropriate, and the bottle looks cute on her dresser. On me, it is silly and young, but not unpleasant, and would look out of place on my dresser. I actually put it down amidst my perfumes and giggled a little.

Fruity floral, not too sweet, good lasting power and sillage, but not too strong.

My darling husband bought me this as a joke - he thinks the bottle is hilarious - he didn't expect me to actually wear it but I'm halfway through the bottle and really enjoying it! I don't usually care for fragrances produced by teen market celebrities but there is something abou this one that is really pleasing. The fruits are not too sweet, the inevitable candied vanilla is not overdone and the musk, though clean, addes a depth and warmth that is very nice. As an everyday sort of perfume it makes me smile, has great sillage and lasting power and is perfect for a spring/early summer day. I would say: Katy Perry - job well done!!

I was hoping to like this one but it's too strong. It's also a little too "young" for me and that's saying something, considering most of my perfumes are fruity/florals and gourmands! This is ideal for teenage girls who don't mind to stand out with their fragrances.

When I first saw this at the department store, I was drawn to the beautiful bottle. who could resist a purple kitty cat with diamond eyes ? The juice is shockingly generic though. It smelt like the ghost of a dozen other teeny bopper fruit perfumes, and my bf thinks it smells like a prosti-tot. No thanks.

Still loving the bottle. Revised my opinion of the scent. If used sparingly and you get past the opening flowery harshness is settles down to a peachy waft that is quiet pleasant. Use too much and I'm reaching for the headache tablets.
Purchasing Meow to keep Purr company. Hopefully that will be ok in small squirts also.

I find that the notes of Midnight Fantasy should be in here! To my humble nose, they are soul -sisters, twins with distinct traits but with one same heart... Together, layered, they make for an exquisite fruity-gourmand I can not get enough of . In my opinion, the name behind the juice is the nose's, not the signer so I rarely take that into account. The resulting 'yumms' I hear from those who sniff me with a deligthted smile are by far the most eloquent and authentic reviews I could ever get!

I have to admit, I got this one mainly for the bottle!
The scent is just 'ok' to me.
I can't detect any one note in this, it just seems like they are all mashed together and maybe there are too many.
Just seems like kind of a boring 'fruity floral'.

All in all its not a bad fragrance, but not something I would purchase again.

love her or hate her, this is a good fragrance.
deliciously fruity and tropical.
i get red apple the most, so much in fact, that i wonder why
dkny red delicious didn't smell like this instead of raspberry shampoo?
back to purr....this is red apple skins, coconut and vanilla.
sweet, tropical, and fruity.
the more i sniff, i can detect the final touch of tropical feel to this:
the dewy green sparkle of bamboo.
as for the bottle, i am amused by the kitsch and tackiness.....
its outlandish for sure, but the juice is so delicious i could drink it!
it creamy coconut milk subdued with tropical fruits and a green wink.

the upside is that it smells delicious, like sparking fruit and edible flowers. but the downside is that it keeps you sniffing at your wrist continually because it is so alluring and teasing. Since it doesn't last long at all on your skin, that's a problem, but because it's so attractive, you might end up like me, re-applying it every one to two hours.

Eventually I could try this one abroad.
Celebrities scents are not popular where I live. Only maybe some Britney Spears.
Not that I was dying to try it, but I'm generally curious. I expected your usual sweet, slightly sickening plastic gourmand of our days and there you are: exactly what I expected. It's not a stink or something that cannot be worn. I could wear it once in a while for fun, but to be honest this is not Perfume to me. Katy Perry is an extravagant singer with some talent. She should stick to easy-listening music and leave perfumes alone.
The bottle looked cute on website but the real bottle is quite heavy and tacky.

I love her first fragrance. At the beginning, it smells fruity, like peaches and a little apple note and I even think I can smell some citrus fruits, why this perfume reminds me of Britney Spears' "Hidden Fantasy" a bit.

After a while, when the fruity notes have faded, it smells like creamy vanilla and some cocos notes on me. This is the moment when I love this perfume the most.

Usually I don't like bottles like this perfume has, they look too childish for me. But somehow I like this one. But I'd prefer a bottle where you only put up the head of the cat, not the silver heart too. This is a bit annoying.

I'm really happy with this perfume, I LOVE it. On Friday I'll be in the UK for three weeks and I think I will buy her other perfume, "Meow", too. Germany hasn't got this so far. :(

Wow.. As a gourmand fragrance lover , this one just hit the spot.. my oh so sweet tooth sure got a blast of sugary fruitiness : Peach Nectar heaven! The bamboo gives it it's unique fresh green note which harmonises beautifully with apple and gardenia.Those top notes seem to linger all the way through the drydown on me... (I do wonder what creates that grape bubblegum smell though!) Then blooms the jasmine with its sweet freshness and the heady Bulgarian rose adds a sparkling quality to this luscious fragrance. The drydown remains on my skin and clothes forever though ususally I can not smell a perfume that suits me . The base nostes linger loyally even after 4hr : a soothing mikly coconut and vanilla swirl touched with tropical notes of orchid. The white amber( synthetic, thank God),creamy sandalwood, and skin musk make for a lovely feminine and warm trail .Never have I gotten sooo many compliments in one day! This gorgeous purple ,topaze-eyed kitty is such a lovely addition to my scent- 'boudoir' corner! I want the 100 ml please! Bring on the bling! (thanx Apassionatelou)

I've finally given this a proper try on my skin today, and honestly, it is much nicer than I expected. It is soft and feminine. At first it felt like the essense of clean sun warmed beach skin - I really sensed the coconut and the bamboo. Then it moved into a more floral fruity phase. I can really sense the gardenia and the peach here. Definitely musky as well, the bamboo and coconut linger quietly. It kind reminds me of a softer cleaner version of Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming. A cleanly tropical musky fruity floral. It's nice. It actually makes me feel a bit light headed. Sillage is definitely satisfactory. Longevity seems good too.

I'd bought this one for the bottle, and because I like Katy. Couldn't resist the cute cat design :)

Well, the juicy is not that good. I find it rather synthetic fruity/berryish.

A bit too teenage-ish for me.Reminds me of a Britney Spears perfume. Hope Meow is better:)

Tested this yesterday, vanilla, coconut, peach, apple and something green, I'm guessing its the bamboo, on a gentle white floral background. The bamboo and apple keep it fresh, and while its definitely a gourmand there is a crisp, sparkling and "almost" but not quite aquatic element to it thats pretty nice, almost certainly from those notes. Its a really nice light summer fragrance that reminds me of being at the beach on a balmy warm but not hot day. The vanilla in this is quite noticeable and it lingers for quite some time, the coconut isnt quite as forward, but you can smell it and recognise it. The apple is in the top and extends for quite a few hours till the drydown and bottom notes. Interestingly enough after around 2-3 hours what was left was a peachy-vanillic skin scent. Longevity is pretty poor, sillage is very low - but I'd be more inclined to refer to it as a skin scent anyway. Its not a standout perfume, but it certainly is very nice and will make a nice inexpensive summer everyday perfume in my rotation.

I bought this perfume solely because of the price ($20) at first it is extremely strong, then dries down to a citrus,sweet scent? I agree with the fruit loops comment, also grapefruit, some sort of zest of a fruit! I am in love with coconut, however I do not pick up coconut at all in this :( or apple really. I smell strong floral, citrus and BAMBOO. Would not purchase again, but for now I give it a 5/10

I am going to put all snobbery aside and admit that I really like Purr! I find the bottle quirky as well as the actual scent but in a good way. There's no escaping the fact that this is a celebrity fruity floral, but this one is slightly more than that. At first it's a little overwhelmingly fruity, but the dry down is actually pretty sophisticated. I plan to use this as one of my spring/summer fragrances. The tropical sweetness works well for the warmer months, but the vanilla and musk keep it from being too "young smelling" for me (I'm 28). Overall, not the best fragrance I've ever smelled, but very nice nonetheless!

This does smell pretty similar to Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties "Love", only sweeter and less soapy. But it also smells similar to Baby from the Wicked Style collection. Warm, peachy sugar, softly sweet florals, coconut water & bamboo.

This would make a fun summer fragrance as it is youthful, sweet and slightly tropical. The drydown stays true to the scent, it doesn't evolve, however it gets just a little woody. The musk is so light, it hardly sticks to me!

This is a pretty generic fragrance. Sweet, simple, lovable. I'm not a cat person whatsoever but the bottle is pretty charming! I can see young girls loving this. I bought this on a whim, just because I was in Kohl's and had nothing better to do so i figured, why not? I'll wear it and enjoy it, but I probably won't repurchase as I have two other scents just like it.

EDIT- I'm noticing a creamier drydown now, which is really enjoyable. It still disappears almost as soon as it dries :( I still like you, Katy.

The first whimp of smell smell really peachy and sugary, think peach milkshake and the drydown is no different than all the celebrity perfume that are out there. Extremely forgettable, the kind of perfume that you wear and by the time the smell is gone, you probably didn't realize you had it on.

So I'm a sucker for Katy Perry.I love all of her albums and listen to them on Spotify..I think she has talent and her perfume is brilliant! I love "Last Friday Night'' and ''Circle the drain''...Heehee

Purr reminds me of Mugler's Alien ( yes the original purple Alien)! It does, please don't laugh..I'm so serious..It has the same seductive jasmine with a woodsy creamy background..Purr is very tame though, it's appropriate for a younger audience..I absolutely love the warm orchid and musky vanilla in the base. Yes maybe Purr is typical but it IS well blended...It has throw and longevity, about 4-5 hours on me...I bought the 100ml for a decent price..

I'm so digging the cute kitty bottle! What can I say?

I love you Katy Perry!

I am loving this!! I'm wearing in in -15 snowy weather and it's so soft, warm, cozy, the amber, vanilla, CREAMY scent is purrfect! It's like the creamiest scent on me, not much of floral or fruit. I highly recomended for lovers of "creamy" sweet scents.

I usually only have one fragance that is for winter in my collection and this one is as winter as it gets for me.I hate heavy smells that occur in most of the warmer fragrances that are appropiate for winter.I enjoy fruity floral smells and this one is definitely one but the coconut makes it creamy and kinda warm perfect for this winter.(At least for me that is)And propably I will still rock it on spring and summer as it is a fruity one.

This perfume smells very strongly of peach, like candy peach. and dries down to a beautiful vanilla scent!

Just got this today..
In love! Smelling it directly from the bottle.. it's hard to get the real fragrance. So don't judge it until it's on your skin. It starts off on me a really strong apple, which is nice, but after a few minutes it turns into a delicious peach-rose-coconut-vanilla scent. But it's really not a fruity fragrance; it's for someone young, but it's still mature enough for a woman.
Definitely a day fragrance for me.. I feel it's versatile for all seasons..
Just in love.
I used Harajuku Lovers LOVE before this, which I totally love too but I needed something new (used it for over 3 years).
I feel this is perfect replacement. (:

funny story how I got to sample this, while I was at work stocking, I saw a section with lots of smaller 1 oz sprays, and after work I went ahead and bought it, I opened the pack as soon as I payed for my stuff. after that I noticed the spray canister was leaking O__o and I smelt really funky on my hands >_< I did not like the way it smelt, it smelt like a bad combination of popcorn and grape soda! it could have been because the canister was already damaged or because it just didn't smell right on me, >.> when I get the chance I will try to sample it again later to give it another try and then decide if I want this fragrance or not, the bottle is one of the main reasons I want this in the first place

This is one of those rare perfumes that you can wear all year round, in any season, in any weather, day or night. The warm, soft heart notes mix beautifully with the top fruity, vibrant top notes. The two opposites combine to make something you can wear at any time, for any occasion. The cute bottle only makes it better!

this is for the girl that wants to wear a fruity fragrance in the winter. because of the vanilla, it works WELL and isnt musky at all.. a rarity when it comes to winter fragrances.

no doubt this is mostly a spring fragrance, but i find it works well in the winter.

Ok. I believe i have finally put into words, how this smells to me. Somehow, katy and the rest of purrs noses, were able to make a sweet coconut /vanilla cream...FRESH! Ive honestly never smelled a delicious, almos edible cream smell so refreshing. I feel like im sitting in a 5 star restaurant eating sweet cream witha variety of succulent fruits...topped with something magical that almost sparkles. I cant explain it any other way. Im not sure why, but i am so in love!

Fresh and fruity! To me, it's like biting into a fresh juicy apple while in a garden surrounded by the aroma of sweet flowers. I get no coconut and not much vanilla, and it's not sugary sweet at all. I get mostly apple and flowers. When it dries down, it has a slightly powdery overtone which I love. I also really like the bottle. It's fun and kitschy, just like Katy.

Ive been trying to think of how to review purr because it really is that good to me. I cant think of the correct adjactives! It also lasts a good 5/6 hrs and i get compliments galore when i wear it! Definitely buying it with Christmas money!

I really love this perfume, not only because of the cute bottle because of the smell! It's just wonderful, and I need to buy another bottle shortly! It's airy, fruity, and perfect.

Katy Perry Purr is a light fruity fragrance. Smells like peach sunscreen and there really isn’t any more to it because it has no lasting power and fades quickly. It’s not awful but, it’s not memorable. It’s very generic. It’s too bad because the bottle is super cute! Hopefully her new fragrance Meow is better.

I'll tell you a secret. Sometimes, in my baddest dream, I think that there is one big giant 'Vat of Fruity Floral 'mother fragrance''. Whenever the PR 'Mad Men' divison of a big cosmetics conglomerate decides that it is time again for a new celeb fruity floral, because customers must hand over more of their hard earned cash to the shareholders and CEO's of those company's, they tap out of that 'Big Giant Vat', put it in a different bottle, paste the face and name of the 'celebrity du jour' on it and here you go: play the theme song of Trumps' 'The Apprenctice': money, money, money money...
The 'Vat' contains some fruity notes, some floral notes, vanilla of course and few sugary cotton candy elements. Nothing difficult about it. I has also nothing to do with perfumery art and originality and creativity. It is just business.
What I don't understand is that celebs whose integrity I value highly, play along in that money scheme. For their own bank account no doubt. Again play Trumps' Money-theme here. Take Katy Perry. I am, well was, a fan of her. A bit whacky, original, colorful, out of the mainstream, a 'Personality', a 'Face'. Mind you, I have nothing against 'celeb frags' per se. I only excpect that a piece of the celeb 'image' is found in the fragrance that has the name, picture and image of that celeb. That is not asking too much, isn't it? And it is possible to do that. Think about Kat von D's 'Sinner' or Shakira's 'S', Liz Taylors 'frags'... Like 'em or loathe them, but they all have an own 'personality'. They are not interchangable at all.
Butcolorful Katy Perry's first frag 'Purr', is a bitter grey dissappointment. All the zaniness, edge, 'color' of Katy has dissappeared. No, not disappeared, it wasn't there in the first place. What was she thinking? Has she smelled this fruit salad juice before it went on the market? It is just nother run of the mill generic fruity floral out of the 'Big Fruit Floral Vat'. If you put a frag on the market with your name, photo and image, all of which you have sold or leased to a fragrance company to use for a truckload of dollars, it should a least be a bit 'Katy Perry' and not a anonymous zillionth faceless duplicate of 'a fruity floral'. The fans who pay their hard eared cash for this, pay to buy a piece of 'Katy Perry the zany popstar with suprises', the image like it is as in her clothes, music, video's. The image she works so hard to get across in hed music, vids, apperances. And if ther is not one little piece of 'Katy Perry the popstar' reflected in the frag, it should come with a warning sticker, like those 'Parental Advisory' stickers. A 'Fan Advisory' sticker on the frag boxes and bottles: 'Warning, this bland fruity floral has nothing to do with the sprarlking, zesty and zany sharp image of Katy Perry and the Katy Perry you know from TV and the Katy Perry because of which you would buy this expensive bottle.'
Well... Let's take a closer look at the fragrance. The note pyramid.
Top: Gardenia, bamboo, peach, red apple
Middle: Jasmine, freesia, rose
Base: Musk, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, coconut, orchid.
Where is the zany personality of Katy? The unexpected twist, the originality, the creativity? The surprising fragrance notes, the zingy twists, the creativity, the exciting vibe of Katy Perry? This is as cliché as it gets for a fruity floral, even her most ardent fans will have to admit this much. Flowers, some fruit and a cliché base. The only slightly 'surprise note' is the bamboo. Or maybe coconut in the base. Coconut that has the olfactaroy quality to top the eventual edginess of other fragrance notes of. And that in the base. You would almost suspect the frag company that after a fight with Katy they made a frag totally opposite to her effevescent, twist-and-turn image. But honestly, I can't detect any 'surprises', 'unexpected notes'. It is the Big Mac version of a fragrance: trying to please everyone and sell as much as possible. I didn't espect taht from Katy Perry, of all celebs. This is peach fuzz from the most safe, grey and bland kind. Peach, vanilla, gardenia, rose, sandalwood, orchid... O.H. M.Y. G.A.W.D.!!! Not Katy Perry of all pop stars, the one who brought some originality, wackiness and color on the TV! And she delivers one of the most boring, safe, and generic of all fruity floral ever made! I am very, very, yes VERY dissappointed. And a bit angry. Who does she thinks she is, pushing us this totally un'Katy Perry stinker down the throat for big bucks?
I bought this blind, believing that Katy Perry would stay true to herself and deliver an orignal, somewhat wacky and zany fragrance. I never, in a million years expected this snore-fest from Katy Perry. I honestly thought and hoped and prayed that a personality like Katy Perry would come up with something truely remarkable. But I now think: maybe also her vids and pics are just fake: hot air, make believe, a falsified image of a zany personality created by a bunch of 'Mad Men' that has nothing to do with the 'real' Katy Perry. And I don't even want the 'real' Katy Perry in a frag where she poses as the popstar Katy Perry. I want a Katy Perry fragrance in the vein that she earns her money, as zany Perry. Maybe Katy is a mean b***h in real life. But I expect at least a frag where her showbizz personality can be recognised. And that absolutely not the case in this bland, worn out, tired totally uninspired frag. It is 100% different from the wacky Katy Perry we know from TV, mags... and love so dearly. But so bland, so genereic, so run of the mill, so cliché... I can't get over it. I feel deeply embarrassed in Katy's place. There was once a thread here: 'Do you think that celebs wear their own celeb fragrance?' I know for sure that Katy Perry doesn't. And if she does, it even makes it worse!
There is nothing much too say about the frag itself. It is an unremarkable fruity floral of which there are hundreds and tens of them are better made and much cheaper. 'Purr' is a generic fruity flower with vanilla. All the clichés of a fruity floral are here. And this is 'Katy Perry'??? What a slap in the face of her fans! Her perfume is as good or bad as a zillion other celeb frags. Even Britneys vanillic-cotton candy OD is more original and is more 'Britney'. And- I thought I'd never have to say this- : Jessica Simpsons 'Fancy' is a perfume masterpiece with its velvety caramel-vanilla compared to Katy's blank canvas. 'Fancy' is 'Jessica', reeks 'Jessica'. But 'Purr', this bland anonymous fifteen-in-a-dozen interchangable faceless fruity floral, has nothing, I repeat nothing, to do with the artist 'Katy Perry', the colorful chameleon singer.
Very, very dissapointed. Katy: better stop feeding this garbage to your fans. They expect a frag that screams the colorful, vivacious, original, creative, zany 'Katy Perry'. If you can't do better than this, close your fragrance shop before your great image of a colorfull zany paradise bird, the slighly whacky pop princess is destroyed by your über bland fragrances. Even Mariah Carey did better in the fragrance department. Shame on you Katy, shame!

I sampled this on my wrist today. When I first sprayed this on and smelled it all I got was the harsh alcohol smell and I thought "oh no, this is cheap and nasty" but after it had developed for a few minutes I decided that I really loved this! It's a beautiful, light, summery, fun daytime scent! I smell peach mostly and then I notice the floral notes. It's a lovely fruity floral. It's soft and sweet. It's not an expensive-smelling perfume but I love it anyway - it cheers me up!

as with all fragrances, you must spray this on your skin to get the true smell.
for me, after a few minutes, the vanilla completely disappears and im left with jasmine and apricot, touch of roses. its absolutely beautiful, i kept wondering what i was smelling that was so good =]


meow isnt anything like this.. ive seen people say its same but softer, etc... meow has absolutely no sourness to it. its 100% sweet, while this is a sexier fragrance, deeper. more character.

let´s be honest - WE LOVE THE BOTTLE. I am the Dior Addict girl. but the bottle is beyond awesome. especially the lid. anyways - the fragrance is not that bad as well - I mean - I got mine in Selfridges for 10£ / 100ml - pretty nice bargain. Not a £ more. It´s not worth it. It´s coconut, some flowers - mixture of cheap strong artificial begining that sprayed opened the EDP - but after 4 hours you can say BYE BYE . all of the artificial parts are gone, and what rests? NOTHING! But the bottle is nice. and that´s the only thing that matters.

I caved in and bought it. I couldn't control myself, those crystal eyes purred out to me! Being a cat lover I find the bottle so very cute and irresistible.
The scent itself is not too impressive. I was expecting a little more based on the combination of notes. It is really nice and fresh though, and I was on the look for something sweet and fresh. I smell a lot of apple and bamboo.

My only real complaint would be the projection and longevity. Barely any power there. Faded from my skin in less than 2 hours! If it was stronger, it would definitely be on my love list.

miffymuffin, your purple smiling pussy comment made me lol. I sometimes leave the bottle out for display as I like to imagine my cats worship it. hehe

Edit: Kinda feeling like I payed for a cute bottle instead of the perfume.

This is just ok. To me it seems like every other celeb fruity floral gourmand out there only with less staying power. On me this did a major disappearing act in about 2 hours. It smelled ok but if I were going to reach for a celeb perfume I would go for Britney Spears Fantasy over this one hands down any old day of the week. Sorry but I need lasting power if I am going to buy a celeb scent. I do however love the cat bottle with the jewel eyes!

When you first spray this on it has a gasoline smell. Once you get past the Eeew de Chevron station it's not bad. It's fruity and coconut but not sultry like
a cat purr perfume should smell. I like it but it's
not something that would be a favorite. It's not an expensive perfume so for the price , it's good.

I have an interesting story about purr.
It's actually the first perfume ever that a person selling the perfume told me straight up that the perfume smelled terrible and not to buy it. This lady was working at ulta and said purr smelt like cat piss. I appreciated her honesty, most of the time they lie because they are supposed to.
I was with 2 friends and we smelt it together. It was very acrid, sharp, sour, and fruity at the same time. We kept the card and kept sniffing it hoping it would get better. I hoped this scent would smell like creamy peach vanilla but that wasn't the case. My friends voted that the perfume smelt bad. I thought it wasn't horrible but wasn't good either. Below average about.
Terrible as it is..I would probably still buy this on clearance to collect the bottle...

Finally this perfume came to Europe, and especially my country at the local drugstore. I had to have it, unsniffed. It wasn't that expensive for a 50ml bottle.

The bottle design is to die for. I just love it so much. I adore cats, I have 3 and would love even more.

The perfume: I LOVE IT! This is different! It smells like coconut and peach. Love this stuff!

Lasting power: average, but it's ok.

I'm not disappointed! Lovely perfume from the wonderful katy perry!

Purr has probably the loveliest perfume bottle ever. I love cats and as I also love perfumes this is a good combination of these two.
The scent itself is nice and sweet. It has its fresher moments with bamboo and the floral notes but the sweet notes are dominating. Unfortunately Purr doesn’t have a big personality, it’s just a nice fragrance. I don’t think that it says much about the person who is wearing it. But I don’t need perfume doing the taking for me all the time so I’m still using it sometimes.
Anyway I’m keeping the bottle forever! Got to love the bottle!

I love the cat bottle, I think there should be more cat shaped perfume out there in general...The scent is not groundbreaking or niche, however it is unusual a bit different. The first note I smell is exactly like a drink called "Passiona" a passion fruit flavoured soft drink, (aussies old enough will remember) and an Ice-cream popsicle called "Splice" a cream & fruit combo (total childhood flashback)
So on me its a creamy, vanilla, passionfruit fizz that softens into a creamy floral (gardenia/orchid) with a touch of coconut. Its fruitiness turns into softness, dosen't last all day but I spray it in my hair, and I love it, not overbearing its nice day or night. Nothing about it reminds me of a cat though, cats smell sweet maybe creamy but never fruity.

My mother wears perfume well, so sprayed some on her and it totally smelled like "lily of the valley flowers" on her skin, it smelt amazing!! it does not smell like that on me, just creamy on me, the florals really came alive on my mum though.

PURR is pure fruit on first application, both the peach and the apple are mouth wateringly sweet and very life-like. On me the peach is the strongest, but the fresher apple tones down the sweetness. I don't know what makes a apple forbidden - because it was what Adam and Eve ate? Anyway the apple here is fresh but still sweet. What I think is the bamboo quickly develops: It is watery but sweet [similar to coconut water]. I can also pick up a hint of something similar to musk, but I actually think this is the bamboo too.

The bamboo note is quite strong and carries all the through the perfume, so the floral notes remain mild and a bit watery, yet still fully developed and easy to pick out. On me the jasmine and freesia are the strongest notes, whilst the soft rose adds a slightly powdery effect. In addition to the florals the coconut milk mixes with the bamboo, lending the soft florals more depth. I'd also swear that there is rhubarb present too; I'm reminded of those boiled rhubarb custard sweets you used to get at the corner shop.

As the florals burn down the coconut milk accord fully develops and becomes richer, sweeter and creamier thanks to the amber, sandalwood and ever-present bamboo. I can detect the lightest hint of musk but it's quickly lost underneath the creaminess, but I can't separate the vanilla [orchid], but everything else is sweet and creamy so I wasn't really expecting to.


True; PURR is never going to become a classic fragrance and the scent notes have all appeared in countless other perfumes over the years, but it is an all year round, all occasions, reasonably priced EDP that comes in a cute and unique bottle. To me that beats out the expensive, statement perfumes that make up the best-sellers list.

This is a nice scent but not surprising, it smells like you imagine it would do. The surprising note to me is coconut, it gives this predictable sweet smell a touch of freshness and makes it a bit different.

Gourmandy and fresh at the same time, it is possible!

I think (specially cos of the bottle) it is aimed to teenage girls, or thats what it looks like, just like her music.

The bottle matches the title of the perfume Purr. It's a really nice perfume that I would wear in the day in any season but winter. In the beginning I really smell the apple and the bamboo. The Gardenia and peach not as much.
In the middle I start to smell rose and jasmine. The last scents I smell are orchid, sandalwood, musk and coconut. The other stuff not as much. I think this lasts a long time and leaves and enters on a really good note. I recommend this perfume.

I finally realize why I like this perfume, and since my realization I've come to see this for what it really is.

Judging by the notes this sounds like something that should appeal to me. In fact it almost does, if it weren't for the rose. I find that rose in any scent tends to dominate the perfume and this was no exception. The vanilla and coconut here are not discernible as notes in this perfume, rather they serve as a lovely blend of sweetness deepening the sweetness of the fruit and flowers, most notably the gardenia.

This is very nice if you don't mind the mix of rose and gardenia, and the fragrance itself is surprisingly long lasting with a strong sillage for a celebrity fragrance. I only picked it up because it reminds me of a my childhood; my father's girlfriend used to smell like this and it takes me back to weekends at her place. But the more I smelled this the more a headache began to develop, despite my liking the smell. It just goes to show you how memories can influence sense of smell.

Plus, I'm sorry to those who disagree, but the bottle is just hideous/creepy/obnoxious. I honestly don't see why this is considered "cute," its just a complete eyesore to me :/

I really really like this perfume! At first by the picture on the packaging i had imagined it to smell really sweet like cotton candy(which is a scent i hate) and it doesn't at all. it smells really really good! and of course the bottle is just amazing and if i had the cash right now I'd by it in a heartbeat! but unfortunately i just spent my money on another amazing perfume :)

Soooo.... and i know everyone will hate me for this... I went to my local Big-lots where they sell an imitation of this called "kitty girl" and it smells almost the exact same only you dont get that sophisticated dry-down scent like you would in the real perfume. but for 3 bucks i think it was worth it haha. but the next time i have some extra cash i will definitely be getting this :)

I also like this fragrance. Lately, I am into floral fruity perfumes, the ‘mature ones’ as I like to say. ‘Purr’ really caught my attention just as soon as Fragrantica mentioned it.

The idea of having a perfume with a coconut base along with the rest of the notes was really attractive, so I mumbled ‘what the heck’ and immediately ordered 100ml bottle.

I did not regret buying it, obviously because I stated Purr as one of my favorites. I love the peach and pear notes from the very first smell, then I get a fainted rose note and soon after a strong coconut – vanilla scent. The sandalwood note was almost unnoticeable to my nose and that was good, as I am usually allergic to it.

Now, here comes the bad side: as everyone mentions, after almost half an hour of using it, I did not smell anything anymore. Literally, I had to re-spray it at least three times during the day in order to smell it on me. I own this fragrance since mid-August and now at the beginning of October, my bottle is already half way gone! I also layered it with some coconut body butter and to me the results were the same, except that the body butter smell was stronger than the perfume!

In conclusion, ‘Purr’ did not bring me a “return on my investment”, so I will not bother buying another bottle when it finishes.

PS. The good side of ‘Purr’? My husband adores cats, so when he saw the bottle he liked it and asked me where we will put it as a decoration. Sorry sweetheart, I know the bottle is nice, but I don’t want it in our living room, or, maybe... hmm, I will think about it!

I bought this perfume the instant that i saw it, cos firstly, i didn't think my town would sell it, and secondly, it's a damn cat bottle! who else does that? LOL. I even told the sales lady, i need to buy this, whether this smells bad, I don't care.

I love the bottle, its unique it's catchy and funny, grabs your attention very quickly.

As for the scent I'm concerned for my sinuses. It's like all the florals are clashing with each other to find dominance against the coconut and the vanilla. The vanilla and coconut project far from the skin, but if i bring my arm closer to my nose i smell the florals, so Vanilla/Coconut won in dominancy I think. The scent reminds me of those cocoa butter body lotions & vanilla birthday cakes, and so far that is all I can smell.

It seems as if that;s the only thing going on on my skin, that vanilla/coconut combo. I don't smell anyhting else...

EDIT:

I think this is actually a very good scent. On my skin it mixes well and the scent lasts very good on my skin. At the moment the coconut died down and gives this floral based vanilla scent.

the only persons who think this perfume is too mature are the ones who take it too seriously. I think if i had to class this, it would be 25 to 35 girls who live on the quirky side of life, but is also very confident and sure of themselves.

I didn't think I was going to like this too much, but i loved the bottle (cat obsessed) So i gave it a try.

All I can smell is rose when I wear this.
ROSES EVERYWHERE!

This scent is super strong, and If I am not careful it can be very overpowering

But it doesn't smell like every other celebrity scent on the market, and it keeps me interested.

I don't wear it much, but when I do I find it pleasant.

Much better then any of the newer celebrity scents that its competing with (the new rhianna perfume sucks!)

The fruity top notes of this perfume are overwhelming and way too sweet. That goes the same for the flowery middle notes - way too potent to enjoy. It is almost a relief when they fade into the lighter and milder vanilla-coconut blend which, sadly, compared to the rest of the perfume, are almost undetectable.

Unfortunately, this perfume misses the mark, not because it was a bad idea, but it was poor execution is scent combining. Too much emphasis on the top notes and not enough on the bottom notes.

D for Disparity.

When I first got this perfume I was in love with it, as I am a fellow Katy fan. I still like it, though it's not my favourite. Really nice smell to it, not too strong, very fruity and sweet. I can really smell the passionfruit in it, and some peachy tones. Doesn't last too long, around 5-6 hours.

My Inner-Tween may have been a wee bit hasty with the love-fest for Purr! I like it (FRFR) the peachy/appley top is scrumptious, the white whisper of gardenia and jasmine are also very pretty and endearing.

Coconut combined with "thin" vanilla and wishy washy watery notes are challenging on my skin.

Maybe I should have considered my physical age before yielding to my inner-child.

Good news is my seventeen year old niece thinks I'm the best-est Auntie in all the land.

I should know by now that theres not very many celeb. scents that I like. This one doesn't smell horriable, but it is nothing special. And true to most celeb scents it has NO staying power. Just a nice smell when you spray it on, and a very disappointing fade. The bottle, to me, is the best thing about it, soooo cute..... BUT who buys perfume just to look at a cute bottle...... I want to enjoy the perfume inside. It is not what I would expect a star of Katy Perry's status to market, guess I was expecting an exotic, alluring smell.

It isn't a bad fragrance but it does smell a little bit cheap but the price is deff. not afforable for alot of people. The bottle is an eye catcher but the diamond eyes are just a little bit creepy. The audience was right but the price isn't.

An indulgent treat for my Inner Tween. I purchased Purr today based solely on the aroma of the liquid inside the audaciously-kitsch-but-oh-so-artfully-marketable purple bling cat design bottle.

I have a "healthy respect" for cats (AKA an irrational phobia of) and I have been known to tap my forty-four year old foot to a Katy Perry song at the pub once or twice.

No-one is more surprised by my latest acquisition more than I.

However, marketing aside, Purr is outrageously flirtatious and witty. It screams merriment in the most delightfully delicious way. I am addicted to its playful aroma. To my nose and on my skin, Purr is anything but dull and uninteresting.

Spring is in the air and I'm gonna be marinating myself in this jolly juice for months to come.

I received a free sample of this. It is quite pleasant but not my sort of scent. The drydown is vanilla and vanilla and vanilla. The upside is that it doesn't last too long. It is quite a fresh sort of smell for casual wear so I will definitely use up my sample. It is highly unlikely I will ever buy a full size bottle of this one.
A clear case of greater effort spent on bottle design than actual contents. I would love to see a return to simple bottles with clean lines and a glass stopper with colourless bottles filled with golden fluid temptingly beckoning from within...

Just got a sample...for curiositys sake only of course! ;0) On me Purr smells of orange creamsicle, then dries down to a nice non sweet vanilla, tha's about it, it's nice it's wearable, it smells pleasant....nothing really groundbreaking. It would be a nice spring or summer fragrance and though it's marketed twards the younguns I can see the older ladies pulling this off, I could and I'm an old bat of 45! it's just a fun light nice vanilla based prefume, not sweet at all on me, or not noticably so....i'll use up my sample but most likely will not invest in a bottle, I already own my share of casual fragrances.

Scent: 8/10
Sillage: 5/10
Long lasting: 3/10

This is a beautiful fragrance that smells much more expensive than the Kitschy-cute bottle would have you believe. And I have impossibly high standards and lots of bad perfume experiences. On myself most perfumes turn quickly to their vanilla, musk or amber bases. This has been more dramatic.
I do detect the fruit here, but it is more of a peaches and cream fruit not at all like those gab-awful Be Delicious clunkers or half of the new perfumes on the market (seriously, why do companies/labs think all young ladies wish to smell like a Doyle fruit cocktail can ? and why do the girls go for it??!). Purr is more sweet than acrid and the lasting power is great (6hr plus). This is warm, classy, sweet, and very, very feminine. I detect freesia, vanilla, peach, amber, musk , bamboo & sandalwood more than the other notes.
The bottle is GORGEOUS. If you love cats, Catwoman or unusual decanters this is adorable. Men seem to love it too, the Catwoman sex-kitten look of the bottle is as charming as the scent.

Since I love cats, a bottle i s gorgeous.
And the scent is really fruity floral which I don't like usually.
But this one I love! Thanks to Nathalie Z I have a decant.
Also I hate peaches in scents but here is well blended with vanilla coconut.
This sort of vanilla reminds me to warm gourmand vanilla in Kenzo 5.40 in Madagascar- one of my favs!

I have say i am disappointed by this fragrance, though I wanted to like it a lot! The concept of the perfume is amazing, I love the name, the bottle, everything, though I am not sure how the cat image is related to Perry. But fun anyways. So about the perfume, I have to say, it smells really cheap on me. I do like the perfume starting with great deal of fruits but I am not a fan of gardenia and for some reason it turns out all gardenia on my skin. too bad.

Purr may not be the sexual, animalistic fragrance for that perfect feline, but it's a fun fragrance nevertheless.

This fragrance to my nose, is a blend of rich, boozy fruits, sugared lollipops and vanilla infused musk. The peach and apple accords are what drives the scent initially, arriving with such force that one could accidently mistake it for the scent of a jam factory.

Tropical in a sense, but not all that unique I'm afraid. Purr is yet another celebrity endorsed fruity floral that leaves me happy but not necessarily impressed.

The bottle design scares me to be honest. I love cats, they're adorable creatures, yet this strange, robotic purple figurine unnerves me, especially with it's flashing diamante eyes. It looks like Katy Perry has been trying to pick up on the Harajuku Lovers trend.

Once the scent begins to develop, the drydown seems like a mish-mash of notes all colliding together with no real intention. I get subtle hints of syrupy vanilla here and there, but it never seems to soften the fruity blow. The rose and orchid notes only make this fragrance more tart.

The longevity is not bad, nor is the sillage. I think all in all, it's not a bad fragrance. It's certainly something that will sell well and it's not a bad first-time try for Katy Perry and her brand.

Got this one for my birthday because everyone knows I love the cat bottle. I have since worn it a few times even though at my age of 53 (a very young looking 53 thank you) I thought I might be pushing it as it's a Katy Perry scent and therefore probably more for a twenty something... Well, I digress....I actually found it pretty and kind of nice. It doesnt last really long though and it isnt in the "haute coture" level of fragrance...lets not get snobby! It's cute though and if I feel like a little cat that day and just want to feel purrfectly feminine and young well, I wear it. If it will become a classic fragrance? Doubtful. However, it's a fun fragrance and the bottle is fun too...so just have fun with it!!!!

This perfume is a total bummer. The bottle was so damn cute, and I love cats. I really wanted to buy the perfume but I just couldn't get over the smell. It's unfair to me, I wish I could have this bottle with a different scent in it. :/. Katy perry purr smells like a very fruity chemical. There's some kind of musky rotten undertone to it too. :(. I guess the perfume is okay if you don't pay that much attention to the weird undertone, but I can't just can't bare to spend that much money on a bad perfume for even the cutest bottle I've seen in a while. Boohoo :(

Loved this perfume, its a beautiful fruity floral that seems like she spent some time on. Unlike some of the sloppy jobs that other celebs have done with theirs. The only problem I have is that even with the shower jell,lotion and perfume on it doesn't last long on my skin and doesn't seem to project very far. It is rather expensive too. Otherwise it has become one of my top faves. I am a fan of scents with peach and I can def. smell that peach in this, and the vanilla in the bottom notes in really pretty as well. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fruity sweet scents.

Wow. What a fantastic bottle. I want this. I don't care what it smells like. It could smell like cat wee and I'd buy it. I want to see this purple pussy smiling at me every morning. I bet it looks stunning with the sun shining on it. MEEOW!

Finally picked up a bargain off eBay. The bottle is lovely, the perfume sadly is not. If I had smelled it without knowing what it was I would have thought it was an Avon perfume as the majority of them seem to smell like this on me, strong, fruity and flowery.

It opened with a blast of fruit which was so strong, that it literally left a burning sensation in my nose. However weird it may sound, I am not joking. And then it was just vanilla coconut.

It doesn't stink but it doesn't really smell like perfume to me. It's more like a mixture of various fragranced cosmetics. Fruity shampoo and coconut body butter. Actually quite common these days because from what I see (and smell) a lot of modern fragrances is designed along these lines and Purr leaves no doubt that it belongs to this group.

An easily likeable fragrance but nothing new or outstanding.

Where do I start?...lol This is my first review and I am struggling for the words...lol
Like a good majority of us, because lets face it...our hobby is not cheap, I am a barginista. Untill now, I could proudly pick a scent and do the Happy Dance when I found just the right place,time, and outlet to buy it in, and have a 95% blind buy happy feeling. I now understand why the testers come with the cap...lol Foiled by the cutness...arrrrrr.
The first thing that came to mind when I smelled this was..."So, this is what it smelled like when Katy was on the cloud in what I call.....The Candy Fantacy Video." For me, the only silver lining or Candy in this is the ADORABLE Kitty Kat bottle.
In all fairness, if the longevity of the fragrance was longer.....I may be able to get past the Playdough afterscent that I assume comes from the Coconut/Bamboo/Sandalwood mixture.
Disappointment but, at least I now have an adorable Kitty that I don't have to play chef to ....lol

Soft, sweet, playful, floral, juicy, peachy fragrance!
I have to say that when I first smelt this fragrance I was not jumping for joy. I didn’t find it unique as the ad campaign had made out, to me it smelt just average. However, I still kept the bottle as I’m a sucker for adorable bottles and this was one of them. I still decided to use the fragrance now and then as even though I thought the scent was nothing special, I still found it pleasant enough. And now I have to say that over time I have really grown to love this scent.
The peach is very prominent on first application along with the apple. It then settles down to a nice soft feminine floral scent with hints of vanilla and coconut.
The downside is that the sillage and longevity is poor. And the fact that it is a little pricey for a celeb fragrance. I guess you’re paying for the super cute bottle rather than the juice.
Overall a nice fruity floral that could be worn in the spring, summer or even autumn.

Is anybody else finding the lasting power of Purr terrible? I keep spraying this perfume on me all day and the scent evaporates in minutes? Unless I just can't smell it because it's on me, but noone else has noticed the scent either.. the smell is pretty but it has absolutely no lasting power on me... :(
I have to update my review... PUrr is growing on me.. I think I've made the mistake of wearing purr with other perfumes at the same time, and maybe those fumes were stronger so I never got the full effect of Purr. This one really is pretty good.. maybe its like one of those cats that take a while to warm up to you.. start off all nasty and scratching, and eventually become your best friend :) Purr truly is becoming my friend... smells pretty darn good

I was so excited to try Purr because of the adorable bottle. However, when I sprayed it on my wrist I was unpleasantly surprised. While I was expecting a peachy scent based on the reviews here, I got an artificial peach scent mixed with sweet rotten fruit. I wanted to give it a chance so I kept it on for a good 20 minutes, but it didn't evolve into anything pretty. Just artificial, sour peach and rotting fruit. I hope it's just my skin's chemistry and it smells better on others, but it's definitely a pass for me.

I had really high hopes for this fragrance. I love animals and cats in particular, so bottle is the cutest. Notes also sounded nice. However, it didn’t live up to my expectations
As soon as I sprayed it, I got hit with fruit notes-which was pleasant but not mind blowing. I confess, I thought ‘eh, another fruity scent” “yawn”. However, very short time after, it turned into sweet and creamy scent with prominent vanilla/sandalwood note. I can detect gardenia but it subtle, very subtle so its barely even there. Its quite pleasant but not what I was expecting. It also reminded me of another fragrance “The One” but D& G. Its not exactly the same but there is definite resemblance. “The One” also lasts MUCH longer. Purr’s lasting power is pretty average-couple of hours at the most. Don’t get me wrong, I think it smells nice but it just didn’t blow me away. I do LOVE the bottle though-she has a winner there.

Celebrity fragrances have a tendency to smell predictable, but I really had higher expectations of Purr.
I was anticipating something spontaneous, eccentric, psychedelic - much like Katy Perry herself.
However, this is merely another overdone fruity floral that lack personality.

It's nice, the novelty design is fun, but hardly worth buying.
Strictly for hard-core Katy Perry fans only.

Holy Peaches, Batman!!!! At first spritz, I got a hint of each and every note listed above. Now, after the dry-down, I'm "scentsing" that I'm in a dewy peach orchard in the early am hours. Great if you're a peach fanatic. I have nothing against them personally, but I do prefer a perfume that's more dimensional and full-bodied. I'll finish up my sample, but I won't buy.

After being pretty much blown away by Rihanna's first offering, I have to admit I kind of had high hopes for this fragrance from Katy Perry.

Unfortunately, it's Britney Spears' 'Radiance' in a cat-shaped bottle. An absolute scrubber on my skin.

Started out sickly sweet (and I am usually a fan of sweet scents, this one just made me gag) and within a couple of minutes, it was a horrid mush of buttery florals with no recognisable notes. It lasted a few hours, gave me a headache, and never progressed past the buttery floral stage. Very disappointing.

Sorry, Katy, but this smells exactly like you've decanted bottles of 'Radiance' into a cute bottle and slapped your name on it. I won't be giving it another try and I certainly won't be purchasing it.

Let me begin by stating: I am not a fan of Katy Perry.
Her music irritates me and and do not understand what the fuss is about her, physically.

However, I am a massive fan of both cats and perfume! I have been so excited to finally get a sample of this bottle and yesterday, it happened! I work in pharmacy and the arrived at work to see that the order had come in. The bottle is beautiful! It is a gorgeous cat!

The fragrance is just beautiful! Very fruity! I am yet to speak to somebody who has not liked it. The girls at my workplace all have different tastes in perfume; I am interested in the sweeter, 'britney-spears esque' perfumes, wheras another is a fan of Anna Sui, and another Jean Paul Gaultier. However, each of us just ADORED this scent. It is fresh and delicious! We have all been wearing the tester since we got it in.

It is hard to describe the smell without smelling it yourself, even my mother adored it and threatened to steal it! It warms beautifully on your skin and lingers wonderfully. Give it a smell! You won't regret it.

I dont really care what the perfume smells like because the only reason I bought it is for the bottle hahaha! But I love the smell. Doesnt last as long as I wouldve wanted.. 4 hours at most. It is more floral to me than fruity at first but i love the dry down because it smells delicious! I got the huge bath set with everything in it from Dillard's for 65.00. The bottle is huge so i think it's pretty worth it.

Purr is a seemingly promising tease but ended prematurely.

The start of Purr is delicious, like those biscuit with red berry jam in it, natural biscuit, without the screaming sugar. Soon after, it goes quite nice coconut-y cuddly, however, it really smell like something from Benefit, sorry I forgot which one is which one, so it’s either So Hooked on Carmella or Lookin’ to Rock Rita, for the soft coconut smell.

Just when I was thinking about maybe I should get a 30ml for the kitty bottle (yes I have a soft spot for cute things even if the real-life bottle is tacker than the one in the AD), I start to smell jasmine and a weirdly blended flower punch, something similar to the dry down of Happy Spirit by Chopard and SJP's NYC, the type of overly busy jasmine-themed-dirty(I should say slightly mis-sweetened and warmed and thus quite fuzzy-to-the-nose) flower party.

The dry down arrives rather fast (within 3 hours), and all the lovely coconut or loud flowers are gone, what I have is just a sugared water smell plus a tiny hint of something like 10 times diluted Hugo Boss Orange Sunset and a hint of CKin2U for Her Pop .

Not an original perfume at all, and if only Purr could’ve collected the nice and Wow factors from the other perfumes, it could be much better. However, sadly, what presented here is just another celebrity perfume.

I just got this today. I LOVE the cat bottle. My favorite bottle of perfume for show until now had to be Head over heels by Revlon, and Feerie by van Cleef and Arpels, but now my little cat, she is my treasured bottle. As far as the juice that is inside.. I think I was expecting more.. in the way of sillage and longevity. It didn't really last on my skin today, BUT I will say the scent is quite pretty. But there is nothing that stands out about this fragrance other then the bottle that it is in. I'd by lieing if I said I didn't think the scent is lovely, but I think your spending money more for the bottle then the juice inside. Not regretting buying this however... it's adorable, and very sweet and berrylisish

First off, what a cute bottle!!
After about 10 minutes I wanted to eat my arm!! It smells so delicious, it reminds me of marshmallows and cotton candy. The coconut really comes out on my skin, its lovely.. Its also got a hint of floral to it.
It's a nice, warm relaxing scent!

kind of a candy floral scent.
To my nose, the vanilla is wet, and that with the amber make for a sticky, gourmand base, sweetened even further by the apple and especially peach, becoming almost edible until the floral notes soften the whole fragrance but still without taking away the sticky lolly essence form the amber/vanilla base.
I dont pick up the bamboo, musk or the sandalwood, im guessing they're a background quality that has a silent effect overall.

Hmmm another uninspiring perfme I have smelled today.

The coconut is quite prominent in this perfume but really it's nothing I haven't smelled before. It smells very familiar, maybe similar to something like an Avon perfume. Or a cheap body spray or something.

Not really sure what else to write.

It's the sort of perfume that smells familiar but I wouldn't be able to pick it out if someone walked by wearing it because it could be many things.

Well I have to agree with what the others have said. All I smell is a generic apple/leafy shampoo. It is a nice clean and floral smell with a touch of tart fruit but nothing mysterious or unique. In fact if you told me to imagine a generic fragrance this is exactly what I would picture. I have a bottle because my mom thought it would be a cute gift for me and I wear it to work and school often but I never reach for this when I'm going for a night out or when I want to wear something delicious or unique. Sorry. This is just another average perfume with an above average marketing campaign. Hopefully her next one will be more interesting.

YAWNNN another 'melted sweets on the pavement' celeb scent. Took longer to develop the bottle and advertising than the smell, that's for sure!

I love Katy, I love her songs.

Especially "Firework",
inspiring and mood lifting. =)

But I guess this spirit doesn't carry along with Purr.

Honestly, the scent is quite common... Sigh...

The bottle itself is awesome though! So lovely and can be a decoration for sure.

I hope Katy will put some "Firework" spirit into the next one. =)

Starts as a shampoo I use currently. Sweet, a bit green and fruity. After a while I can clearly feel gardenia. Pretty different yet generic [again this word..] Though, I like it. Um... still, I find it too quiet and subtle for me. Like... characterless... I prefer loud white florals.

I got this today and it´s a very nice surprise! At first spray i can notice a very fresh,juicy,mouthwatering smell(the peach,the apple and the bamboo),then it become more floral a little bit powdery, i detected the gardenia and fressia,the drydown is very warm soft creamy vanilla with hints of coconut...

The bottle is very cute and lovely!

The lasting power is really good,last all day on my skin,the price is great,a good option if you are looking for a Fruity-Sweet-Yummy-Floral,it´s very easy to wear... ;)

Katy looks really sexy in the ad campaign...

I actually think this fragrance is kind of FIERCE! When I smell this I think of leopard print, a fashionista and DIVA behavior. It may not be such a unique scent but it is still very pretty.

The opening had a fresh fruity burst in which I could definitely smell the peach and apple close together. After that, it settled into a soft floral feminine scent with the notes of exotic coconut and vanilla running through it. In the dry down I could still smell the coconut & vanilla along with musk and creamy sandalwood. Such a lovely perfume, and the bottle is soooo purr-ty! I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a fierce but soft and feminine type of scent, love it!

update- lasting power is pretty much all day

update2- Was reading an Instyle magazine issue and came across a quote Katy Perry said about her fragrance= "i love how individual cats are, so I wanted to make a fragrance that smells different on everyone." So frm that I gather that I'm a pretty fierce cat and that this will definitely bring out a different personality scent in you! :)

PURR is pure fruit on first application, both the peach and the apple are mouth wateringly sweet and very life-like. On me the peach is the strongest, but the fresher apple tones down the sweetness. I don't know what makes a apple forbidden - because it was what Adam and Eve ate? Anyway the apple here is fresh but still sweet. What I think is the bamboo quickly develops: It is watery but sweet [similar to coconut water]. I can also pick up a hint of something similar to musk, but I actually think this is the bamboo too.

The bamboo note is quite strong and carries all the through the perfume, so the floral notes remain mild and a bit watery, yet still fully developed and easy to pick out. On me the jasmine and freesia are the strongest notes, whilst the soft rose adds a slightly powdery effect. In addition to the florals the coconut milk mixes with the bamboo, lending the soft florals more depth. I'd also swear that there is rhubarb present too; I'm reminded of those boiled rhubarb custard sweets you used to get at the corner shop.

As the florals burn down the coconut milk accord fully develops and becomes richer, sweeter and creamier thanks to the amber, sandalwood and ever-present bamboo. I can detect the lightest hint of musk but it's quickly lost underneath the creaminess, but I can't separate the vanilla [orchid], but everything else is sweet and creamy so I wasn't really expecting to.



PURR is richer with the fruits then it is with the florals, so the lasting power is good but not great: I can still detect creamy coconut and sandalwood three to four hours after first applying it, but it's only a hint and is close to the skin.

As this is mild and sweet it seems like a playful fragrance, so the name and advertising really do suit it. I think that this is nice for daywear - both casual wear and for work. Some people may think that it's too sweet for work, but as it's quiet it won't bother your colleagues. As it's mild and not very long lasting people may class it as too 'gentle' for evening wear, but if you don't wear perfume whilst out for a statement and to be noticed then I think PURR is perfectly adaptable. Again; The 15ml spray is great for even tiny handbags.

When I first heard about this perfume I was doubtful that something containing peach, apple and coconut would appeal to me in the current minus six climate. But the fruits are so edible and quite sweet and the base is warm, soft and creamy, so I think that the overall 'rhubarb custard' effect makes a lovely autumn/winter fragrance. Off cause - since this has just been released - I don't yet know how it will wear during spring/summer; But I'm going to guess that as the fruits are rich and the florals light it will still be very wearable.


True; PURR is never going to become a classic fragrance and the scent notes have all appeared in countless other perfumes over the years, but it is an all year round, all occasions, reasonably priced EDP that comes in a cute and unique bottle. To me that beats out the expensive, statement perfumes that make up the best-sellers list.


Ralph Lauren' Ralph, Paris Hilton for Women, several J.Lo Glow flankers, the Ed Hardy perfume range and Sarah Jessica Parker SJP NYC all use similar scent notes in the fruity/floral family, so if you enjoy any of them them then you should definitely try this.

Picking up on this one is so easy its not even funny anymore...
When I read about the fragrance in it's ad, it said something along those lines- daring, something we have never smelled before, dangerous, feminine, etc etc.


What we have though, is sickling sweet, generic celeb fragrance, in an awful kitch bottle. Smells as cheap as Katy looks in this latex outfit. Dont get me wrong, it has its charm, and it would be a fun present for a little girl who starts her journey with perfume.

I do find it pleasant enough with the rose and orchid and soft vanilla base, although the peach sometimes gives me a feeling of an ingredient of cough syrups. But the hype around it, and the fact that it is being sold as a 'unique, daring feminine frarance' when none of those elements exist when it comes to this Purr, is slightly irritating. Maybe it's because I dont like Katy's music or herself as an 'artist', but oh well, I dont think Im missing out.

Sampled it briefly at Nordstrom. It's very sweet a bit fruity but more floral. Without looking at the notes ahead of time, I could detect the orchid the gardenia and the coconut. It's nice but not groundbreaking IMO although the notes are more exotic than not. Smells like something you would find at BBW or VS. I would have thought that with her over the top image she was going to present something outrageous that people would be talking about it. In reality is a very tamed and quiet fragrance. It's great for really young girls. The bottle is different and cute if you like cats!

Very arsh perfume, almost like hair spray.
I tyed this today as it was finally available on superdrug.
Its very fresh, remind me of those floral frutys from the 90', but the fruits in here are very plastic and annoying. Reminds me of JLO perfumes.
Its good for summer, if you dont want to think mutch about what you are going to putt on, but its nothing special and for the price you can have mutch better and cheaper.
The bootle is nice, but this perfume is not purple at all, I would say is a electric green, as the scent is very aquatic.
I'm not impressed, but I wasnt expecting nothing extraordinary from Katy Perry anyway :S

Sillage: Good
Staying Power: Good, last all day

Purr started out alright when it hit my skin... it was a pleasant apple/peach, shampoo-like scent that I probably wouldn't have bought, but was nice and girly. Then the peach became stronger and soon it was the only note I could detect, making the scent smell very cheap. As time went on, the fruitiness started to smell... funny. I don't know what it was about the base notes, but they sort of smelled a tad bit like body odor. Not good. Still of fan of Katy's music, just not her perfume.

Both my mother and I sampled this fragrance today. My mother thought it smelled very familiar and I took a couple sniffs and realized it's very similar to the Gardenia Lily line from Bath and Body Works, which my mother has. There's brief fruitiness in the top notes, then it's pretty much all floral. The base notes were nearly undetectable on me, I didn't get coconut or vanilla. I'm not sure the target market for this fragrance wants to smell so flowery- I notice a lot of reviewers interpret that as "mature".

It's not bad by any means, but I hardly find it unique, and I already have a perfume for a gardenia fix.

Two additional observations:
- it lasts at least several hours on me
- the bottle looked and felt like a toy.

I sampled this one 2nite @ Nordstroms and I have 2 say I was a lil disappointed... While it wasnt horrible, it smelled average at best, nothing groundbreaking or new... Looking at the notes, I'm sure if I mix together a concoction of Forbidden Rose(for its apple note), Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia(duh, lol),Fancy Love note(for its creamy peach note) and XOXO Heartbeat(for its bulgartan rose an vanilla notes) I would come up w/ sumthing that smells very similar... Cutest bottle though...Wouldnt mind buying a bottle at a deep discount lol...

This smells NOTHING like Luv@1stglow!

When you first spray it it' a beautiful sweet smell but five minutes later it fades. It stays a little sweet but it turns a little more mature. Can't WAIT to get my bottle next month! I hope it comes at the end of the year.

Oh, and you can see the BEAUTIFUL bottle on The Fragrance Foundation
