Killer Queen Oh So Sheer

After "Meow" this is my favourite Katy Perry perfume. I feel like this is what they were trying to achieve with "Killer Queen" but it didn't quite work out then. In this scent you really get a delicious combination of berries and plum with the praliné, so it's like a berry-gourmand in my opinion. Despite the name, this is not a "sheer" scent, this is still a strong perfume that lasts a long time but it's not quite as heavy as its original version. I feel it's probably because the patchouli is a bit softer here, but still strong enough to give the fragance some character. Even though it's a yummy perfume, I don't get any "creaminess" from the caramel, so it's not a very strong note here, although it might add to the gourmand feeling of it, this one is still all about the praliné, this time with berries that, unlike with "Killer Queen", I can actually detect A LOT. Another problem I had with the original one was that shortly after I sprayed it, I couldn't smell it AT ALL on me (even though other people could), so I could only smell it through my clothes, because it stayed on my clothes for days, while this one I can really smell on me throughout the day (and it also stays on my clothes). In conclusion, this is a festival of praliné and berries, fruity and sweet, not very sheer, but absolutely delicious, and much better blended than its first edition.

I really love this scent. Although, I'm a little upset with Katy Perry for releasing 2 perfumes in the same year. (I'm not made of money, you know!) I like this a little better than the original Killer Queen. My main complaint about Killer Queen is the headache I get if I use just a little too much, and I don't get that at all with Oh So Sheer. This is soft and delicate, while the original is heavy and strong. I don't really get the comparison with the original. It's more like they're in the same family, not fraternal twins. This is perfect for spring, while the original is perfect for fall. However, I don't like this bottle as much as the original Killer Queen. I would like it as much, maybe more, if the bottle was purple instead of just the liquid. I'm going to be upset when it's gone and I have an empty clear bottle. I found it cheap on Amazon, so hopefully it stays in stock at a good price by the time I run out. I don't want to be stuck with a boring clear bottle.

love it, but not wow for me, like KQ original, it so WOW for me. this one is almost similar with original KQ, but more light soft fresh crisp version and of course yummy for me, can't deny it. but i more prefer Killer Queen, cause it more deep rich darker and i love it so much, i love this too but this goes second after killer queen. projection always average, longevity also long time 12hours on me. the only bad thing is the bottle is clear and liquid has color, if run out of liquid inside of it, the bottle will not stunning and great looking like before you saw it first time. i'm so sad to use it because the beauty color will be fade away. ohh noo , :( so i must have restock of its for display in my collection. and hope its will not too late, before its gone forever and never comeback. anyway i rate this for all aspect 8/10. love it but not perfect enough for me. not WOW me like KQ.

I tried a sample of this while I was strolling inside the department store yesterday, checking out designer brands for any wearable berry fragrances and waiting for their drydowns. I remember spritzing this on my left arm and wow. While everything else turned sour on me--- this one was sweet. Tart sweet. I could easily pick up the wild berries and plum which later turned into something familiar-- similar to the drydown of Shalimar Cologne EDT on my skin-- like a powdery yogurt. For some reason the tart plum/berries combination reminds me of the fruity aspect of Poison. Wearable during day and night. Stayed on my skin for 4-6 hours. Silage isn't that good enough. Maybe so-so. Safe and yummy to wear at school and work.

Wow! Sweet, juicy... the plum and berry comes though. I really love this. Got a tiny pour bottle, might have to invest in a full size if I can find one resonably priced. This is the “purple” one. The pink one, spring reign, is outrageously overpriced on ebay. This one, not so much. I prefer this over the original killer queen. It has the same DNA, it really is Killer Queen but, sweeter, juicier, girlier, more palatable fruitchouli. If you are a fruity floral, gourmand lover, go for this one over the original. It does have sort of an air freshner note to it (lol). Like floral dryer sheets (this is not a bad thing).

Personally, I love this one so much more than the original, and I love the original more than most fragrances! This has to be my second most favorite fragrance I have ever had bless my nostrils! It's love in a bottle for me! When you first spray it you get all those berries, and delicious fruits! It's beautiful! It captivates you those first few seconds that it lands on your skin! It sends me straight to heaven! The bottle this time is so much more beautiful too! I love how the bottle is clear and the liquid is a pale lilac color! It's just beautiful! Just go get yourself a bottle now! :p

I was not expecting to like this at all! I've had this in my collection for 11 years and finally pulled it out to wear today. This is LOVELY. It's light, but not a clean or floral freshie. It's gourmand but not heavy or headache inducing at all. It opens with the plum and sweet freesia and the drydown is all caramel, cashmere and praline. Delicious. I've had it on for about 5-6 hours now and it's still going strong. Impossible to find these days but well worth picking up if you can find it for a good price.

Such a lovely scent. Very fruity and sweet without being overbearing to the senses. Like what everyone else has been saying, it doesn't last long. Maybe 4 hours at most for me. Even then, the drydown is extremely light and barely noticible. I would just reapply it but unfortunately its a limited edition EDP and I don't want to use It all. The juice is a vivid lavender color in a gorgeous clear glass bottle. Im considering buying a second bottle and use that while keeping the other as a collectors piece :p

I feel like it's been said before but this definitely feels like a lighter version of Killer Queen. I love Killer Queen too but I feel like the patchouli note can be a little much for me (but I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of it usually so I feel like I pick up on it more). I would say if you're on the fence between this one and Killer Queen, I'd go with this one unless you're looking for a heavier/more patchouli scent. I'd rate this a 7/10. It's good but not my absolute favorite.

I adore this! It's so light and delicious, like a sweet berry cocktail. I love the original Killer Queen, but some people found it to be a little strong; this is the lighter alternative. Like lots of people are saying though, the longevity and sillage are a bit of a weak mess. It's not particularly pricey though, and it's quite portable, so it's easy to reapply throughout the day.

This is such a gorgeous perfume! It's a lighter, sweeter, fruitier more floral version of the original. Very pleasant fragrance! I have the original also which I love & both are very similar, but I love this one even more! :) It's definitely up there on my favs list! If anyone's wondering, the bottle is clear, & the liquid is a beautiful pale purple/lilac colour :)

Although this limited edition is a lot like the first one but it is probably a more fruity version of Killer Queen. Extra berries sweetness and for sure a spring season fragrance. But also kind of warmth smelling for summer. I'm sure this one is a day time scent. Patchouli is reduced a little in Oh So Sheer than the original one.

how long does this last and how heavy is it on the sillage.. cuz im in love with killer queen so im waiting for mines in the mail. should be coming next monday 2014 MARCH 24. cannot wait for it cuz it may be my signature. but i am thinking of getting my hands on this one too!

This is beautiful, the initial blast of berry notes, the caramel note on dry down it is very light, perfect for spring/summer, it is similar to killer queen original, but I actually prefer this version, only downside is that it's limited edition.

This is my 2nd favorite scent by in the killer queen collection. It's kind of like a lilac shade and that's my favorite color! About the scent it is a lot of spring florals and the woodsy drydown makes the scent really smooth and almost musky.

Bought this in 100ml today. A spring time version of the original. I love the colour of the bottle. Disappointed that there is no stand for the bottle, however, it still looks good on my shelf. x

I love this more than the original. but the only con i have about this is that its not as long lasting. It last maybe two hours on my skin. I don't mind re applying it. And I love the bottle

I really love this scent. I think this is even better than original Killer Queen. But on my skin this doesn't last for long, which is a shame because I really do love this scent.

I just received this today in the mail from Macy's. I really enjoy this scent! It is similar to the original, but I agree with the other reviews that it's a bit fruitier.

saw it for the first time today at macys and it was love at first sight, love at first smell. definately worth the 64 bucks i paid for.

It's actually lighter and airy version of Killer Queen. and it give me a Sheer nauseas feel... because I sprayed like 5x.

Omg love it. So fruity and sweet. I smell notes of berries in there. Perfect daytime scent. Highly recommend

Smells like a sweeter, softer version of Killer Queen. I love it!

they just took OFF a bit of PRALINE so the Berries can flourish.

Got it yesterday, a fruiter summer version of the original x

Just like the original, different bottle.

The most excellent Katy Perry fragrance. Initially, the packaging is of moderate quality (The emblem over the lid is extremely fragile and delicate. The fragrance itself is the show of the perfume (well obvi) It starts with both bursts of the caramel and the berries which are the dominant note along with praline. (This makes Oh So Sheer the fruitiest of the Killer Queen flankers, OG KQ being the sweetest, KQ SR as the most floral and last but not least RR white floral. The fragrance is a bit too similar to Killer Queen with a fruity touch to it. It's kind of like a much fruity watered down of Killer Queen (In justice KQ was kind of overpowering this one doesn't) I would recommend this for the noses with sweet teeth on it (idek) definitely personally for me better than Killer Queen though I still like the latter for it's longevity for me. Speaking of which KQ OSS (at least my own bottle) has the longevity of approximately at least 3 hours the scent doesn't really linger in my skin for a long time. The projection is pretty weak too which results me using the fragrance very often the most with my Daisy edt too (Which is a bit of a let down unfortunately) So over-all, This is my VERDICT: Packaging (Box) - 6.5/10 (kindah meh couldve been better) (Bottle) - 7/10 (convenience gave me a stand +1) Scent - 8/10 (It stood it's ground on my collection of fragrances but sadly it's not my fav.) (Longevity - 4/10) (Intensity - 5/10) So in complete rating: 8/10 Thank You so much for reading this review I enjoyed it bye.

I found this fragrance in Superdrug in the UK, the 100ml is only £20! So I blind bought instinctivly as I adore the original queen. I had obviously known that this fragrance was being released so I kind of knew what I was expecting. This opens up almost exactly like the original, its just that this one really focuses on the fruits and I also get a lot of the caramel. I dont like caramel in fragrances, I think it makes them smell cheap, and that is no exception with this one, the fact that praline is already in this fragrance, I would've thought that would be enough! But it does have this kind of cheap smell, but that only lasts for about 5 minutes. After that, it is just a lighter version of the original Killer queen. The bottle for this fragrance is exactly the same but the bottle is clear opposed to the red of the original. Its a clear glass with a beautiful purple liquid. I love this bottle a lot, I much prefer the colour scheme to the original. The only problem with this scent is that it just does not last! It only lasts about 2 hours on me, so this is VERY disapointing. This fragrance is blatently meant for the hotter months. Overall, its a nice smell, starts off pretty cheap smelling but then it develops into a lighter variation of the origina Killer Queen. I'm happy I bought a botte of this for me and my mum, so I will return my mum's and give her mine. It doesn't excite me too much.

Oh So Sheer opens with a berry-type accord. Also like the original, there is a mixture of plum and patchouli that develops with the berries and carries all the way through to the base of the fragrance - although the patchouli is much lighter then it is in Killer Queen. The fruit notes are also softer compared to the original, and less sugary sweet. The heart is exactly like it is in Killer Queen; except for the jasmine, I am not able to separate any floral notes from the sweetly powdered floral jumble heart of the fragrance, as the praline develops nd mixes with the weak patchouli & watery plum, smothering the floral notes on me. There is no strong indication between the heart notes and the base, thanks to the constant presence of the watery fruits, praline, and weak patchouli. As this is a flanker that follows the original perfume very closely, my overall opinion of Oh So Sheer is the same as it is for the original Killer Queen; I think that is a pleasant and easy to wear perfume, but it is not anything to get excited about as there is nothing about it that hasn't been done many times before. Kat Von D's Saint reminds me of Oh So Sheer a bit, minus the coconut. Years ago I had a gift box of different Victoria's Secret perfume vials, and this is triggering a memory of one of them. It's going to drive me mad now, trying to remember which one... Maybe Love Rocks?

First of all, can we just take a minute to appreciate how pretty the bottle looks :3. It's such a good one for a celeb scent and I don't think the cap is that cheap as someone said. Back to the fume, the opening smells like a bunch of purple-ish berries, which is quite similiar to the original one, but less deep and more fruity. The fluffy berry scent holds on to the ending. I don't smell too much of patchouli in this actually. It's a very soft fruity scent from the opening till the end. It has less edge than the original one but it's of course more wearable and suitable for warmer weather. Something in the drydown of the original one puts me off (i can't quite figure it out :@ but i am guessing the excessive praline of it). BTW, as a big fan of the band Queen, I had always felt like i need to own this XD and the name doesn't sound tacky at all to me of course, it's awesome :D

Sweet and inoffensive perfume. I don't find it that similar to Killer Queen and - on me - it doesn't have the original's longevity or sillage. Oh So Sheer is far more like an EDT than EDP, in my opinion. Initially very fruity, with moderate sillage; the fruitiness dissipates quickly, leaving what feels like a warm memory of musky fruit. I sprayed at about 6am and the scent had dried down within 30 minutes to the musky fruit memory. It is a skin scent on me within an hour and had completely disappeared by 9am, although it does last longer when sprayed on clothing. It isn't expensive and I like it enough to not mind frequent reapplication. I find the bottle infuriating to store, though - it takes up far too much room, laying on its side in my increasingly overstuffed perfume cupboard. This is a safe blind buy if you like gentle fruity scents.

I think this is better than the original Killer Queen. It has less Patchouli. I think Killer Queen is meant for night time, and Killer Queen Oh so Sheer is meant for the daytime. They do smell almost exactly the same, but Oh so Sheer is lighter, and more crisper, and spicier than the original Killer Queen. If you don't like Patchouli that much, and wanted to like the original Killer Queen, Oh so Sheer is for you. I'm a big fan of Katy Perry fragrances, because she is creative with her scents. Meow is one of my favorite 5 perfumes, and I've over 150 perfumes. Oh So Sheer is sure to make my top 10. Killer Queen is the only perfume that I like that has patchouli in it. Katy Perry pulls it off just right. I really can't wait to see what perfume she comes out with next. Overall I give this fragrance a 8/10.

Well I was super excited to try this and purchased it today. It has a hint of the original Killer Queen just not as spicy. To be honest I prefer this over killer queen and I really like killer queen original because of that sweet fruity smell that is perfectly mixed with the spice. This rather then be as spicy/fruity. It is more fruity/floral and the spice is now the base note. Dry down is 100% opposite of the original. It's clearer cleaner and more subtle. Aka "sheer" I see this being more of a morning/daytime wear scent will deff wear well in warmer weather. Killer queen is more of a evening night scent and an rest heavy in the day but still be pleasant. So. This is a great alternative. I'm very pleased with it!

I love Killer Queen so I was excited to test this! It smells very similar to the original, except it has less patchouli, more emphasis on the fruits and sadly I couldn't detect any caramel. It is sweet, fruity and light. A nice summer scent however I won't be purchasing until my original Killer Queen is used up as they are too similar. Overall, a summer version of Killer Queen, that is fruity, sweet and airy. I can't help but feel that KP's team could of come up with something a bit more original. I'd like to add that the 100ml light purple bottle is gorgeous in real life!

As so many have already said, this is very similar to the original Killer Queen, but a bit softer. I like the original, but for me it's dangerously close to migraine territory, the Oh So Sheer is more tolerable. Juicy dark berries, creamy frangipani and sweet praline and caramel, balanced by a slightly rough patchouli undertone. Without the patchouli this would be like wearing syrup, toothache inducingly sweet (like Beyonce Pulse NYC, yuck!), but this one has a good balance. Nice bottle, the cap is a bit plasticky but the overall impression is good.

A lighter version of the original Killer Queen and smells better IMO. Since it has been discontinued since long time ago, I rarely use this one and now the cap has rust. It opens up with a fresh-fruity scent from the berries and blackcurrant and I got a lil bit of bergamot scent to it, I don't know. After a while, it turns into a sweet scent mixed with a hint of light floral scent. It dries down into a sweet-musky scent on me. It last for about 3 hours on me. Definitely love this one better than the original Killer Queen.

I really like this until it gets to the end. The opening is a really great fruity scent. The middle is a great fruity floral, but then something in the end comes out as off. I'm guessing it's the patchouli that finally shows. Patchouli doesn't mesh well on me so it's the only thing I can think of that would produce that 'off' smell. It almost kind of ruins it but the initial and middle last for a while so I can't decide. Ugh, dang you patchouli!

It wasn't really my instant love when I first smell it, but the more I wear the more I am craving for it! It's quite different than the rest of my fragrances collection - which mainly celebrity fragrances - but it is lovely. Overall it's an interesting combo of: Juicy berries (it smells much better when your nose is close to where the fragrance sprayed on) + light caramel cream + bitter but acceptable level of patchouli.

This scent is really good. Sweet, delicious everyday scent with black currants, berries and plums. I was already considering buying this one, but then I noticed that it faded away quickly. After an hour the sillage was very soft and there was very little sweetness left. What a pity! It's a great scent, great price and very bad longevity! I guess you can't have it all...

I really enjoy this one... While it lasts... Unfortunately it's staying power isn't the best :( Oh so Sheer smells pretty much the same as KQ. Both have yummy purple fruits, berries and plum and sweet patchouli. KQ leaves a lovely trail of pralines on my skin whereas Oh so Sheer leaves a caramel trail. It's subtle, but it's there.

I really really want to try this! I was so let down with how basic "Killer Queen" and how familiar to other scents it smelled. This bottle color is beautiful and this may make a great floral scent. Hoping won't smell like Pulse Summertime by Beyoncé. Would love to add another Katy Fragrance to my collection.

A blind buy Christmas request for me on this one - asked for it without having smelt it! Glad I did as I actually really like it! I would say this is sweeter than Royal Revolution from the Killer Queen range and I can smell the berries and praline in the top notes. Really looking forward to wearing this :)

This is not similar too Killer Queen - not at all. This is lighter and just different but not necessarily in a bad way. They both smell good but Kille Queen is more intense and strong. I didn't recognize any specific notes but it were sweet, floral and very mild/soft. Not bad but not special

i just bought this today , when i first initialy spray , it smelled almost like a man fresh citrus cologne . *light version . after its settle down on my skin , it smell more lighter and fruiter and ended up like a less hammered head of the original .. anyway , i enjoyed :)

Was rooting through some old stuff and found this from when I was a little girl. I sprayed some and was instantly fumed by nostalgia. I used to wear this all the time whilst going to school. The scent itself is very nice, great for those who love fruity smells

Similar to the original, but it's weaker so even though I own it I would rather have the red bottle again. Minus points are deifintely longevity and sillage, cause they're really weak. Otherwise it's a nice girly perfume.

I really like this scent because its fruiter than the original killer queen and not as overwhelming. Unfornately, the lasting power for this perfume is really bad and I can barely smell it after an hour :/

It is exactly like the original but a little bit lighter! Preferable for the spring and summer whereas the original would be great for autumn and winter seasons. Very nice.

I bought this perfume for my daughter, it seems to me that it is for children, she loves it very much, but for an adult, I do not recommend it, the fragrance is too simple

This was a blind buy as no shops around here actually stock it. I actually think it's a bit like a Killer Queen/Royal Revolution hybrid. I love it!!
