Purr

Yum! Beautiful combination of floral and fruity. White florals add a mature touch to this scent. If this wasn’t in a kitty bottle, it would have gone triple platinum across boujee millennials with shag haircuts and patchwork tattoos that work at a hair salon. But obviously, since it's in a cat bottle, it is for me and me only. I do need to douse myself in this, but I really don’t mind because that's part of the fun. Major dent in the bottle since I got it a few days ago though. My nose has gotten so used to it that I really need to dig my nose into my wrist and SNIFF. Everyone else seems to smell it though. Most of the negative comments say, "It smells like shampoo! It smells too juvenile! It smells cheap!" I looked at those and thought to myself, "perfect." and immediately bought it. This really isn’t too fruity. It's certainly reminiscent of the early 2010's, but it's surprisingly mature for being marketed towards a younger audience. Sillage radiates within 6 feet or so, and the longevity is pretty good, I’d say 5 hours or so. Would need minor reapplication though. It can be pretty cloying if you spray too much, so spray more than you would for a better quality perfume, but not *too* much. A major role in my fragrance selecting process is thinking, "What does this fragrance remind me of?" Something that was a big thing in my childhood was bath time. All kids shampoo and bath products have their own distinct, nostalgic smell. Some smell like straight up apple and they're pretty linear, but it's hard to find other things that match the complexity of, say, Johnson's baby products. This has that complexity without being too childish. It's fitting for a teenager in the 2010's. Nowadays, all teenage girls crave vanilla perfumes. I love a good vanilla perfume, but it isn’t who I am. I’m not simple, but I’d say I’m a crowd pleaser. The only people who judge me are people who are too "normal" and insecure about how many people there are in the world that act just like they do. I have an unsuspecting complex mind, coupled with a deep sense of nostalgia. My memory is an incredibly valuable thing for me, and this brings back some nostalgia for me. It smells fresh, clean, and fruity. Not too sugary and sweet.

"Gardenia Noire" magic! This violet-gardenia beauty opens with a burst of sweet fruity-coconut and dries down into a creamy gardenia scent. The mix of fruit overlaying the gardenia strongly gives an overall impression of violet to my nose. Hearkens to mind the black and white film, 'The Mask of Zoro' from 1940 set in Nueva California with Tyrone Powers and Linda Darnell. This is the scent I imagine Linda Darnell would have worn with velvety gardenias in her hair - the romantic counterpoint to the Black Dahlia. Comparison to Meow Katy Perry: These are twins in a way, with Purr being the violet-gardenia (Gardenia Noire), and Meow being the orange blossom/citrus-gardenia (Gardenia Blanche). Also, Meow is a little sweeter and a little more powdery marshmallow to my nose. Comparison to Yara Lattafa: These are different scents, but comparable. Yara has been compared to a 'strawberry milkshake', and Purr would be the violet milkshake by comparison. 'Milkshake' may be a bit misleading however, although the gardenia gives a creaminess this is more a heady floral than gourmand, with a faint sun-tan vibe from the gardenia-coconut. Comparison to Pink Brilliance English Laundry: These are different scents again, but comparable. Pink Brilliance having more rose than violet overlaying the creamy gardenia. Overall: above average performance from one week after first sprays. This isn't a scent you need to spray and store for 6 months although in the first few sprays/week I couldn't smell much other than the fruity opening. Great value.

A vanilla fruity floral which to my untrained nose, smells like 'Vanilla Coke a Cola' (Dr pepper, Coke, Pepsi) with a hint of 'Sarsaparilla'. Not overly sweet, nor sparkly or effervescent but smooth, creamy, vanillic and slightly fluffy as if the soda had gone flat and a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream had been added. Which is strangely comforting to me because as children, my sister and I would add a little 'Coke a Cola' to tall glasses and top them up with vanilla ice-cream. We'd continually sip down the cola and keep adding more and more ice-cream until there was more ice-cream than soda in our glasses. I'm indifferent to Katy Perry, I gravitated towards the bottle because I love cats. And I don't care if it's considered juvenile and aimed at a teen market, I simply love the juice! So much so, when I discovered it was being discontinued, I purchased backups and a bottle of its sister fragrance Meow just for keeps as it smells pleasant enough. Overall, a quick and easy grab and go with casual wear, running errands, gym, walking my dogs etc. And where I live in Australia, can be worn wear year-round. It's completely inoffensive and SO cheap I don't mind at all having to respray if necessary. And I'm not fussed about lack of silage as I wear this scent purely for my own enjoyment :)

I got another one of these bottles and you know what I still love this and i'm getting another Meow...this smells in the opening of fresh citrus with gardenia, peach, and musk and then as it gets from tops to mids you smell the bamboo, apple and rose. Eventually it goes to the bottom notes and you get this lovely vanilla like slight pudding vanilla or fuzzy vanilla with the bamboo, fruits and coconuts..i love this one.. because it smells so unique and different with the bamboo...i'm not much into fruity fragrances unless they are done right..and in this case this one is simple but done very right and it's girly, youthful and fun. The bottle is so beautiful..one of my favorites and the meow even more but the purple cat looks so fancy..oh I love it..my only grip is it doesn't really last long probably 3-4 hours and sometimes pushing 5-6 hours but you can always respray. Purr is unique enough for me to own as a collector and very affordable..i don't think there has been one collector who hasn't owned this at least at one point in their life..if not then then Meow certainly...Your daughter will love this too..i'm eventually getting my daughter another one again cause she wants one..it brings smiles on your face and if it does that and smells good i'm more than satisfied..

Purr is a great fragrance, much more sophisticated and complicated that the cat bottle implies. On first spray it is a bit strong, it screams PERFUME to my nose. After about a minute it settles down and I get tons of lovely fruit with soft florals and a bit of sweetness to match the fruits. It's enveloped in a creamy musky soft layer that I find very relaxing. Over time it fades but it remains a lovely soft sweet musky floral scent. I wear this to bed and I can still smell it 8 hours later. It lasts longer on skin than on paper for me. I have trouble picking out individual notes for this. It has some old-fashioned floral perfume notes and some modern fruity sweet notes. If you're a fan of some particular note like coconut or apple or whatever this might not scratch your itch. When I first tried it I thought it was a bit weird, it didn't grab me. After smelling the full dry-down I was more interested. Trying it on skin convinced me I liked it. This one is quite different to Katy Perry Meow. I would not expect to like this one just because you like Meow. I personally find Meow inoffensive but boring, more the typical celebrity perfume scent.

This used to only work on me in cold weather. I used up my whole fb this winter trying to get to the ooak beauty i knew it was. Well i bought a new fb and decided to try it now in warmer weather and it is back to its beautiful self once again! This is one of my absolute faves of all time! Its in my top 5. Its a juicy sweet sultry blend of florals fruits and creamy musk. It projects well and the sillage is light but its there. Im over the moon in love with life when im wearing this because the fragrance is so very well done, i just cant say enough to explain how truly beautiful this perfume is. Its in mytop 5 and ill never be without a bottle of this. I wish i could find a dry oil of purr with matching body powder but i dont see any of the oil makers carrying this and its hard enough finding the purr lotion. This is a star fragrance, makes me happy to be alive just to experience this lovely enchanting fragrance. Mmm its delicious and delightful! Its the floral sweetness too not the sickly trying too hard to be sweet kind. Most perfumes smell horrible on me so when i find one that works i am thrilled to tell everyone!

Purr is a nicely-blended, fruity-floral treat! A little peachy, a little coconutty, and deliciously sweet, with a lot of gardenia and a hint of something green. Both the sillage and longevity are pretty decent, especially for something so cute and inexpensive. I used to prefer Meow back when these were new, since it smells more dessert-like, but Purr has really grown on me over the years. And the thing that I absolutely love about it, aside from the delightfully purple kitty bottle, is that it smells nice with sunscreen. You'd think that wouldn't matter, but it does to me - I'm the kind of person who can't be without sunscreen in the summer sun for more than 5 minutes before the burn starts. But I still want to be outside when it's warm! So while I want to spritz on some perfume that matches the weather (don't we all?), I also have to wear sunscreen so I don't roast. I'm thinking it must be due to the coconut in the base, because mixing Purr with sunscreen creates this wonderful scent that, to me, perfectly embodies a joyful summer day. Or spring - it's perfect then, too!

This was my signature for six years and it probably still would have been, but learning of its discontinuation forced me to start looking for another cat-themed fragrance to love. Although I ended up finding several (finally and belatedly getting around to trying and falling in love with Meow as well in the process!), I can't help but still adore the one that restarted me on my perfume journey. Purr doesn't seem to get as much love as Meow does, since it leans so much more strongly floral than gourmand, but I still can't get enough of the lush gardenia and jasmine bouquet it features. That white floral heart is flavored with peach and vanilla, dusted with sweet powder, and topped off with a light sprinkle of coconut shavings. An easy-to-wear, any-occasion, pretty and inoffensive feminine scent. It was never intended to win any awards for originality or singularity. It was meant to make people happy with its cute name and bottle and light, fresh fragrance. It does that for me very well.

on first spray it smells like acrylic paint, but this is such a beautiful fragrance nonetheless. you have to patient with this one and let it evolve on your skin. it goes from fresh fruity floral to coconutty, deep sultriness. kind of like a vanilla shampoo-flavored cake (if that makes sense lol). so cozy and warm, but fresh at the same time... i don't know how they achieved this, but they did. not extravagant nor hyper-unique, but a very beautiful scent that's suitable for all ages. update: i am seriously considering ordering backups lol. this stuff is amazing. so so so good. although i did blind buy it i dont necessarily recommend you do so as it's very particular, i'm lucky i love it as much as i do. but if you love sweet warm fruity scents that aren't TOO sweet, this is most definitely for you.

This scent will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first perfume I ever received. my dad bought it for me when I was 7 years old and the scent of this is magical to me for that reason, so I will try to be as non-biased as I can be. This is very fruity and dare I say aquatic? I think that yes, this is sweet, with a 'celebrity fragrance' core, making it smell like a lot of other perfumes while still holding its own. It's very inoffensive but not as good as meow if I'm being honest. I love this fragrance personally and can smell vanilla and sweetness and fruits and florals, but you must try this for yourself. the sillage in this is good as well as longevity, especially when this was only 20 dollars AUD. the bottle is SO CUTE and looks so cute on my shelf next to meow!

This is my absolute favorite, affordable, everyday perfume! I love the softness the sandalwood and musk bring to this. It’s definitely a little sharp when first sprayed but after like 10 seconds I start to get the sweetness of the peach and apple mixed with the floral jasmine and freesia. The spiciness and powdery note of the sandalwood is evident from start to finish but it really comes through after it starts to dry down. For me this lasts all day on my skin and especially on my clothes. It’s a solid everyday, signature scent. I have to over spray a bit to get it to project like I want, but because it’s so cheap I truly don’t mind! This is one I will always have in my collection!

Purr is elegant and soft, definitely not a strong or overpowering. I’d even call it quiet, but in a very intentional, pleasant way. This is the kind of perfume that stays close to the skin and never overwhelms, making it an incredibly safe choice for almost any situation. It opens with a gentle, fruity, sugary plum note, even though I know it’s technically peach. It has that same smooth, slightly juicy feel. The floral aspect is present but very light, more of a soft backdrop than a bouquet. Overall, it’s refined, understated, and easy to wear. If you’re looking for something delicate, versatile, and quietly pretty, Purr fits that role beautifully.

OMFG my preconceptions about this perfume could not have been more wrong! 😳😳😳 I bought this thinking it's a teenage scent and it'll be a synthetic, boozey-fruit, too sweet, generic perfume but HOOOOLLLLLLY SHEET! This is boozey at first sniff yes but then it immediately evolves into a photorealistic Jasmine forward floral masterpiece! With a wisp of a caramel-like undertone, this perfume is effing goooood! Easily a daily scent, flirtatious and sophisticated in spite of the newness of this batch. Can you imagine how good this will be next year? 8/10 This could be my last perfume purchase and I wouldn't lament. ♥️👍 But it fades so fast

The opening of this was so horrible I thought I got a bad bottle. But then after awhile, I started smelling the sweet soft beautiful notes and it was a huge relief because I don’t like wasting money on blind buys. Well, I already told myself that irregardless of the juice, i’d still buy this for the bottle alone which is freaking cute! Now I have to get Meow so they will look cute together side by side. There is something about this scent that is addicting, i’m just not sure which note is it or it must be the blend itself. The vanilla and coconut here smells creamy and delicious!

I bought it recently because the notes and for the cute kitty shape bottle!(I just Love to collect cute perfume Bottles🐱💖🥹),The kitty head is very fit and don't fall from the bottle like I watched in the past reviews ,so that's very nice! About the perfume at first is fruity of peach and minutes after gets vanilla scent ,It will be last longer If is layered with other Perfume,like lattafa Yara moi, So is good to be as layering,the dry down Hours after smell is like a vanilla with fruity peach with a bit floral shampoo , but again,If is layered gets better; 10/10🐱💖.

My aunt showed me this perfume some days ago and I had to run to the store to get the 75ml flask (That's incredibly cute!) Dears, on my skin it smells just like Ídole AURA! I couldn't believe it!! it got the signature of a super expensive fragance that I personally love. This perfume gives away a vintage feeling for me, powdery but not heavy! It smells fresh and clean, while adding to the scent of flowers. I can't describe it properly-If I close my eyes it feels like I'm standing in the middle of a garden. Super soft and welcoming I Recommend it 100%!

This is my happy fragrance. I love cats, and Katy Perry was the female singer of my teenage years(along with Avril Lavigne, Rihanna and Lady Gaga). Anyways, it has that fruity punch with a hint of vanilla. Whenever I want to feel lively, I wear this fragrance. It's suitable for every season, but I think fruity scents are best for summer (but can be used in the exceptional hot days of spring and fall). It's a pity that it was discontinued. At least, I found that Egeo Bomb Purple from O Boticario is very similar (like 95%). I hope I helped y'all.

A gift. Yeah thanks. First spray reminds me of the floral bouquet perfumes my Mum used to wear when I was a child. Its a nice medium floral, with no rudeness or assault on your senses. Dry down is a pleasant surprise of gardenias, jasmine and orchid. The backbone is vanilla. It sits softly in the background providing strength. Silage is low, but longevity was ok. Bottle is a delight. Reminds me of the 60s mod trend. (No, I wasn't alive then!!!! I'm not THAT old.) Pleasure to have in my collection. Will probably wear it on a summer evening out.

I love this perfume so much. It was the first perfume I ever owned: I got it for christmas when I was 9 or 10 and I wore it to every special occasion: birthdays, christmas parties, distant relatives weddings. I treasured it so much that 12 years later the bottle is still half full! It's such a sweet perfect scent and so nostalgic to me. I know it's objectively not that special but I will never be able to take criticism on it because it means so much to me. It doesn't last at all though haha. Even back then it was gone within half an hour.

This fragrance is good year round. But its February and purr is now heavenly! The coconut comes out in this super cold middle of winter weather and it dances beautifully with the fruits and florals and lasts hours and wafts and envelops you all around... Ohhh ahhhh its so so soooo gooood! Its juicy, sweet, sexy, intoxicating... I love this! Every time i think its a so so fragrance i just put it away and let the molecules readjust to the minnesota weather and after awhile the magic is back!
