The first thing you observe when you unwrap Katy Perry Purr Perfume is the quality of the packaging. The slick, patriarch purple, glass bottle is almost electric, and glistens like a stained glass window. The design takes the shape of a cat, and the almond formed jewelled eyes shine. The feline imagery was down to Katy herself. If you didn't already know that Ms Perry is all about seduction, confidence and playfulness, you would by looking at this bottle. This is her first perfume; and by all accounts she was closely involved with its development. She captured the essence of her personality in this scent with the help of Firmenich perfumes. As Katy Perry herself says; 'Purr is a natural extension of who I am as a woman'. There is a lot of humour around Katy and her Katy Perry perfume line. The advertising poster shows her playing with a large ball of wool. She has a Masquerade design mask resting on her. Her jet stilettos match her hair, she is wearing a pink and purple latex catsuit and you can't take your eyes off her. This is standard of the fashion photographer Miles Aldridge. He has a reputation for vibrant, beautiful, images of girls. Sometimes his subjects look like sexy dolls. Always eye-catching, always fabulous, a perfect fit for Perry. Putting the powerful imagery aside for a while, what of the scent itself? Again Katy Perry Purr Perfume doesn’t disappoint. Women who know their perfumes (that’s most of us), know that a quality perfume has several 'levels'. When first applied to warm skin, an immediate perfume is given off. After wearing it for a while you discover the background tones. By the end of the day, another 'layer' can be detected as the layers come off. The immediate tones are ones of contemporary citrus. After that, but still in the foreground are the smells of peach nectar and forbidden apple with green bamboo. You imagine you are on a far flung beech, with the tropical forest behind you. As you lay there the background smells of jasmine blossom, pink freesia and Bulgarian rose are carried past you. This delicate bouquet is then balanced by vanilla orchid, bright white amber, creamy sandalwood and musk. The best thing about this Katy Perry perfume is that it’s a scent you could wear daily. Some of the more potent perfumes on the industry can overwhelm the wearer, but this isn’t like that. This is appropriate for a date, wearing to work, special anniversary and cosy nights in. It is also set at the right price tag level. Additionally, the packaging, design, marketing and the great scent itself is unique ample to survive in the modern perfume market place. As Katy Perry herself has said; 'There is a terrific world of perfumes out there, but like with my music, I believe there is room for me and my own unique twist on it'. Katy is correct, this perfume is delightful. There are plans to release a body product and bubble bath soon, so keep an eye out for these.
