Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Purr EDP
Katy Perry's Purr is a divisive one. Many find it a delightful, nostalgic fruity-floral, whilst others deem it a synthetic mess. It's a celebrity scent, so expect playful simplicity and a bottle designed to grab attention.

Our Verdict - 203 raspberry, vanilla, blackberry EDP
A pretty, light, and inoffensive fruity-floral that's an easy reach for many, but its fleeting performance means you'll be topping up throughout the day. It's a nice scent at a fair price point, but don't expect it to last.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purr

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Purr is generally light and inoffensive, working well for casual wear or as a 'shampoo-like' scent suitable for the gym. Its moderate longevity and soft projection mean it won't overpower, making it versatile for less formal occasions.

203 raspberry, vanilla, blackberry

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Given its 'soft, fruity light' character and low longevity, it's perfect for office or casual wear where subtlety is appreciated. It wouldn't hold up for formal events or demanding date nights.
