Which Should You Buy?
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.
Seriously coconutty and incredibly sweet, this is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. If you're after a loud, playful, and creamy coconut dream, then strap in. Others might find it cloying.
