Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Killer Queen EDP
Killer Queen is a divisive celebrity frag - some find it a gorgeous, budget-friendly 'Flowerbomb' alternative, while others dismiss it as a generic, sickly sweet fruitchouli. Approach with caution, but it might just slay for you.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sovereign Murderer For Women EDP
A budget take on Katy Perry's Killer Queen, built on the same dark-plum-and-berry opening over a jasmine-and-dark-patchouli heart with sweet praline. It captures the mature fruitchouli character but renders the plum-patchouli depth flatter than the surprisingly grown-up original.
