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.
This is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its powerful fruity-floral aldehydes intoxicating and luxurious, while others get a synthetic, off-putting blast. Approach with caution, but if it sings on your skin, you're in for a confident, head-turning ride.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent opening and strong sillage make it a bit much for the office. However, its bold, sensual character is perfectly suited for dates or cooler evening formal events, especially given the warm, woody dry down mentioned by reviewers.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Fruity, White Floral accords and Rose, Peach notes
