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.
Perfume Parlour's budget take on Katy Perry Purr - a juicy peach-and-apple opening over a lush jasmine-gardenia-rose bouquet, finishing creamy with vanilla, coconut and soft musk. PP captures the sweet, playful, peachy-floral character of the original, though it reads a touch flatter and simpler. A cheerful, easy fruity-floral for a fraction of the price.

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
The juicy peach-apple opening and creamy floral character make it a natural spring and summer scent; it lacks the depth for cold weather.
Occasions
Its sweet, playful, skin-close profile suits casual daytime and flirty date wear, with enough softness to pass at the office.
