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 90s classic is a divisive little number. For some, it's a nostalgic peach bomb; for others, it's a synthetic-smelling headache. Either way, it's loud and proud, and definitely not boring.
