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 seriously divisive fragrance! Love it, loathe it, or merely tolerate it, everyone's got an opinion, but most agree it smells like a cheaper Viva La Juicy. It's a sweet, playful scent, but be warned: the longevity is truly dreadful for most.
