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 one is a divisive floral-fruity scent some call an 'Alien dupe but better', while others find it a generic 'old lady' perfume. Expect compliments if it clicks with your skin, but don't expect it to last.
