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's a divisive throwback, simultaneously triggering nostalgia and headaches. Most agree the coconut and vanilla combo smells lush, like a gourmand summer dream - if only it would stick around longer than a quick flirt. Just don't over-spray, unless you fancy smelling like a melted candle shop.

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 summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its sweet, inviting gourmand profile makes it perfect for casual wear or dates where a delicious, creamy scent is welcome. The abysmal longevity, as repeatedly highlighted by reviewers, and the potent sweetness from the vanilla and coconut mean it's less suited for formal settings or professional environments.
