Katy Perry's Killer Perfume

Let me just start off by saying I love everything Katy Perry does. She is an icon in my eyes. Although I never smelled her first 2 perfumes, Killer Queen is finally the one I got my hands on. Charm is deceptive, beauty passes away but there's nothing like a sweet smelling fragrance that lasts all day long. Those were my husband's words when he smelled this scent. Usually I don't start off by telling you what I DON'T like about a perfume, but I have to tell you, for me MOST (I won't say all) celebrity perfumes smell the same, except for the original Kim Kardashian which I really liked. This smell, the BEST way I can explain, is that it smells like every other celebrity scent. So needless to say, I was a bit disappointed. When I was creating Killer Queen, I was really inspired by the idea of a strong, confident woman in power and that is exactly what I hoped to put into this fragrance, something that brings out the power inside of you.”

I do like the bottle however I dislike how it won't sit on it's own. The bottom comes to a point so it won't sit upright. I'm forced to keep it in the box and lay it sideways. The top notes are berry and plum which I really don't smell any of. It's smiliar to Queen Latifiah or the Halle Berry Fragrance in that it can it has that strong Woody Scent, also similar to Beyoncé's Perfume.

The scent WILL linger for a while which is a plus, and it does tone down after a hour or so, (the first spray is extremely strong)
