Introducing Royal Revolution by Katy Perry‏

Hey everyone!

I’d love to introduce you to the newest fragrance from global superstar Katy Perry – her newest scent called Royal Revolution.

This fragrance is as beautiful as it is bold, and as royal as it is rebellious. Recently, I was lucky enough to get a chance to be sent this perfume to try out. I love it so far! Just keep in mind, it is a more floral perfume, which for me works out great, because it has a longer staying power than others. As always, Katy Perry has unique perfume bottle shapes, and I love how this one looks when the light hits it on my perfume tray.

"In some ways wearing fragrance is like putting on an invisible suit of luxurious armor. I want Royal Revolution to inspire women to make their own rules and embrace the idea that beauty and inner confidence can come together to become your secret weapon.” - Katy Perry

Royal Revolution ($49, 1.7 oz.) is a tempting and irresistible floral fragrance with tantalizing top notes of pink freesia kissed by the nectar of ruby-red pomegranate captivate the senses. Middle notes of sandalwood balanced with sheer orange flower and velvety jasmine petals create a soft, delicate floral heart guarded by the Mystical Blackthorn. Sexy musk and soft vanilla orchid linger on the skin, ensuring an unrivaled and unforgettable dry-down.

This Killer Queen is destined to lead a Royal Revolution. The Scent of Victory!

Whitney

Katy Perry Killer Queen Perfume

Hey everyone!

Katy Perry's new perfume Killer Queen has everyone talking this fall, and this beauty girl is no different! Recently, I was sent a sample of the perfume, and I must say it has lived up to my expectations and more! The fragrance itself starts out with a strong, fruity/floral scent, but it quickly dries down to a rich spicy scent that is perfect for this fall and winter! I found that it lasted on my skin for several hours before I needed to reapply.

“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.” 

Katy Perry

The Carton 

The imperial red carton echoes the royalty of a Killer Queen with a tufted textured pattern reminiscent of a throne framed with a fanciful ermine border.  Playful gold crowns add whimsy to the carton while the signature Katy Perry crest and ornate filigree logo add prominence and distinction.

The Bottle 

Inspired by a queen’s scepter, the distinct jewel-shaped bottle in shades of royal red and gold portrays sexy sophistication and lawless luxury. The faceted bottle rests languorously on its side, like a loose, precious gem fit for a Queen. The regality of the bottle is enhanced with a rich gold crown showcasing a custom crest capturing Katy Perry’s playful essence—regal cats, a music clef, hearts and dagger.

The Fragrance 

Created by Laurent Le Guernec of IFF, Killer Queen is an addictive fragrance that bewitches, indulges and demands to be noticed. 

“The Red Velvet Flower inspired this creation beginning with the richness of the burgundy red, the velvety feel reminiscent of a royal cape and its deep textured floral scent”, says Laurent Le Guernec.
