Celebrity Flowerbomb
Like countless other reviewers around the web, I get strong Flowerbomb vibes from this, too. Killer Queen uses the same kind of patchouli mixed with sweet jasmine, subtle bergamot and cookie-ish gourmand notes. There are two main differences though. One is the intense dark fruitiness of this, the plum and forest fruit are very noticeable, especially in the opening. The other is a kind of oily, creamy texture in the base coming from the frangipani and cashmeran. It smells like tropical suntan oil underneath the rest of the fragrance. At first I didn't notice it, but it's there, and I think they could have left it out. It doesn't fit in with the Flowerbomb DNA and dark berry notes in my opinion.
All in all, I think this is a typical celebrity scent. Sweet, pleasant and very wearable, maybe a good choice if you like Flowerbomb and berry/plum combos and don't want to spend a fortune. But not groundbreaking and not the most impressive interpretation of the fruitchouli concept.
