Purr Katy Perry 2010 Eau de Parfum

At the beginning of last week, I strolled around the shopping mall, partly bored, partly frustrated - time to check out some new perfumes.

I completely avoid the men's section - I don't like those sharp, woody, harsh scents. Besides, I think everyone should smell like they want to and that perfumes are not necessarily "gender-specific"... :)

So I head straight to the lifestyle section, which looks quite nice here. Somehow, though, nothing speaks to me directly, so I turn around when I suddenly discover such a funny bottle.
Is that a cat? A purple cat? Really?

YAAAAH! Indeed! That is a purple cat with funny eyes!
I immediately stomp over, want to test the cat, but unfortunately, the cat is already empty. The saleswoman unfortunately doesn't have a second tester - what to do?

Fortunately, I have a 5 euro voucher, so I buy the cat. Just the bottle alone is super cool, and Katy Perry... it must be something sweet and fruity, and I love sweet, fruity scents very much.

So I hurried home, no longer so frustrated. At home, I unpack it. Man, the bottle really does look very nice!

Now let's get to the negative aspect of it all: The scent.
I spray it on my wrist, shake it once or twice, and sniff... It smells like I left a peach iced tea open for 2 weeks. Uuuuh...
I sniff again - the smell of fermenting fruit (peach?) just won't shake off...

What’s up with that, cat?

But it's not so bad - after a few minutes, this unpleasant smell dissipates and transforms into something quite pleasant. Apple, bamboo - to be honest, I don't recognize any of that.
The peach lingers relatively long and becomes more pleasant over time; later, I imagine I can smell the vanilla orchid, which is a very nice, pleasant scent.
Nothing groundbreaking and nothing with a recognizable signature.

If the cat tester had been full, I wouldn't have a purple cat at home now...
But that doesn't bring back the frustration - the cat is here, and that's okay.

Conclusion of this whole cat saga: Definitely not terrible (except in the first seconds), but certainly nothing unique or wonderful.
But quite nice :)
