A sweet fruity floral from 2010, Purr by Katy Perry is described by nearly everyone as floral and by most as gourmand, with green, woody and musky touches that only a minority pick out. It smells of ripe fruit and white flowers over a soft, dessert-like base.

The opening pairs juicy peach and red apple with gardenia, while bamboo lends a cool green edge that stops the fruit from becoming syrupy. The heart is a classic bouquet of rose, jasmine and freesia. Underneath, coconut and vanilla bring the creamy sweetness, musk and sandalwood smooth it out, and amber adds a gentle warmth.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and about a quarter find it weak, so it is not a scent that lasts all day. Sillage is moderate for about half of people and intimate for many of the rest, staying close to the skin. It is voted mostly for spring and summer and for daytime wear, which makes it an easy, casual choice for warmer months.
