Today is Freddie Mercury's birthday and I wanted to celebrate that by writing about Katy Perry's new perfume 'Killer Queen', which is named after the famous Queen song.
Kuninkaallinen (tai kuningattarinen) teema näkyy todella voimakkaasti sekä tuoksun pakkauksessa että itse pullossa (joka on mielestäni aivan älyttömän kaunis ja vähän överi). Itse pullo on kiinni tuollaisessa muovisessa hökötyksessä. Olisi ollut kiva, jos sille saisi jonkun hienon tuen, että tuoksua voisi säilyttää pystyasennossa. Tuoksu menee Fragrantican mukaan 'fruity floral gourmand' osastoon.
Top notes: Plum, Bergamot, Forest Fruits
Middle Notes: Celosia, Frangipani, Jasmine Sambac
Base Notes: Praline, Cashmeran, Patchouli
Regal theme can be seen by blind person. ;) I love the bottle. It's beautiful and a bit over the top. The bottle is hold in place by this plastic "mold". It would be awesome to get some sort of stand for the bottle so you could store it upright. According to Fragrantica this scent goes to 'floral fruity gourmand' category.
Sain kaupanpäälle tämän korun. Tykkään. :) |
What about the perfume itself? :) I've only tested this for a day. But so far, so good. There's something similar to Lancome's La Vie Est Belle, but Killer Queen is a bit lighter. It's sweet gourmand, but not overly so and staying power seems to be quite nice.
I've never cared for Katry Perry's music, but Queen has been a part of my like over 20 years. So here's the original Killer Queen.
