Katy Perry Perfumes for Women
There are two cats. A purple one and a pink one. Then there is the red jewel-shaped bottle, which needs its own stand to sit upright.
They were definitely having fun with the bottles. But what about the actual fragrances? Purr is made up of peach, apple and coconut. Meow! goes for pear, vanilla and floral notes. Killer Queen has dark plum, wild berries and praline. Indi goes in a different direction with white tea, cedarwood and musk.

Purr vs Meow! Which Cat Do You Have?
Purr Eau de Parfum was Katy Perry's first perfume, released in 2010. In 2011, she released Meow! Eau de Parfum. Both came in cat-shaped bottles. Both were fruity floral fragrances containing vanilla. What's the difference?
Purr starts with peach, red apple, gardenia and bamboo. Jasmine, rose and freesia follow. Coconut, vanilla, sandalwood and musk then become more prominent. That coconut note is what sets it apart from some other fruity florals.
With Meow!, it's a bit different. Pear and tangerine feature alongside jasmine and gardenia. Honeysuckle, orange blossom and lily of the valley are in the middle. Vanilla, amber, musk and sandalwood round it off. If you're trying to remember which cat you had, purple was Purr and pink was Meow! And no, they don't smell the same.
Killer Queen: Dark Plum, Praline and a Dash of Patchouli
The bottle holding Killer Queen Eau de Parfum looks like a giant jewel with a crown.
The fragrance changed too. Wild berries, dark plum and bergamot open the scent. Jasmine sambac, frangipani and celosia follow, with praline, patchouli and cashmeran at the base.
Praline gives it a sweet confectionery feel. Patchouli adds earthiness, while cashmeran brings soft woody notes. Sure, it's still sweet. But there's more to it than fruit. If you like fruity fragrances with a warmer base, compare Killer Queen with Purr and Meow!
Royal Revolution: Don't Be Fooled by the Bottle
Royal Revolution was released in 2014. It had the same bottle shape as Killer Queen, but in blue. It's easy to think it's the same fragrance in a different colour. But it's not.
Pomegranate and pink freesia open the scent. Orange blossom, jasmine and sandalwood feature in the middle. Blackthorn, vanilla orchid, leather and musk make up the base.
Leather may seem like an odd note in a celebrity fruity floral. But it doesn't mean the perfume will smell mainly of leather. It adds another layer beneath the fruits and flowers. Killer Queen focuses on dark fruit, praline and patchouli. Royal Revolution takes a different direction with pomegranate, florals and leather.
Mad Potion or Mad Love? Vanilla and Strawberry
Another pair that can be confused. Katy Perry's Mad Potion Eau de Parfum was released in 2015.
This one is all about vanilla. Vanilla orchid, apple and peony open the fragrance. Bourbon vanilla, jasmine and musk follow, with more vanilla, amber and musk at the base.
If you love vanilla, this is one to check out. Mad Love came out in 2016. Strawberry, apple sorbet and pink grapefruit are at the top. Peony and jasmine follow, with coconut, musk and sandalwood at the base.
Think vanilla custard versus strawberry ice cream. For a vanilla-focused fragrance, compare Mad Potion. If you prefer strawberries with a hint of coconut, look at Mad Love.
Indi: Not Your Typical Katy Perry Perfume
After all those sweet-smelling fruits and vanilla notes, Katy Perry released Indi Eau de Parfum in 2017.
White tea. --> White tea, plum and bergamot open the fragrance. White cedarwood, lily of the valley and cyclamen follow.
And then musk. A lot of musk, to be precise. The description mentions several musks alongside tonka bean and amber. Indi could suit you if you prefer clean, woody and musky fragrances.
There are still fruits and florals, but they aren't the main focus. If you've avoided Katy Perry perfumes because you thought they were all sweet, compare Indi.
