“Most insane scent ever! It’s long-lasting and projects so well especially for the price. The perfume looks and smells expensive.”
Katy Perry is best known for her chart-topping music, theatrical shows and showstopping outfits, but it’s the pop star’s perfume that is causing a stir among beauty fans, being labelled one of the best celebrity fragrance launches ever. Katy Perry’s Killer Queen Eau de Parfum has more than 18,000 customers at Amazon, where a 30ml bottle is £12.81 and a 100ml bottle retails for £32.49.
A woody and white floral scent, the perfume has top notes of wild berries, dark plum and bergamot, following into celosia, sambac jasmine and rainbow plumeria. This finishes with base notes of cashmere, patchouli and liquid praline.
Praised for smelling expensive, but retailing at under £35, the perfume has also been applauded as a long-lasting option that stays on skin, clothes and hair for hours. The bottle it’s housed in is also beautiful, boasting a red diamond shaped bottle topped with a golden crown.
Other bestselling celebrity fragrances include Sabrina Carpenter’s Sweet Tooth Eau de Parfum. A 75ml bottle retails for £39.99 at Boots and it has notes of candied ginger, chocolate marshmallow and coconut milk.
Kylie Jenner’s Cosmic Eau de Parfum is on sale at Debenhams, where shoppers can get a 100ml bottle for £46.40 instead of £58. This fragrance is a sweet, warm floral, elevated scent that is perfect for day and night.

Among the 18,000 customer reviews for Katy Perry’s Killer Queen, there are some hot and cold responses, but they remain largely positive. One person said: “A captivating fragrance fit for a queen. As a self-proclaimed fragrance connoisseur, I’ve had the pleasure of trying countless perfumes over the years. But when I first caught a whiff of Katy Perry’s Killer Queen Eau de Parfum, I knew I had stumbled upon something truly special.
“From the moment I laid eyes on the striking, regal bottle, I was captivated by the alluring blend of sweet, fruity, and woody notes that make up this intoxicating scent. The jasmine and patchouli notes create a delightful, feminine aroma that’s both enchanting and empowering – a true reflection of Katy’s bold, unapologetic spirit.”
A fragrance fan explained: “This perfume deserves five stars. I am a perfume lover and have a massive collection of amazing perfumes and this definitely adds to the collection. Amazing smell.
“Packaging and bottle design are also perfect. If you love a fruity, floral, jasmine scent purchase this women’s perfume. You won’t regret!”
Someone left a mixed review, writing: “I bought this blind, but I like it and it’s value for money. The bottle is gorgeous. The only down side is the nozzle. I intended to put some in a travalo atomizer, but the nozzle is bigger than usual, so doesn’t fit the base of the atomizer.
“It’s the first time I’ve had this problem. It means I only wear this if I’m going out for a few hours, as I have no way of topping up the scent.”
But it was awarded the full five stars by another person that commented: “What truly sets Killer Queen apart, in my opinion, is the sheer versatility of the scent.
“Whether I’m dressing up for a night out or simply running errands around town, this perfume always makes me feel confident, glamorous, and ready to take on the world. The strong, alluring fragrance never fails to turn heads and elicit compliments.”
