Killer Queen Eau de Parfum



When Katy Perry's Killer Queen first burst onto the celebrity perfume scene in 2013, it was all the rage. Everyone wanted to be seen with the bottle and all the beauty bloggers adored it. At the time I wasn't really that interested as celebrity perfumes have never thrilled me, but having seen the bottle over and over again in the stores, as time has gone by I've become more intrigued by this product.

Katy Perry's Killer Queen fragrance was inspired by the rock band Queen's 1794 hit as it was a song the artist grew up with and prevalent to the way she felt about herself.According to an interview with Women's Wear Daily Katy Perry said:"Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in...I feel like, after all this time, it was appropriate to use that name in association with something I did. I feel like i'm falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted."

When I first saw this perfume, it was the bottle in the perfume ads that instantly grabbed my attention.  This perfume bottle is inspired by a Queen's specter with a bright luxurious red jewel shape, topped with an elegant gold crown. The bottle oozes glamour and sophistication whilst evoking a sense of a strong, dominant woman who would use this product. Although celebrity perfumes are usually marketed at younger women, this perfume is suited to those of all ages who would like to place a fun and aesthetically quirky product on their dressing table.


The Killer Queen Eau de Parfum is a mix of wild berries, dark plum and bergamot topped with a velvety red flower, sambac jasmine and rainbow plumeria. The base is cashmere, patchouli and liquid praline. Whilst reading this it is easy to imagine the Killer Queen fragrance as sickly sweet, but it has a surprising musky accent that compliments all the sweeter tones and leaves a bewitching lingering scent.

Katy Perry describes her perfume as a 'playful, sophisticated, powerful, edgy and delicious fragrance' and I couldn't agree more. For a celebrity perfume the scent is really unexpected, easily rivalling some of the more luxurious brands available on the market and currently on offer at £10 from Chemist Direct* you really cannot go wrong.
