EVENT: Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance #RoyalRevolution Review + Recap

Last Friday, I took a day trip to Toronto for the unveiling of Katy Perry's new fragrance - a sweet little tea party at the Windsor Arms. Coincidentally, Katy Perry was also in town the next day for a concert. My thoughts on Katy Perry? She's a stunna - talented, unique, quirky. Yes, yes, and yes. First, take in the beauty of sweets, scones, and sandwiches and then scroll down a little further for my thoughts on Katy Perry's new Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum! 

TOP NOTES: pink freesia, pomegranate

MIDDLE NOTES: sandalwood, orange flower, jasmine petals

BASE NOTES: blackthorn, skin musk, vanilla orchid 

Consistent with the other fragrances (Katy Perry Killer Queen and Oh So Sheer), the bottle is a multi-faceted jewel topped with a regal crown - a pretty addition to any perfume collection. Compared to the previous two scents, Royal Revolution's base note includes blackthorn while the other two have a base note of Celosia (velvety red flower).  I smelled each one at a time and noted that Killer Queen is the heaviest scent while Oh So Sheer is the lightest and Royal Revolution falls somewhere in between.

I have little something to admit... I am not a fragrance person. When's the last time you saw a fragrance review on the blog? NEVER. There's a reason why. If I'm not sneezing, coughing or having an allergic reaction to someone's Bath and Body Works smell, I'm having a hard time finding something that suits me. Once upon a time, I loved Marc Jacobs Daisy and lately I've been fawning over Philosophy's Loveswept and Carven Eau de Toilette... but they're a little much for me on the daily. Hence, my terrible explanation of scents. 

TL;DR... I stink (not really), but Katy Perry's Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum might change that - it's not overly sweet, a little more sultry and deep than my current faves (Carven and Philosphy Loveswept) but still wearable for everyday. I wish you could take a whiff of me right now. You'll have to go sniff it for yourself. 

Oh.. and be sure to check out this bad-ass promo animation for the perfume: 

Katy Perry's Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum (50 mL, $59.99) will be available as of August 2014 at Shoppers' Drug Mart.
