Katy Perry says new fragrance Meow is more “edible” than her first

By Andrea Petrou on November 24th, 2011

Katy Perry’s latest fragrance is “more edible” than her first scent.

The I Kissed A Girl singer – who is currently on her ‘California Dreams’ world tour – thinks her latest perfume Meow, a follow up to her debut smell Purr, is the “perfect snapshot” of her busy life which currently consists of playing gigs worldwide.

She told People: “The first fragrance (Purr) was more floral, by a long while, and this one is a lot more edible.

“It’s the perfect snapshot of where my head is right now, especially being on tour.”

The brunette beauty wants to “make memories” with her latest scent – which is made up of honeysuckle and pear, with a base of vanilla, musk and amber – by creating an iconic scent so people will remember where they were when they smelt it.

She added: “I think that you can hear a song, and it’ll take you back to that moment, or that person, or that time in your life.

“Same thing with your sense of smell – it’s really powerful. So I thought I could make memories with people with Purr or Meow.”

The 27-year-old stunner got the idea for the pink, cat-shaped bottle of her Meow perfume from going to local markets when was younger.

She explained: “I grew up going to flea markets, and all the vintage stores and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. I’d always look for milk glass – that beautiful, vintage milk glass that held candles, or salt and pepper. I definitely wanted to use it for Meow.”

Rihanna will name her second fragrance Rebelle.

The singer launched her first perfume Reb’l Fleur earlier this year and asked her fans to vote on the name of her new fragrance in a poll on her website in which 68 per cent chose Rebelle.

The new scent – which has been “built off the sexy back of Reb’l Fleur” – will go on sale in December.

Rebelle will be packaged in a variation of the original bottle.

Fred Purches, chairman and chief executive officer of Parlux Fragrances Inc – which has been working on the perfumes with Rihanna – said the company is also planning on eventually launching a men’s scent with the singer.

Rihanna has previously revealed Reb’l Fleur was a reference to a nickname her grandmother gave her when she was growing up in Barbados, and she has also had it tattooed on her.

The ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker has long been known to mix different existing perfumes to create her own signature scent and said she wanted her own perfume to reflect the her roots in Barbados as well as her life in New York and Los Angeles.

She has described her first perfume as “like high heels with a short, flirty dress.”

By Andrea Petrou on October 10th, 2011

Katy Perry will ask her fans to guess the name of her new perfume via twitter.

The California Gurls hitmaker – who released her debut fragrance Purr, earlier this year – will launch the new scent later this year in association with Gigantic Parfums and from next week on will invite her twitter followers to submit their ideas for its name.

According to WWD, Katy, 26, created the new fragrance while on her ‘California Dreams’ world tour.

The popstar has previously claimed her Purr fragrance is “like the Goldilocks of perfume”, saying people can tell from their very first sniff that the “cute” scent is “just right” and matched perfectly to her wild, fun loving, loud and convivial nature.

She said: “It’s like the Goldilocks of perfume. It s not too much, it’s not too forgettable, it’s just right. It’s basically me in a bottle. I think a lot of people go up and they go, ‘That’s definitely Katy Perry. This is definitely Katy Perry’s perfume.’ ”

She has also gave advice on the best way to apply the scent.

She said: “I usually spray and walk through. I never spray directly on

“I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to spray directly on the skin. Then it’s not so concentrated, because everybody knows sometimes when a woman walks into a room, she can smell like her grandmother.”

She said: “A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you. It’s exciting to think that Wonderstruck will play a role in creating some of those memories.”

Falling in love is a moment every girl daydreams about and Wonderstruck represents that magical feeling of promise and hope and intrigue. It was fascinating to learn that you can layer so many different scents to create a beautiful end result.”
