Killer Queen by Katy Perry was launched in 2013, a fragrance that marries the playful sweetness of forest fruits with the warmth of patchouli and cashmeran. Laurent Le Guernec crafted this scent to be both gourmand and floral, creating an olfactory experience that oscillates between the freshness of bergamot and the richness of praline. The heart of jasmine sambac and frangipani adds a lush floral touch, while celosia brings a distinctive depth. Killer Queen is a composition that seamlessly blends fruity and woody notes to create a scent that feels both familiar and intriguing.

Application Tips
Apply Killer Queen in light layers to let each note develop gradually. The praline and forest fruits are most noticeable initially but give way to the richer base notes like patchouli and cashmeran over time. This fragrance works best for daytime, where its bright and warm character can shine.
