Katy Perry Royal Revolution

I recently read that celebrity fragrances are outselling other fragrances 3 to 1.  Could it be the recession making us save our pennies with a more affordable alternative or is it more likely that celebrity fragrances are getting better?  Personally I think it's a bit of both.  I think celebrity fragrances are not as long lasting as perfumes from the main perfume houses but then again they generally cost less than a third of the price.  While Celebrity fragrances have generally been aimed towards the teens they are currently taking on a more mature and sophisticated nose.  

One of our favourite recent Celebrity Perfume releases has been Katy Perry Royal Revolution.  I will hold my hands up and say I LOVE KATY PERRY she just seems like she could be your friend, a friend who would always have lipstick (and quite possibly be an expert at applying false eye lashes).  

While a lot of Pop Star fragrances tend to smack you in the face with sugary sweetness Royal Revolution is a scent that is a little different.  Its not a fragrance that you would immediately think "CELEBRITY FRAGRANCE" its unusual while also being very wearable.  

Top Notes: Pink Freesia, Pomegranate

Middle Notes: Sandalwood, Orange Flower, Jasmine Petals

Base Notes: Black Thorn, Skin Musk, Vanilla Orchid

As I mentioned earlier I as is the case with most celebrity fragrances it is not the most long lasting scent but the bottle  (which is designed to look like a sapphire) is a great talking piece if your a fan of whipping out your perfume to reapply during the day.

Royal Revolution would make a wonderful Christmas gift and because its not overly sweet you have more gifting options.  Christmas is a great time to pick up fragrances as you tend to be able to get them on special offer or in gift sets.

Are you a fan of the Celebrity Fragrance?
