Spring Reign by Katy Perry

Famous perfume attraction: low prices, possible artist appeal, pretty bottles. Katy Perry surprised me: Killer Queen makes me forget La Vie Est Belle and Flowerbomb (similar, but this is cheaper and better). Royal Revolution is unique, and Spring Reign is a floral shotgun inspired by spring. White, powdery, subtle floral opening with a sweet black currant touch. If it had stayed this way, the quality would have been lacking, but thank God it didn’t. Fresh and warm heart: playful May rose and velvety magnolia, a pleasant sigh (didn’t notice the thyme). Risky oriental base, highlighting benzoin and smoky cedar; cashmere adds a very discreet incense note. Questionable quality: clean rose, freesia, and violet, but the cashmere and cedar feel synthetic and irritating. Subtle sillage, ghostly when cold, ideal for spring or summer at the cost of longevity. Moderate trail, improves with heat but fades faster (about 3 hours in summer, longer in winter). For the price, I have no problem reapplying. Clean, attractive, discreet, and delicate. Nothing annoying, unless you use half a bottle.

Beautiful fragrance! It’s floral but has something sweet and fruity. Fresh, subtle, with a sweet touch. I love it; I can smell the gardenia from start to finish. I’m not usually a floral person, but this was an incredible surprise. Gorgeous, I want it in my collection.

Spring Reign is beautiful, both the color and the scent. Fresh; I think it’s better than Killer Queen or a tie, because they show two sides of femininity: one sweet and tender (Spring Reign) and another sensual and coquettish (the original). For daily use, I’d stick with Spring Reign. It works great on my skin and lasts quite a while. As Miranda Priestly would say: ‘Flowers for spring? How innovative.’ But the rose and gardenia combination makes this spring innovative, and the violet at the start marks a good season. One thing: 99.99% of my reviews say I don’t like perfumes that smell like ‘auntie,’ I’m 19 and don’t want to grow up; I always associate florals with that 50-year-old aunt who hugs me and smells like her all day. This perfume is a rich floral for all ages. I think it’s very good, although when you buy without testing, everyone either likes it or ends up loving it like I do. Not many people use it at my school, so I feel unique and could call it my seasonal secret.

I smelled it today; it gave me the impression of fruit gum xD. Smells good for everyday wear, but it’s not impressive.
