Bad Formula : Purr by Katy Perry

The first scent by the recently divorced pop star comes packaged in the form of a purple cat and features Katy dressed up in matching skin-tight cat suit within the advertising.

While I really wanted to like this scent, I found it to be very watered down and lasting no more than two seconds upon spritzing it on my skin. Then, I thought maybe if I put on a bit more, that would make it last longer! But, sadly, the scent had disappeared before I’d even made it out the door.

“While I love the packaging, I felt like Purr left a lot to be desired,” Katz said


Horrible Smell : Snooki by Nicole Polizzi

While I’m super happy to hear that the Jersey Shore starlet recently gave birth to a healthy boy, I can honestly that’s probably the only news she’s ever released that I actually cared about.

Last year, Nicole launched her own signature fragrance called “Snooki” which features colored leopard print packaging. The scent itself is super sweet (pink cupcake accord and sugared musk are just some of its main ingredients).

I remember watching her sell it on HSN and cringing while hearing her describe the various places she liked to spray it before clubbing or “smushing.”

“Unfortunately a lot of celebrity fragrances smell very mass/cheap and standard-issue,” says Amber Katz of BeautyBloggingJunkie.com. “Snooki’s smells like a baby prostitute, to quote Janis Ian from Mean Girls.”

Confusing Scent : Boyfriend by Kate Walsh

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a woman smelling like a man sometimes.

As a fan of unisex scents (Calvin Klein always manages to do a great job in this department!), I don’t really think the whole idea of this particular fragrance hit the nail on the head.

Apparently, Walsh created this fragrance with the intent of capturing the scent of a man on a woman. While the packaging is different (it features several male names emblazoned all over the bottle) it definitely doesn’t live up to its scented hype.

“I was kind of put off by the marketing for this,” Katz confessed. “I wouldn’t want to smell like this, but I’m guessing the draw here is trying to mimic your boyfriend’s scent – if your boyfriend is a lumberjack.”


The One that got Away : Selena Gomez

Not to be outdone with her loving boyfriend Justin Beiber, Gomez launched a signature fragrance earlier this year. It may not be raking in the millions that Beiber’s has (his women’s fragrances have literally dominated the celebrity fragrance industry, next to Elizabeth Taylor, of course), but I give her accolades for at least trying.

It’s easy to judge her scent before you even take a whiff as the bottle features these strange lip attachments that stick out of the top (I still haven’t figured out what they’re supposed to be). The fragrance itself smells super sweet and is very light, much like you would imagine a teenage scent to be. But, I feel like this is one that never quite made it onto the celebrity fragrance radar, like Lady Gaga’s or Nicki Minaj’s have. I mean, be honest: did you even know it existed before reading this article?

Fierro confessed that she’d heard about Selena’s scent but never took a whiff of it.

“I was so disinterested that I didn’t even respond to PR pitches for it,” she said.

I guess I wont be buying any of these

Everybody and they momma got a perfume now. Its disgusting tbh.

I agree with Purr. My sister has it and though it smells really nice it literally only lasts for a few seconds. Tbh I think she only bought it for the bottle

Selena's career in a nutshell.

Snooki has a perfume?

I actually like Purr.

I think hands down Mariah Carey has the worst celebrity fragrance line. At least in my opinion.

And wait a second....Nicki Minaj has a perfume? Who even knew.

I smelled Snooki's perfume in Macy's and it did smell like a baby prostitute fragrance.

I actually had no idea that Selena had a perfume out and I usually keep up with fragrance.

oh and selena named it after katy's song, what kinda impact

TBH.... BOTH of Rihanna's perfumes smell INCREDIBLY WELL.

They both surprised me. And they are not the typical sugary sweety s*it

I think Rihanna's fragrances are actually really good and the presentation and photoshoots are amazing as well.

I'm surprised Nicki was mentioned in this article but not as part of the list. I'm sure it's only a matter of time though

My Queen's fragrance already being a headliner without even being officially released yet YASSSS

Yet it was in the top 3 of Macys for the LONGEST with over 1400 celebrity scents.

Well I tried using Purr for awhile and I kinda agree at this. It doesn't really last that long throughout the day. Very nice, citrus-y and flirty scent but it kinda seems ordinary to me

But the bottle design really SH*TS on other celebrity perfumes out there that's a fact.

I still haven't smelled Meow though.

Not Katy Perry selling water as a perfume

Purr isn't very good, it smells amazzinnggggg once you first put it on, but it starts to fade noticeably after like 20 minutes
