by Katy Perry
Meow by Katy Perry is a soft, creamy gourmand fragrance centered around sweet vanilla, with a subtle juicy pear and tangerine opening. It evokes the sensation of a delicate cotton candy or marshmallow, wrapped in a soft powdery floral base with hints of white florals and amber. The scent is light, intimate, and comfortable—ideal for creating a soothing, comforting aura. It feels youthful and feminine, resembling a warm, sweet embrace. Though its presence is often brief, it lingers pleasantly close to the skin, with some users noting it lasts moderately and projects slightly on clothing. For those who appreciate sweet, easygoing scents without complexity, it offers a delightful, nostalgic experience reminiscent of vanilla ice cream or soft pastries. Its standout qualities include its creamy, approachable character and the charming cat-shaped bottle, which enhances its appeal as a playful, girly signature. Despite its lyrical descriptions, the perfume is consistently noted for its lack of longevity and moderate sillage. Some find the sweetness overwhelming or synthetic, especially in hotter climates or on certain skin types. A few reviewers report it fails to develop beyond singular notes like vanilla or pear. However, fans of gourmands, especially those who enjoy simple, sweet fragrances without harshness, often find it remarkably satisfying and well worth considering.
