Re-do the Review: Killer Queen edp, by Katy Perry...

Coty released Killer Queen in 2013 and described it as being a playful, sophisticated, powerful, edgy and delicious fragrance, that reflects the rebellious spirit of Katy...

"Killer Queen has been in my vocabulary since I was 15, because of the song ‘Killer Queen’ by Queen. Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in. I feel like, after all this time, it was appropriate to use that name in association with something I did. I feel like I’m falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted" - Katy perry


I recently rewrote & re-uploaded my review for the Royal Revolution edp, after receiving a bottle earlier this year and finding that my past feelings on it have changed quite a bit. Afterwards I became curious to find out if my feelings towards Killer Queen have also changed over the years, so bought a cheap bottle on eBay to find out.

100ml bottles of Killer Queen are widely available under the £20 mark online and in outlet stores, and 50ml bottles & gift sets show up regularly too. Therefore I thought I'd do what I did with Royal Revolution and replace my old review with this one, to share my updated thoughts on it...

Take it to the clouds above... [reviewing Cloud 2.0 INTENSE edp, by Ariana Grande]

Enhanced. Addictive. Dreamy. 
Cloud 2.0 INTENSE fragrance will leave you in awe and dreaming of what is yet to come...


"Ariana Grande CLOUD 2.0 is an amplified mix of lavender, juicy pear, and mouthwatering bergamot. Creamy musk and blonde woods evoke a cashmere-like skin sensual allure making this fragrance undeniably irresistible."


I really enjoy Cloud edp and think that it is undoubtedly the best fragrance release under Ariana Grande’s name, but the longevity and aura for it are still disappointing, if I'm honest. So when I saw that she had released a intense edition of Cloud in America last year, I was really excited and waited in anticipation...

And waited and waited. The delays between when God Is A Woman and Thank U Next 2.0 where released there and here where so long, that I had begun to think that Cloud 2.0 INTENSE wasn't going to receive a UK release at all.

Then I was cutting through Boots last week and... Bingo. Needless to say,  but I immediately bought a bottle and shoved the other two reviews I'm writing aside, to get this review out ASAP. 

Let's get to the good stuff...
