Superstar Katy Perry’s “Meow”! will make your woman purr on Valentine’s Day

“It” girl, everybody’s sweetheart of the month, Katy Perry  has another winner.  This one’s the cat’s “Meow!” (the name of her latest fragrance guaranteed to be another big seller).  Why we’re so sure is today, after a lovely, long lunch at Spago in Beverly Hills, my husband and I drove over to Nordstrom at the  Grove in Farmer's Market for a little shopping where we discovered the new perfume on display.

Eager to try it,  I dabbed a little Meow!  on my wrist. "Let me smell it," said Richard --whom I sometimes refer to as the “nose” because he's so good at evaluating scents. I proffered my wrist, he took a whiff and loved it!  The aroma doesn’t hit you immediately. You need to let it diffuse for a few seconds—I learned this from professional “noses” (experts hired by fragrance companies to whiff out the best scents).  Then you smell luscious traces of honeysuckle, pear, vanilla, musk and amber.  Subtle, sexy and so Katy Perry, who is a major cat lover, Meow! Is marketed by Gigantic Parfums, a major retailer and specialty chain store operator.

 “Meow!  Is my second baby in the fragrance world,” she said. “I created it during my California Dreams Tour and I can’t wait for people to be able to experience my intriguing, amusing, candy-land like fantasy.”

Any guys reading this should run right out to your nearest Los Angeles Nordstrom and pick up the adorable pink, cat-designed bottle for a Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetheart. It only costs $45 and $65 depending on size.  Cupid’s advice: splurge on the 3.4 ounces because she’ll not only love the scent, but the packing is the bomb!

Meow!  whichwas developed with Givaudan, is Perry’s second entry into the fragrance world joining her “Purr” which was a major best seller when it hit the shelves.  The young celebrity says she just had to put an exclamation mark after the name of her newest perfume because, “the scent evokes fun, sensual spirit and the embodiment of energy.” (Well, maybe somebody wrote that for her).

Never-the-less, it’s another celebrity perfume that has the scent of success.

Katy Perry's Meow! is now at Nordstrom throughout Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, The Grove on Fairfax, Westside Pavilion is WLA and others). For additional locations click on: http://www.nordstrom.com.
