I was recently sent this fragrance to test out for Beauty Bulletin and it's been an interesting addition to my fragrance collection. Katy Perry's Royal Revolution is her third fragrance (although I'm no familiar with the first 2) It is a heady floral fragrance in a bottle inspired by the beauty of a blue diamond.

My initial experience of the scent is that it is quite sweet, fruity berries was my first thought, with top notes of red pomegranate and pink freesia plus jasmine and orange flower in the heart, you can't expect much less. What is really interesting about the scent is that after the top notes fade you are left with a base of unusual scents such as blackthorn, leather and skin musk - which lend themselves to a more mythical scent, perfect for nights when you want to create some drama!

Royal Revolution is very reasonably priced and comes in a unique bottle, but unfortunately it's not my favourite scent of the moment. I don't reach for it everyday and when I do I don't find myself going in for a quick perk-me-up sniff during the day... I think I find the scent too rich and overpowering and it's just not working well with my skin's chemistry, unfortunately I think I will be moving this one along to a friend!
