Pop beauty Katy Perry took to her official Twitter page last night (May 2) to share information about her forthcoming new perfume and also unveiled the bottle.

The packaging for the scent, which will be the 'Teenage Dream' superstar's third, is reminiscent of the top part of a royal sceptre with a long gold-coloured stem and ruby red gem set into it and she has now also revealed the name of the fragrance.

Writing on the social networking site, Perry told her fans: "Just had an elegant unveiling of my new fragrance 🌹KILLER QUEEN🌹 at the Duke! Can't wait to share the royal juice! #sosophisticated."

She also shared a snapshot of a manicure she had done especially for the unveiling to match the bottle's stunning design and wore a stunning rose-embellished gown to the unveiling party in New York at the James B. Duke Mansion.

Back in 2011, the hitmaker opened up about her love for the glam rock band Queen and paid tribute to the late Freddie Mercury on what would have been his birthday, telling the camera that their song 'Killer Queen' secured her love for music so the perfume's name seems particularly fitting:

"You're not really gone. You've inspired us all and you've inspired me especially. Without you, I wouldn't be making music or doing what I do because your lyrics inspired me as a fifteen-year-old girl. I heard 'Killer Queen' and wanted to be a killer Queen."
