Katy Perry on Mad Potion perfume: 'It's light-hearted and playful'

Katy Perry believes her latest fragrance has "so many different notes" to it.

The singer has released Mad Potion as her perfume portfolio continues to grow.

Speaking to Look, the US star said that the smell combines two of her favourite scents.

Perry said: "Mad Potion is light-hearted and playful. And it's got so many different notes. It has my two favourite things, all these different vanillas and musks.

"Vanilla, for me, is an aphrodisiac and musk is kind of androgynous, and I like that combination because it's mysterious."

Talking more generally about perfume, the 'Part Of Me' star added:

"I love creative really distinctive scents that hopefully leave lasting impressions on people. They can sort of time travel.

"I believe fragrance is a sixth sense, that it makes memories.

"For instance, if you get in an elevator and smell something someone is wearing that reminds you of the first scent you wore when you were a teenager, or your first boyfriends, I can almost be transported back into that time by a certain smell."
