    If I *really* stretch to interpret this, I would guess it was a leather and powder scent–maybe with a hint of blood?

    . . . somehow I’m guessing that’s not how it will actually go . . .

    (I don’t really get the point of these sorts of teasers–am I supposed to be excited by the scent because Ms. Perry has fun clothes?)

      I am really sick of commercial teasers…sometimes they do so many that you’ve already seen the whole commercial by the time it airs. But hey, nobody asks me about marketing 🙂

        Ads like this make me sad for since they feature no dialog whatsoever if you’re blind or visually impaired you haven’t an ever loving clue what it’s meant to convey, signify or represent save for the title of the youtube video itself (sad face). Bring back commercial jingles and dialog. “It’s in the air something’s in the air, L’Air Du Temps” “Let it release the splendor of you, Vanderbilt.” It makes me long for the days of my youth.

    I am of the age where Killer Queen reminds me of Queen (Freddie Mercury et al), and a rather different image than Katie Perry’s Teenage Dream Valley Girl image. Mercury’s Killer Queen would probably be scented with leather and tobacco, and ambroxyn, Katie’s I imagine as all berry and tuberose ;

      Yep. Freddie was my first thought, too!

    Yes, I am at least grateful that the awesome song is stuck in my head – I’m more on board with Freddie than Katy any day. And as much as I hate to sound so negative, I’m really not expecting anything beside the forgettable candy we’ve gotten a thousand times before.

    While I can get on board with the 18th century punk royalty angle, the godawful white wig is not doing much for me! Could be worth trying as a cheap thrill.
