Ariana Grande Ari 30ml EDP

Absolutely gorgeous perfume. My friend started wearing this and now has me wearing it nonstop as such a lovely fragrance. It is not heavy (I do not like heavy, musky smelling perfumes at all!) and is lovely and light and actually lasts well. It doesn't lose its scent that quickly but does obviously need sprayed again during the day. Lovely design with definite glamour appeal with the colour and the cute pompom adding the ideal finishing touch. Highly recommend this perfume and I am certainly not a person who usually likes perfumes with a celebrity name attached to it but this is heavenly no doubt about it. Ideal for warm days as definitely a summery type perfume but is also fab used in the colder months for a reminder of the sunny days.

Top Notes: Rich Black Currant, Juicy Plum Heart Notes:Fluffy Marshmallow, Fresh Peony Base Notes: Creamy Sandalwood, Black Amber, Sensual Vanilla This fruity floral fragrance was gifted to me by my other half. It's a mature-like marshmallowy fragrance that I really do like but honestly don't reach for very often due to it not projecting well. An excellent date night/ Intimate scent. I personally love scents that are powerful grab others attending when I walk by. The bottle design is one of my favorites, by far! I typically layer this one when I do decide I want to wear it! I only wish it had more reach power! This is my first from her line. I have yet to try any of the others. I've sampled them in stores... And they honestly seemed a bit teenagerish to me.

I got this for Christmas and at first I was like oh is this a fake thing from Walmart. Then I googled it and it’s actually an Ariana Grande scent so I was so excited to try this. And to my surprise it was so pretty. It smells a little average, nothing to special. It’s good for those days you just don’t wanna show off you smell nice but you wanna smell nice. Like for a job interview or something. It definitely wouldn’t trigger anyone’s allergies not make anyone wanna make out with you. A safe buy for those who don’t know what to buy but wanna buy something nice for someone. Cloud is better though but still great. Ari for the win!

Top Notes: Rich Black Currant, Juicy Plum Heart Notes:Fluffy Marshmallow, Fresh Peony Base Notes: Creamy Sandalwood, Black Amber, Sensual Vanilla Ariana Grande is known for her light and playful fragrances. This fragrance smells very soft and sweet, and once it macerates it’s vanilla and marshmallow steal the show. This scent is light enough for daily wear or even for younger girls. I have work this fragrance to bed after a night shower. The only downfall is the lack of longevity and projection of this perfume. Compared to more expensive designer fragrances, this fragrance doesn’t stand very well, but for its price it’s great. If you’re advanced in perfume play, this fragrance is great for layering as it can compliment many other scents.

Super sweet, fun perfume! I am a big fan of all of Ariana's perfumes, and this one is no exception! The top notes are blackberry, bergamot and pear, and I feel like I can smell all three of these clearly. The mid notes are jasmine, sambac, frangipani, and honeysuckle. I really get the jasmine and sambac in the heart, with a subtle hint of honeysuckle. The base notes are marshmallow, cashmere woods, and vanilla. I can smell all of these, with marshmallow and vanilla definitely taking the lead. This is a very sweet perfume, overall, similar to Pink Sugar but a bit more mature, IMO. It is still a very "young" scent, but I think there are enough interesting notes to make it appropriate for more than just teens and young adults. The lasting power is great as well!

Disappointed..

I honestly felt disappointed by this… Everyone says good things about Ariana grandes perfume “Ari” but maybe I’m not so used to the light faint smell.. I might sound like I’m complaining, which I’m not because hey for the price it really is a steal compared to the original price. The bottle seems quite expensive but.. The smell well it just seems cheap. The white ball sadly did not come attached on mine and not only that.. the smell is very very light and it was really hard to smell it. i smell barely any of the notes. Maybe I’m mistaken but… I just feel disappointed because I guess I just held this to such an high standard. A plus; The perfume bottle is really pretty. If you’re thinking about getting it well.. I’d recommend doing more research first.

Great Everyday Scent

This has become a regular for me, along with cloud and sweet like candy. I prefer this one over sweet like candy though, it has more personality in my opinion. But, I do enjoy all 3 of them. I do have to spray a lot of this to get it to last abd be noticed but it lasts long on my clothes, I can still smell it on my clothes when I go to do laundry. I get compliments on this perfume often, in fact this and cloud and my top complimented perfumes out of many. It's definitely a crowd pleaser type of fregrance. It's very non offensive in my opinion. I'm comfortable wearing it to work without bothering ppl by my perfume. I'm very sensitive to perfumes triggering headaches and migraines even, this perfume never bothers my existing headaches or triggers them.If I wear to ... MoreThis has become a regular for me, along with cloud and sweet like candy.

It's sweet but and feeling clean, also a little warm coziness with the hint of marshmallow and vanilla. There are No old lady smell vibes. It's all sweet, fruity, and clean, with just that touch of gourmand marshmallow and vanilla. Great value for what you get.

Great Scent and Budget Friendly

I really like Sweet Like Candy and Cloud, which is one of my all time favorites, and I have heard that many people really liked this one from Ariana so I picked it up on my last visit. I wish there was a purse size of it because I prefer to have a collection of those vs bottles but the price for the 1.0 oz wasn't too bad. Ari seems to always have a sweetness factor to her fragrances, which is what seems to draw me in, but I did notice that this one tends to lean on the warmer side vs sweet - but it's a nice fragrance. I don't typically have issues with scents staying on me and this one is still present and we're going on about 4 hours now.

After wearing it for about 2 hours I finally figured out what it reminded me of...Flower Bomb. The tones are very similar but I felt like FB was way too strong and mature for me (and I'm 29) but this one is a lighter scent, less powdery/floral smelling, a bit more warm but not spicy and just a touch more sweeter. I have read some reviews saying they feel this is a very juvenile scent and I can see what they're saying but I can see myself wearing this throughout my 30's as well. I think it's fun, flirty and a perfect scent for any season, any time of day and any occasion.

Surprisingly nice

The very first impression of this was too sweet and musky for me, but I'm about 5 minutes, it transitioned to a light fruity floral that reminds me of a sweeter version of Pleasures from the 90s. I normally wear designer or niche fragrances. Some in my collection are Aesop Tacit, Gucci Memoire, Diptyque 34, and like everyone ever, Glossier You. This was a departure from my norm since it is so sweet and fruity, but it doesn't smell cheap and while not anything special or unique, it's pleasant and clean smelling. If it had stayed similar to the opening, I would have returned it, but once it mellows I think this is a good summer bbq or even office fragrance. I could see guys liking it because it's more gourmand and men seem to like fragrance that they could eat lol. ... MoreThe very first impression of this was too sweet and musky for me, but I'm about 5 minutes, it transitioned to a light fruity floral that reminds me of a sweeter version of Pleasures from the 90s.

This is what Barbie would wear

It's a cute scent, but I noticed I smelled like plastic the first few minutes. It's the same plastic smell you come across when opening toys/Barbies. It fades after a while, leaving behind the candy smell for a bit. Blue Jolly Ranchers to be specific.The smell doesn't last very long. It's the type of perfume you need to reapply every couple of hours.I did wear this multiple days to give it a chance. I tried it over lotion to help it last longer with no luck. I set aside my clothes the night before and sprayed it, which did help the scent last longer, but not by much.If I could get it to last, I would repurchase. If you can get over the plastic smell it's actually nice. Who wouldn't want to smell like candy?Knocked off 1 star due to lasting power, and another ... MoreIt's a cute scent, but I noticed I smelled like plastic the first few minutes.
