Mod Vanilla taks the creamy & sweet base of Cloud 2.0, coupled with the powdered florals & plum from Moonlight - so if you enjoy those fragrances, you'll most likely enjoy this too. Cloud 2.0 is my favourite Ariana Grande perfume and I also enjoyed Moonlight scent-wise, so I do enjoy Mod Vanilla on one hand, but I'm also a bit disappointed by the lack of originality here. The biggest 'meh' here is the so-so longevity & lack of projection; it wears for around 6 hours and has a quiet aura - I struggle to detect it on myself after 2/3 hours, altough other people have complimented it after up to 6 hours after application.

Okay, band aid off; the Mod duos are only available in 100ml bottles costing £53 each, so there has been a price increase coupled with less purchase options. The ideal scenario is that you are meant to buy both perfumes for layering together, so we definitely need smaller & less pricey options for purchasing them - and duo pack options too.......

ok so I have always been a fan of ari's perfumes( plus perfume in general im a young collecter). they were always my taste, long lasting, and a bang for ur buck. only problem Is my fav scent is vinalla and they had no options for a true sweet scent like that. I've Been on the hunt for a sweet yummy scent that didn't smell too gourmand while also manting a lovey sweet smell. This perfume not only does that but includes my other fav notes and blends them together perfectly. its sweet, fruity and a little floral. it's sits closely too skin and clothes lasting long and Turing heads while not being overpowering. it doesn't smell to young or too old and isn't too much on any of the notes. I love too pair it with sol jenrio perfume and eos cashamre vinalla lotion.(God send ...

I truly recommend this too any age Group of people who are looking for a sweet scent, it's not only my fav ari perfume but it's turning out too be my favorite perfume I own.... Show more

Everyone needs this
I want to start by saying this is not a dupe for AG Cloud. Though they do have similarities, they're not the same or even close. They're both warm sweet scents. But Cloud is more inviting, warm, cozy, snuggle up with your significant other on a cold winter day, mixed with that medicinal masculine plastic smell that makes it so unique. Mod Vanilla is sweet, an all year round scent, but a little more fresh, slightly more youthful, and light, while still packing a punch with the scent it leaves behind. If you're a sweet vanilla lover, you need this. If you own Cloud, you still need this. I sprayed it on my jacket TWO WEEKS ago and I can still smell it, I've gotten four compliments from random people, and I can't stop smelling myself lol. It's so good. It's light on the ...

It's light on the skin, but has great lasting power on clothing. It's much lighter and sweeter than 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods. Try out the travel spray they have in stores if you're hesistant. You won't be disappointed!!... Show more

In my top 3 from Ari
Let me clear up some of the odd reviews. Yes, everyone's nose is different but here is my take. For starters, it does not smell like Cloud. Similar base notes yes, but no - it's not Cloud. Yes, it is sweet. Yes, it IS reminiscent of Sweet Like Candy, however - the passionfruit note is what really steps the game up here with this fragrance. It's classy, more grown up and sophisicated for a fruity scent. It is not overly floral, it's rather juicy and dries to a nice soft vanila skin scent. No, in my opinion, it is not a sharp scent. Some people may compare it to Bombhshell by VS, because of the passionfruit note - but it is not so alike because of the sweeter characteristics this has. Bombshell is fresh, whereas this Mod Blush is fresh/sweet.... Show more

Lasting power is stronger than any other of her scents.
I spray perfume on the inside of my elbows before I go to bed. I like to do it with my new perfumes most of the time to get an idea of what it dries down to. When I first spray it it smells wonderful. Fruity & sweet with a bit of flower. After about 20 minutes I could only smell fresh menthol cigarettes, as soon as you open a pack it's the whiff. I quit smoking years ago but I'll never forget that scent. I hoped that when I woke up it'd shift into something more pleasant for me but it didn't. The next day, after showering I used God Is A Woman & again I sprayed it into my elbows, went to work at 9 & was about to take a lunch when I wanted to make a coworker smell GIAW when I noticed I could Still smell some of this stuff.

I can smell the chocolate but its just not a good combo for me.... Show more

Love!
This smells like god is a women with more vanilla + plum instead of rose. I personally like this more than giw. I wasn't a fan of the way the orris root smelled with the rose in giw. But this one is so cozy! It has the praline from cloud and the orris root from giw. But the way they paired it with the deep plum, cocoa butter, and musk is so beautiful. Sweet but more mature sweet. Not heavy. I like more airy scents. Definitely recommend as an everyday wear especially in the colder months. I can't stop smelling myself and getting compliments at work! I think if you like cloud and the orris root from giw you will love this! To me is smells very different than cloud so I'm fine owning both. The longevity is pretty good I get compliments even after 6 hours. I can smell ... MoreThis smells like god is a women with more vanilla + plum instead of rose. I personally like this more than giw.

My favorite rose perfume EVER!!
I'll admit that I didn't go into this with super high expectations. I read a TON of reviews that favored Mod Vanilla, so imagine how surprised I was when this ended up being my favorite out of the Mod duo!! Mod Blush starts off very citrusy and fruity; the bergamot and passion fruit are both very detectable, and they stay prominent through the perfume's lifespan. Very shortly after, the rose and pear join in, and that's when it becomes heavenly to me. I normally don't like rose in fragrances at ALL!! But the rose here is so subtle, smooth and gentle... the way it mixes with the pear is simply divine. When it's fully dried down, you can definitely smell the musk, woody notes and ambroxan. It lasted on my skin for around 6-8 hours, which is above average for an Ariana ... MoreI'll admit that I didn't go into this with super high expectations.

It lasted on my skin for around 6-8 hours, which is above average for an Ariana Grande perfume on my skin!! Overall, while not being the most complex or unique perfume ever, it's fun, done well, and definitely crowd pleasing! I could honestly see myself wearing this all year round. My only complaint is with the bottle; it looks very cute, but it's difficult to find the right angle to hold/spray it from. Of course, if I'm going to review Mod Blush, I also have to talk about its counterpart, Mod Vanilla. To me, Mod Vanilla is a mixture of Cloud and Sweet Like Candy, with a hint of a tropical & powdery vibe that makes it wearable all year round... which is perfectly fine! But not something I'd say I need in my collection, considering that Cloud is much longer lasting and a fragrance that I already own. (Mod Vanilla only lasts for around 4 hours on me.) The two Mod perfumes are very different, but there's definitely something in both of them that makes them feel like sisters, so it makes sense that they were released together! Mod Vanilla is a very powdery vanilla, while Mod Blush is a fruity rose. Both are year-round for me, but I definitely prefer Mod Blush, since it both lasts longer and managed to pull off a rose note in a way that I truly love!! In a weird way, Mod Blush is almost what I initially expected Thank U Next to smell like, if that makes sense. In conclusion, if you want a fun citrusy/fruity rose perfume, go with Mod Blush! If you don't have Cloud or Sweet Like Candy and want a powdery vanilla perfume in your collection, go with Mod Vanilla! That's all I have to say for now.... Show more

NEW PERFUME BUT BETTER THAN EVER!
This came in earlier than expected. I bought it with not knowing the smell or anything so basically it was a blind purchase. When I tell you that THIS perfume HAS to be her best.. I MEAN IT! The smell is much different than her other fragrances, it's more mature and more powerful smelling, very feminine type. The box reminds me of the thank u, next perfume. The fact this fragrance lasts long is AMAZING because her other perfumes don't last on me at all. I haven't smelled the Vanilla one so I can't say anything about it. But the Blush mod is very good and has a very pleasing smell. It's very mature like God is Woman & Cloud but even better in my opinion. It's very much different.

Sweet and worth a try
I am a gourmand lover. I love sweet everything. I find a lot of floral fragrances give me an instant migraine. I havent found the perfect spring and summer scent..scents... until now. If you sound like me and you do not typically go for notes like rose and pink pepper (two notes I avoid like the plague), I still urge you to test this perfume in store for yourself. From the initial marketing I was certain I wouldn't have interest in Mod Blush, only Mod Vanilla. Boy, was I wrong! Mod Vanilla is alright and Blush is INCREDIBLE. It has a sweet and fizzy passionfruit opening, soft dewy fresh rose heart and a smooth woody drydown. I was terrified the passionfruit would smell off. Passionfruit sometimes smells like sweaty feet to me. But this is bright. Like opening a ... MoreI am a gourmand lover. I love sweet everything.

It gives you a sweet nose tickle in the opening and to my nose the floral in here is very light and refreshing as well. It doesn't go sharp for me as I had imagined it would. A lovely surprise.

This smells really good!!
First off, I'm not some fan girl lol, I like Ariana's music and think she's extremely talented! I'm 42 yrs old and just love buying different types of perfumes! This is such a beautiful scent to me it's sweet in a good way. Not overbearing at all and doesn't trigger my migraines. That's a huge plus! This is the way I imagined vanilla should smell like for me personally...sweet, warm, musk, sexy! As far as the performance it's getting an A+...I work in a hospital 12 hour shift and I could still smell the perfume on both my arms where I sprayed 12 hours prior so the lasting power is there. Lastly, I don't think this smells anything like cloud. I bought cloud about 3 years ago and I also own baccarat rouge 540, the original fragrance cloud is a dupe of, and I can tell ...
