Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum – Warm Gourmand Fragrance for Women – Women’s Perfume with Notes of Lavender, Coconut, Vanilla & Pear

Heaven In a Bottle — Great For Ages 20+
UPDATE: I just bought R.E.M. If you are trying to decide between Cloud and R.E.M., get Cloud. They are both absolutely outstanding, but Cloud has better projection. Apart from that, they’re equals in my book. Also, a lot of people think that R.E.M. smells like Cloud but it absolutely does not. Not even close. Cloud is sweeter while R.E.M. is more clean and delicate. They are both must haves. I do not get masculine vibes from either perfume. I wouldn’t call them “girly” but they are DEFINITELY feminine. I own Cloud, R.E.M., Ari, and Sweet Like Candy (I have Moonlight on the way), and Cloud and R.E.M. are my favorites. They’re perfection.In this review I’m going to talk about:-Who I see this would be good for-What season/occasion would this be good for-Scent-Projection-Sillage (often gets confused with projection, but they are different)-Longevity-How I feel when I wear it-Do I like itOkay here we go. For starters, who would Cloud be good for?I personally see this as a fragrance that will be well suited for anyone 20 and above. If you are a teenager, sure you can get away with wearing this, but I think you’ll be looked at like you’re trying too hard to seem grown. You’ll smell good, yes, but this fragrance is very much so out of your league. This is a grown woman fragrance. This is a “I bought this with my own hard earned money because I’m a boss” fragrance.This is a fragrance for people with class, elegance, independence, and a “je ne sais quoi” type of mysterious quality.Cloud is at its best when it is worn in Fall and Winter, however, this is also something that can be worn at any time during the year. This is not a fragrance that you have to put away. This is something that you’ll want easy access to at all times throughout the year. You can wear this on casual days, formal days, to work, to bed, to get groceries, to go on a date, to go to an interview, etc. This can easily become someone’s “signature scent” as it is clean, classy, warm, and welcoming. It is well rounded and extremely versatile. You will never be seen as inappropriate for wearing this fragrance, no matter what you’re doing.The SCENT!!!!!Upon first spritz, it’s like you immediately leave your body and enter heaven. Every time I spray it, I smile. All I want to do is sniff myself. It is magical, it is alluring, it is ethereal, and it is mysterious to the point where I really cannot tell you what it smells like in its opening. It simply smells amazing. This scent lasts for about an hour, and then you are met with a sensual, warm vanilla gourmand with marshmallows, but it is not overwhelming, headache inducing, or annoying. It is light, whipped, and airy. When I smell this on myself, it makes me feel like I smell kind, gentle, tolerant, empathetic, forgiving, welcoming, and also so incredibly sexy, confident, and slightly dangerous in a good way. This scent will attract many compliments, many double takes, many stares, and people will come up to you because you have a beautiful aura that is comforting and safe to them. Wear this when you want positive attention and loving hugs.Projection: (Projection is how far the scent reaches beyond your body)In the first hour, the projection is moderate. A very good moderate. People will notice your scent if they are 6ft away or less. It will be unmistakable that it is you who smells good.After the first hour, once the fragrance starts to become the whipped gourmand scent, this perfume becomes very close to the skin. This is a GOOD thing (with this type of scent) because it will make people want to lean in to you. They will be intrigued and curious. The scent will be more intimate and personal, like a cute secret that only you and your partner know about. When sprayed on clothing, in my opinion, the projection does not change. If it does, it’s only a little bit.Sillage: (Sillage is how well and how long the scent stays in an area after you have left the area)In the first hour, the sillage is stunning. After an hour of spraying and leaving the room that you sprayed it in, when you walk back in, you will smell it and it will be divine. After the first hour, the sillage is poor. Extremely weak. There is little to absolutely no lingering scent in the air. But this makes sense because by now, the fragrance has become a skin scent. If you spray the perfume on clothing, the sillage is much better.Longevity: (Longevity is how long the fragrance lasts on the skin or clothing)On skin, the longevity is outstanding!!!!! I get a full 12 hours with this perfume. Throughout the day, you might feel like the scent is gone completely, and then you will randomly get these bursts of fragrance that pleasantly surprise you, and almost tickle you. It immediately perks up my mood when that happens. Towards the later hours of wear, you do have to really put your nose to your skin to smell it, but it is undeniably there.On clothing, the longevity is a BEAST!! I sprayed one spritz onto my hoodie, and then two days later I put that hoodie on without washing it first because I had barely worn it that first day, and the scent was still there!! Not only was it there, but it was obvious!!! It wasn’t shy or light. I didn’t have to search for the scent. It’s like the scent hit me in the face. I was so excited.How I feel when I wear it:Important, special, refined, clean, classy, feminine, elegant, beautiful, sexy, kind, warm, inviting, mysterious, alluring, independent, confident, happy.If it wasn’t obvious by the 5 stars and the review, I absolutely adore this fragrance!!! I own Cloud, Ari, and Sweet Like Candy. Among those three, Cloud is very clearly superior, and this review is coming from someone who loves sweet and gourmand perfumes. Cloud is the one. This is a SAFE BLIND BUY. Add it to your cart now. Thank me later.

Honest review
At first I thought I wasn’t gonna like it. The scent seemed too strong or masculine to me I was scared because I was expecting something SUPER feminine and girly. It was like a smell I couldn’t understand and very chemical when you smell it at the beginning. At the beginning you also smell the alcohol. BUT that’s Because I smelled it too fast when I put it on my skin, I mean just because I was excited. So if you spray it on your skin you should at least wait for it to dry a little bit first and mix with your pH and you will see the smell will be different. At least on my skin it was. It gets such a sweet smell. It’s has feminine tones when it dries but I definitely understand why some men are able to wear it only if they like super sweet scents. When the times passes it becomes sweeter. and I got obsessed with it. I love it so much now. Besides the first chemical smell I got from it at the beginning. I feel it smells somehow like roasted Marshmello. My brother said I smell like cotton candy or like a candy🍭 but in my perception is a sweet creamy smell but with a musky or mature scent at the end. I think that’s something that you should expect from this perfume, that it’s not just sweet, it has some mature / musky background that you can definitely perceive and in the last hours it’s like the last smell you get from it with a sweet smell, like a tiny bit of vanilla or something like that. It’s not a girly scent at the beginning, on my opinion, but it’s very sweet when it dries. I definitely see any age wearing this. After like 8 hours I can smell a TINY bit from it on my arm. But I think the smell is strong during five or six hours, going less string with each hour. And I think it last forever in clothes 😂 it’s such a baby smell after. Like a clean one. Almost reminds me to baby powder, the smell I got from a shirt after a lot of hours that I sprayed it and I can smell the sweet pear a little bit after the hours pass by. The smell changes depending where you spray it. For example in my shirt smells like baby powder after a lot of hours. But I think that’s because in clothes the smell only gets sweeter and sweeter . The first hours on my skin I love it, I got addicted. I think it can change with pH because I tried it on other people in my house and some of them took a nice citric side from the perfume. So I think it depends a lot from your skin

My favorite perfume
One of my favorite scents. It’s not too strong but just enough to get compliments every time I wear it.
