Sweet Holy Grail
I have tested myself through some candy-like fragrances and have ultimately landed at SLC.
The bottle is lovely in a soft pastel pink. The round-cubic, crystal-esque shape of the bottle is handy and the plush pompom takes the cake in terms of cuteness. If the bottle is empty at some point, I clip the pastel pompom to my handbag for the extra portion of kitsch in everyday life, which is reflected in my clothing style now and then (but well thoughtfully dosed!) Gladly times.

The fragrance corresponds to the appearance of the bottle and especially the name - Sweet like Candy. He reminds of gummy bears, marshmallows & Co. from beginning to end. Towards the end of the scent I perceive a little shisha smoke with wild berry aroma. Totally great! I'm not a shisha bar goer at all, but I find that a slightly smoky, wicked note adds a touch of sexiness to the scent. Overall, the fragrance comes across as pleasant and in no way overbearing.
The durability and sillage are decent for the price range. In my opinion, all Ariana fragrances tested by me have this quality.

SLC is supposed to be a fragrance twin to Juicy Couture's "Viva La Juicy Sucré", which can be found online partout no longer at acceptable prices, because it is no longer produced. Fortunately, I was able to get hold of an empty 50ml bottle of Sucré via Ebay that still has some scent left. Great similarities are definitely there on a cursory residual sniff, except that the Sucré seems much creamier. (It's okay though, I'll get over that pain with VLJ Sucré eventually. Someday. Maybe.)
Anyway, I'm very happy with Ariana Grande's alternative.

I can see a clear similarity to various Victoria's Secret fragrances; they definitely have a comparable vibe, here at Parfumo I think they call it "DNA". From the fragrance components as well as the seduction potential, there are definitely similarities.

Apparently the SLC is a scent that men might notice, because I got a compliment from someone who is generally VERY sparing with adulation. His, "Mhhh... What smells so good on you? What is that perfume? Riiiiiiiighty good..." was kind of an accolade for me.
In conclusion, SLC is my favorite Ariana scent and clearly up to this point my holy grail as far as sweet scents go.

Sexy - green - smoky
Yes, the fragrance, like all of Ariana's, is sweet. Who is surprised at the name. But I smell more than only strawberry cotton candy,
I find it sexy, because somehow smoky. And also green notes meet me when sniffing.
It's more complex than the name suggests, and I don't think it should be labeled as a teen scent.
I am not a frangipani fan, but here it is well used, sexy and not overloaded.

If you like sweet and sexy, feel free to give this one a try.
For a celebrity fragrance, really good.
Not to speak of the great bottle :)

From the durability he is okay, but not so mega Dauerbrenner.

In a bad mood you always put a smile on my face!:)
When I'm in a bad mood, Sweet like Candy is such a scent that I come down again and put a smile on my face:))) It cheers me up and makes me somehow just happy:))) It gives me hopes that, even if you might be annoyed for the whole day or if the sun was shining again the next day... To be honest I don't know why of all things THIS scent can make me happy, so far I can't really explain it to myself...Do you have a question about any scent that makes you smile while sniffing at the bottle? Would I be interested in mega!:) I love ALL my scents! And everyone makes me happy too, but SLC has something magical about it!:)

Sometimes when I have appointments means I haven't slept so well in the night then this scent is like coffee for me:D Admittedly I had ordered this perfume blind...
Since I have heard only good about it (I must also admit that I love the Ariana Grande fragrances:)) so I immediately ordered the 100ml Falkon... I know I'm crazy but don't care:D When the package arrived I was really looking forward to it!) Unfortunately the lid of the bottle was broken and the packaging was also not in the best condition:( What I found mega annoying...
I could digest it more or less because the content was more important for me at that moment.

I immediately notice the bergamot with the pear when I spray on it. They are very fresh, but it also has a slight sour note (meant positive!) Every time I spray this perfume on, I enjoy the bergamot:) It refreshes my senses and makes me feel more awake. The pear is also there more refreshing and slightly sweetish which I personally like better:) I couldn't smell Jasmin out of there now, she was rather in the background. I think the Marshmallow note is also very fine:) It's not an artificial marshmallow note much, more of a sweet and fluffy marshmallow:D I think my good mood comes from the marshmallow note;D I can smell the vanilla quite discreetly on my skin. But even since there is no severe headache or vanilla much more a baby - powder vanilla:))))

The Ariana Grande fragrances remind me easily of the Juicy Couture fragrances... What I do not find bad now but that, newest are these smells now also again not! Still, there's nothing you can do wrong with this scent. I wear it when I'm in a bad mood, sometimes when I'm shopping or when I don't know exactly what to wear in the morning, then I often go for it:) H+S is OK! 4-5 hours I can smell it on my skin on the clothes but 2.hours longer.

It’s so yummie, fluffy and sweet.
This could be a lifer if just the projection and longevity was better.
It’s so yummie, fluffy and sweet.
Get mostly marshmallow, berry/fruity and vanilla with just a hint of florals.
It's girly but sexy at the same time, i love it.
Layers really well with Juliette has a gun Miss Charming, those two together makes Sweet like Candy more mature with a lovely rose.

Lovely layering scent
I absolutely love this scent. Sure, it's a bit girlish - but it's delicate and sweet and honestly makes me feel like a princess. It can always be dressed up and provides a beautiful marshmallow-y base to build on. And the price is absolutely fantastic! It's definitely something I will be repurchasing.

This is a sugary, tart berry scent with a creamy background. Works throughout the whole year, a cozy scent.

Love this smell!! I’m so sad that it just disappears on my skin and my clothes. If only it would last more then 20 seconds.
