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.

Gourmand Sweet Fruity Candy Classic Year Round
I adore the candy-like notes of this fragrance which I think comes from blackberry, pear, blackcurrant liquor, and italian bergamot + marshmallow. The classic Ariana Grande perfume shape this perfume is in is super super cute for this scent specifically. I adore layering this scent with many body sprays, but this stands alone. I love it year-round. Its cozy, and sooo good. Reminds me of the One Direction scents from around the same time this came out. You can find this for pretty cheap at TJmax or Ross, so definitely check for it there. The body spray also holds up really well.

Sweet and Bright
This has been a go-to for me since it came out. I adore the bottle, and it got me into collecting fragrances. I love sweet scents and this one really hits that. To me, it is very bright and light. No heaviness here. The longevity on me is decent, about 5-6 hours. I'd say the sillage is close to the skin-arms length, depending. It's a great buy for the price in my opinion.

I love this so much I dream about it
Where do I even start with this fragrance. This is, most likely, in my top 5 fragrances. It is, as the name suggests, sweet like candy, not overpowering or sickeningly so. I find most of Ariana's fragrances have a powdery note, which I personally love. This one isn't super powdery but I think it has that quality to it, almost like a soft cloud. It melts into the skin really nicely, almost into a soft white musk-like scent, or skin-like but better. I really can't think of anything bad to say about it. I only had a roller ball of this and I was hooked, so I'll be purchasing a full size when I get the chance.

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

Syrupy sweet, blackcurrant and pear compote. It's a sweet and fun scent with performance that matches the affordable price

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.

Very much like the Ari scent, but the sweet raspberry of that one has been swapped here for a tart blackberry and cassis.

This is the definition of cloying imo… Viva La Juicy Sucré is a much better, elevated similar scent.

Very sweet like a sugared marshmallow. Youthful and adolescent in scent but it's very pretty.
