Best of Ariana's fragrances, all rolled into one

Mod Vanilla smells like a blend of several other Ariana Grande perfumes. The juicy fruitiness from God is a Woman, but with Moonlight's dark plum instead of GIAW's pear, mixed with the whipped cream and pleasantly plasticy notes of Cloud. Compared to Cloud, this one has much less in common with the famous Baccarat Rouge 540, instead it has a lot of vanilla (as one would expect from the name).

If you have never smelled any of these, Mod Vanilla is a creamy vanilla and white musk scent with a fresh, juicy, slightly shampoo-ish plum on top. The other notes are subtle, but not unnoticeable. Freesia creates a bit of watery freshness, orris makes the scent slightly cool and powdery, but the cocoa butter adds really nice touch of extra warm creaminess. All in all this is more of a base-heavy scent. It is gourmandish, but too clean to be completely edible.

I was positively surprised by this. Most of Ariana's fragrances are pretty nice to me, but none of them is a true love. This comes close. I think the whole is more than the sum of its parts here. There are moments, especially in the opening and the far drydown, where I'm really smitten by the scent. But in the mid phase, the plum and the medicinal Cloud vibes are a little too intense for my taste, so overall, it's still a like and not a love. I guess I would have loved it if the creaminess was amped up further.

If you already have several Ariana perfumes, this doesn't bring anything new to the table, but if you don't, it's certainly worth a try.

Cozy bedtime scent

After sampling over and over and over... I'm caving and buying a bottle. This reminds me of refrigerated mochi: 'bouncy', fluffy, cool, and fun. Compared to Eilish, this is more musky even though you could say they're in the same 'family' of non-gourmand, young, slightly fruity vanilla. I prefer this one for hot weather and bedtime. Both are lovely and affordable to pick up a 1oz as a nice gift!

ETA: I don't agree with comparisons to Cloud beyond a 'sweet musk' thing that's at the heart of the entire AG brand. Cloud has the 'bandaid' smell, and the lavender is a little herbaceous... Mod Vanilla is sweet musk with a bit of airy floral. So if you didn't like Cloud (like me) you might love this - or try the new Cloud Pink, which is a tropical version of this.

A good dupe for Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk

When I first smelled the mod perfumes at ulta I originally liked mod blush more, but after taking them home I fell in love with mod vanilla.

Mod vanilla is a lactonic vanilla scent that has, in my opinion, the perfect amount of sweetness. It is not cloying, powdery, or sugary sweet but it is not a 'dry' vanilla either.
When I first smelled it, it reminded me of something I had smelled before and liked, and after a bit of rumination it hit me - it is reminiscent of Ellis Brooklyn's vanilla milk! Those who like vanilla milk but are not looking to break the bank will surely like this. Anyone who is looking for a sweet vanilla fragrance that is not powdery will also enjoy Mod Vanilla.
For anyone worried, the plum note is not strong or distracting; this fragrance does not come off as fruity.
It comes across as youthful, but not exceedingly so - this fragrance will fit anyone of any age, although those who are looking for a fragrance that is intentionally trying to come across as mature may want to keep seeking.
This fragrance is inoffensive and safe for almost all occasions.
In my opinion, this fragrance would be especially perfect for a staycation, a chill date at a coffee shop, or a relaxing Saturday afternoon. It is cozy, warm, and inviting.

A Cloud flanker no doubt

My boyfriend bought me this perfume for my birthday. I had already sprayed Mod Vanilla once on myself while shopping at a Shopper's Drug Market and I found it quite nice. In search of a lighter vanilla for the warmer weather, I thought it would fit the bill.

The bottle by itself looks like a nice Art Nouveau decoration, but it is a bit plasticky when you're holding it. The bottle is not ergonomic in the least: it's big and I held it clumsily. I wish the design had been better.

I once had Cloud Eau de Parfum in my collection, but I took it out because there was a note in there that was no longer enjoyable. Mod Vanilla is Cloud without that displeasing, dissonant and jarring note. I have a feeling the lavender note was the culprit, but I'm still not sure. Anyways, with Mod Vanilla, we've got a lovely soft and airy candy-like scent. Sweet without being too cloying or powdery, it has a nice cotton-candy sweetness to it that makes me want to wear it during warmer weathers. I could smell the plum, but nothing that made it veer off into fruity territory. It's pretty linear during most of the time it stayed on my skin, but the drydown became this cozy, buttery sweet sort of vanilla. It's quite nice and comforting overall.

It' a lovely young (but not juvenile) fragrance that a lot of people could wear. A safe blind-buy for most, I think.

My Favourite Perfume!!

I asked for this as a Christmas present despite never smelling it before and I'm so glad I did. It's been my most worn perfume since December!

To me, it smells slightly sugary at first but dries down into a more creamy, airy vanilla scent. It's very clean girl-esque, if that makes sense. It's more musky and light rather than a deep, gourmand vanilla- which I love!

It lasts forever, too! It lasts at least eight hours on my skin and I can smell it on my clothes a day after wearing it. I've also gotten multiple compliments when wearing it out in public, so this sillage is really good as well.

pretty vanilla, powdery and sweet! Tested it in the store and liked it but not so much to justify buying at retail.

It could almost pass as a flanker to Cloud Eau de Parfum . A nicer, softer airy vanilla without the lavender note.

Obsessed. I get about 90% vanilla, 5% coconut, 5% pink floral, and 100% delicious. Literally mouthwatering. Lasts forever too.

Easily my favourite of Ms Grande's perfumes. Airy-sweet + powdery, with creamy-fruity plum. Very easy to wear and quite addictive.

Straight up smelled like sugar to me when I tried it, which is nice I guess.

I REALLY wanted to like this, but it just smells like a very synthetic, cheap, plastic-like version of Cloud. Too redundant.

I don't love the top notes but it dries down into a beautiful, warm, cozy vanilla.

Mod Vanilla is such a good fragrance. It’s soft, calming, and gentle. Mod Vanilla is one of my personal favorite fragrances and plan to get Cloud next

Warm comforting musk smell, but still sweet and vanilla. It's addictive in a way. I don't want to wear this but I want someone close to me to wear it.
