Thank U, Next Ariana Grande 2019 Eau de Parfum

I've liked a few of the other Ariana Grande scents, so I definitely wanted the "Thank U, Next".

Even though the frame that comes with it is plastic, it has a very high quality finish and is pretty to look at. I've read online that a lot of people don't find the plastic container that intoxicating, if not unnecessary. I, on the other hand, think it's innovative and practical. I am in love with the design of the bottle. I like the light pink "Barbie kitsch" with the broken heart where the bottle sits safe and sound.

When I first sprayed it, the first thing I noticed was a very spicy, pungent note that reminded me of dill or pickles. To be honest, I was a bit startled. I wasn't expecting the acrid smell and I also find the top note scent extremely unpleasant, I must honestly confess. I thought at first, with my (actually well-functioning) nostrils something is wrong, on the other hand, I thought it unlikely that I imagined the whole thing.
After a while, the fragrance developed to the luck in another direction. It follows a transformation into a warm, delicious pastry with raspberry aroma and coconut topping. I find this to be a happy turn of events, because sweet scents are totally my thing. The scent invites you to snuggle up with its lovely and romantic charm in the heart notes, where the coconut scent comes out really rich. Yum! (As a side note, I have to fit into my wedding dress in May, but I can't stop thinking about lemon rolls and banoffee tartelettes, haha!)
On his own, my fiancé complained about this perfume, saying that it came across as too extreme and artificial. He found him on me unfortunately not so good - Too bad.

All in all, Thank U, Next is an interesting, synthetic and sweet gourmand that stands out from ottonormal perfumes. I feel that Ariana Grande has changed the "game" of celebrity fragrances with her line of scents, setting a higher standard for other celebrities (because every celebrity has to launch multiple fragrances). Alone the design and the different compositions of the fragrance components are worth the purchase and that still at an affordable price.
Is Thank U, Next my favorite fragrance? No, unfortunately it isn't. Why? Personally, it takes a little too long to transform into the raspberry macaron with coconut topping that I crave. I really love that many are celebrating the scent. Unfortunately, because I find the top note relatively annoying, which is absolutely my personal problem (I just can't handle that dill-gherkin association) I don't know yet if I'll reach for this scent often. I thought R.E.M. and Cloud were extremely cool, so I'm excited to see what Ariana comes out with next.
Next, please!
