Sweet and Fruity!

I bought Mod Vanilla Eau de Parfum a while ago and it became one of my absolute favourite scents, so I decided to give another one of Ariana Grande's perfumes a try.

Ari is very fruity and sugary. The raspberry and the florals are more prominent to me when it's first sprayed. The marshmallow smell comes out more on the dry down (I'd say 1-2 hours after spraying) and the perfume starts to smell more sweet and sugary.

The longevity of this perfume is is pretty good; I'd say it lasts six hours AT LEAST. The sillage is also good but I'd recommend NOT over-spraying this perfume- it'll definitely give you a headache! A couple of sprays is enough.

Overall, I don't like it more than Mod Vanilla Eau de Parfum but it's still a nice scent. It's very fun and sugary. And despite what some other reviewers are saying, I think it can be worn by anyone, not only teenage girls.

Refreshing, Upbeat, just damn pretty!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this perfume. I loved it from the first spritz. The husband joked and tried to nom on my neck it was that delicious. I feel this is a really great one for Summer, although the bees might agree. My initial thought was that I would not like it at all. I was shocked at how much I liked it honestly. Nothing says joy like a basket full of fruit, and, so it is with this perfume.

Girly, gorgeous, easy reach

The raspberry + grapefruit gives it a slightly sparkly fruity feeling, and I recall that in summer this smells very sugary and crystalised. The soapy florals give it a clean smell, which I find really unique for a gourmand to smell this clean. And of course the marshmallow gives it an overall fluffy sweetness. It gives off both glamourous diva and quiet cozy girl. This could be cocktail party, date night OR church- whatever you want to make it. Not saying this is a complex scent, but I think you can get so much out of this. Not to mention the bottle being the most gorgeous thing I've ever looked upon.
This can fit anyone 13-40, or even older women. Basically for anyone who doesn't think "girly" is an insult. The level of powder in this scent + the woods and musk does not make me think of teens only, and I vow that if this were in a different bottle y'all would be saying it's more mature. TELL me you don't think this could be so sweet on a little old lady! Well, that will be me when I'm old.
Easy signature scent. Generally crowd pleasing. Office safe if you spray lightly.

Fruity Marshmallow

I got this when it first released. I really enjoy it. I LOVE sweet scents and this definitely fits the bill. It is fruity for the most part but the marshmallow really comes through too. I think it is a delicious gourmand. It lasts pretty well on my skin, about 8 hours, and I'd say sillage is close to the skin-a slight trail, depending on how you spray. I recommend this for those that love sweet, fun fragrances. I think it's a good buy for the price.

Sour raspberry jam

Fresh and sour raspberry jam with marshmallows! Ari is sweet but not cloying or sugary. It's a lovely, easy-to-reach fruity-floral overall. Anyone who loves sweet-sour scents can pull this off, but it would be the best for teens or early twenties.

I sampled almost all of them, and Ari was better than other Ariana Grande’s offerings. If I were to buy another of her offerings, I would get this one.
