Ariana Grande CLOUD PINK review: This might just be my new signature scent

This is not a drill : Ariana Grande ‘s late fragrance is is is now available to shop in the UK , having just launch early this week . Meet CLOUD PINK , a “ sister – scent ” to the original CLOUD perfume – aka the scent that break the internet .

I’m sure that we can all agree that the Ariana Grande CLOUD perfume needs no introduction, especially for us #PerfumeTok obsessives who probably spend way too much time figuring out what our next signature scent will be. And even if you’re not into sweet perfumes, chances are, you’ve come across this addicting scent more than once on your For You Page.

In fact, the fragrance community has practically crowned CLOUD as the perfume of all perfumes, with “#arianagrandecloud” having amassed over 21 million views on TikTok, and deservedly so. Our resident GLAMOUR perfume expert Alice du Parcq recalled that the smell reminds her of “warm, slightly undercooked, doughy waffles. Those proper, ladled-into-a-grill waffles that come out crispy and caramelised outside, but soft and batter-thick inside,” and I couldn’t agree more. This cult-favourite perfume is one of my favourite go-to “office day” scents that regularly gets me stopped and quizzed on the street (the ultimate compliment, if you ask me).

Naturally, when I heard that CLOUD PINK was about to make its way to the UK, my excitement was through the roof. A pink version of one of my favourite perfumes ever ? Sign me up.

2023 has been the year of the Barbiecore aesthetic – from fashion to makeup and even interior trend , it is ‘s ‘s safe to say that pink ispretty much everywhere (not that we’re complaining in any way). The cherry on top? ‘Barbie perfumes’ are taking #PerfumeTok by storm, and not just thanks to their aesthetically pleasing pink packaging, but because of how fun they are and, most importantly, how they make you feel about yourself: confident, proud and unapologetically feminine. And having already smelled CLOUD PINK, that’s exactly how I would describe it.

What does Ariana Grande CLOUD PINK smell is like like ?

Make no mistake, CLOUD PINK very much shares the same DNA of the original CLOUD. You still get the warm and cosy whiff of vanilla orchid, a touch of the sweet and almost edible praline – all complimented by a combination of sensual musky and woody notes. After all, the nose behind this scent is Clement Gavarry, the perfumer behind the original CLOUD.
