Ariana Grande Ari Eau De Parfum Spray 100 ml

Product Information

I like that this is a more unisex offering from Ari's lineup. It starts off almost like warm aftershave... In a nice, sweet, cozy way. The caramel and what I suppose is the zefir becomes more evident in the drydown after some of the aromatic top notes wear off, leaving mostly sweetness with a bit of lavender. It's a soothing fragrance that feels like a hug. Sweeter (and more wearable on me) than Replica Coffee Break. Ariana Grande CLOUD is a joyful, new creation inspired by optimism and hope. This dreamy new bottle design stands apart from her existing fragrances. The uplifting and addictive new scent imbues a thoughtful, artistic expression of positivity and happiness from Ariana to her fans. Features On first spray, it’s all sweet lavender and salt. I’m not usually a fan of sweet lavender but this really does it for me. The caramel and marshmallow do make it sweet, but it’s not cloying. It reminds me of a dessert you’d get at a Michelin starred restaurant. Like a salted caramel and lavender s’more with tonal creme under a salt dome with sandalwood air upon removing the dome. The dry down is like a cozy hug. I like some sweetness to my perfumes, but I like it cut by other interesting notes, so I generally can't stand things like Pink Sugar or Ariana's Sweet Like Candy that are pure sugar. But, while waiting for a friend, I tried REM on a whim because the bottle was so pretty, and wow, talk about love at first sniff. i see so many negative comments on this perfume but personally i love this perfume! i wish it had better longevity but otherwise it is really good! it does have that cologne smell but i find it kinda admirable.

It takes some getting used to. I'm really confused by the notes listed here because I thought the "thank you, next" perfume smell very buttery and salty. I didn't smell any saltiness or butter in this at all. I was interested in trying this perfume, as I kept hearing online reviewers as well as people on the database say that Ariana Grande R.E.M. is unusual and... leans masculine? I knew I had to test it out.

I think R.E.M. gets a bad rep because people tend to associate lavender notes with colognes, which is why they find this scent masculine. Now I love lavender & unisex scents. I own Coffee Break, Libre, and Libre Intense, and I think R.E.M. uses a lavender note that smells quite expensive. I would label it a feminine-leaning unisex fragrance because it smells a bit too sweet for a cologne. I don’t get dryer sheets or essential oils from this at all. I get a beautiful lavender, salt, zefir, tonka bean and caramel opening that dries down to a sweet, clean, white musk. This doesn’t smell like any other perfume in my collection, including Coffee Break, which could be R.E.M.’s cousin, but is different enough due to the coffee and milk notes.

The touch of gourmand is heightened to a truly sophisticated level with a heart of Orris Butter, decadent White Praline.I haven’t been so driven to impulse buy something I tried since I sampled Fluer Musc from Narcisco Rodriguez.

Ariana Grande’s newest fragrance, Thank U, Next bursts opens with juicy notes of sparkling white pear and wild raspberry that soften with a heart of creamy coconut and delicate pink rose petals. Divine velvety musk infuses classic Ari sass, while macaroon sugar adds playful femininity. Full of attitude, full of sweetness.

I would do 2 or 3 sprays of R.E.M for 7 sprays of Cloud (yes I'm an oversprayer 🙈). I found that it amped up the lavender in Cloud and made it less sweet. I would get compliments from my therapist, coworkers and a friend that doesn't even like sweet scents that much.

While it isn't very strong it has lasted on my skin for most of the day, and for the cost it wouldn't bother me having to overspray this a bit to smell it well. Not in love though, and not sure I want a full bottle, but I will keep trying the tester in case it grows on me. I really love this salty lavender perfume. It's a rather weird concept, but it's the first thing I can detect. The salt, which rounds off the lavender, and gives the quince that gourmand taste, like fruit with a little salt. I can also smell some coconut,(which is more like the milkiness of the fig), so I understand the comparison with the Cloud. But it has nothing to do with it.

Expressive And Vibrant, Mod Vanilla Opens With A Luscious Blend Of Juicy Dark Plum And Creamy Musks Heightened By A Luminous Touch Of Pink Freesia. I received a tester of this one and have been wearing it all day. It's quite nice, not my favourite scent, but it's pleasant to sit in. I agree that it leans more unisex than feminine.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

This is a really reassuring and romantic perfume, in that sense. Very bold for an affordable, celebrity fragrance. It's great for linen too--- spray your bedsheets and have the sweetest dreams. MM's Coffee Break is a smoother, unisex lavender perfume but it does have masculine undertones too. If you find that R.E.M is too masculine, you might have the same opinion on Coffee Break. To me, it even smells like it could fit a more mature young man? IMO, R.E.M could suit a boy in his late teens - early 20's whereas Coffee Break would best fit a young man getting close to 25 or even older. Coffee Break is still relaxed and youthful but it's definitely more mature too. R.E.M is sweeter and still has that "one of my very first perfumes" vibe.
