Cloud by Ariana Grande

I liked it before, but now that it’s become so mainstream, I just hate it.

I just bought Cloud at a department store, and right off the bat, the bottle design looks gorgeous and original; it looks incredible on my vanity. As for the scent, on my skin, coconut totally dominates. It’s a creamy, sweet, and comforting aroma that captivated me from the first spray. However, the longevity has been mixed: it barely lasts two hours on my skin. Plus, the sillage is very intimate; it doesn’t project much and stays almost glued to the skin from the start. What a pity because I love the composition, but it forces me to reapply constantly to keep it alive. Ideal for those looking for something subtle for indoors or who don’t mind touching up during the day.

I can’t stop smelling my hands… it’s delicious. At first, it smells like a pear and bergamot blend, then it shifts to a phase of coconut and whipped cream. The longevity on my skin is good; it’s a beautiful perfume.

It’s tasty, but it reminds me of laundry detergent.

I don’t smell any coconut in the perfume, just a dessert with a salty and woody touch. It smells unisex, but the longevity is terrible, lasting only 30 minutes to an hour with low sillage. I wish I could smell it again to give it another chance.

Well, this was one of my first perfumes and I have a lot of affection for it. My mom gave it to me for my birthday in April 2024 (in fact, I still have it because I was scared to use it, haha). I’ve heard it doesn’t last long, but on my skin it lasts over 6 hours and up to 10 on clothes. It leaves a moderate sillage, and I don’t apply much product. My cousin also has it, and it projects more on her, probably because she applies more and she almost finished the whole bottle in a month. As for the scent, I smell fresh pears and whipped cream. It reminds me a bit of VS Midnight Bloom, but it has a sweet dry-down where the cream, orchid, and pear stand out. To my taste, I don’t see it as totally gourmand, but rather a sweet, innocent girl scent. I recommend it as a gift for someone between 12 and 16 years old. Even if you’re over 18 and like this type of aroma, I recommend it because I enjoy it a lot despite being an adult. I bought it blind and don’t regret it. Although I admit it’s not one of the best, it’s a good option for the price. They say there are better Ariana fragrances, but you’d have to try them. So if you have the chance, give them a try and see which one you like more.

It smells great at first, but it’s generally a perfume that fails. After 15 minutes, you can tell, then it fades, and if you don’t focus, no one smells it. It doesn’t give compliments because it’s not noticeable. I want the same scent but with better longevity and trail. If I wear it with another perfume, it’s fine. Scent: 8.5/10, sillage and longevity: 1/10.

It’s a very particular perfume. I’ve read that it smells like urine or sweat, and indeed, it has hidden animalic notes that I absolutely love. It’s very versatile; I smell it differently depending on the day: sometimes fresh with a slight sweetness, other times the sweet gourmand explodes with the animalic notes. I prefer that version; it gives it more character and body. It’s not a new scent, but it’s exquisite and unique on every skin. At first, when they gave it to me, I didn’t use it because of the strong alcohol, but with a few sprays, it passes, and when it dries, it almost disappears completely. I think letting it marinate also works well. Without a doubt, I recommend it to niche lovers: it has that human and animal touch typical of niche fragrances without being heavy, and at a good price. Good buy, and I’d recommend it blind.

I’m writing again because I stopped using it for a while, and now that I’ve recovered it, things have changed. Before, I was disappointed by the longevity, but it was my fault: I used it cold, and it didn’t project. It’s a gourmand that isn’t overly sweet, it handles the heat without being suffocating, and the wood gives it body and beauty. The only downside is that synthetic coconut at the beginning, but it disappears when it dries and leaves a delicious scent. I don’t recommend it for the office because it vanishes in seconds; it’s ideal for the morning. It’s the least childish of Ariana’s perfumes, a real gem.

I loved it; it’s sweet and creamy. You can smell the pear and coconut, and the bergamot gives it freshness. At first, it smells a bit like alcohol, but it goes away quickly when it dries. It’s cheerful, perfect for spring or summer, but since it clashes with my vibe, I use it all year round.

I love it, smells authentic and sweet. I’m just sad it fades so quickly because I’d love to wear it all day. I used to pair it with Zara’s Red Temptation since they’re similar, but Cloud has that unique feminine and sweet touch.

The opening is very fresh and unisex; the lavender really gives it a crisp vibe. If you like sweet, vanilla, or gourmand scents, this is your summer perfume. Then comes that whipped cream creaminess, nothing excessive, literally tender whipped cream. I don’t detect coconut, but maybe it helps with the dry-down creaminess. After a while, it becomes almost imperceptible, but if you rub your wrist, it smells delicious, tender, and makes you wish it would last longer, which it doesn’t. Ariana falls short on longevity, barely making it three hours. I’d definitely buy it again, but with touch-ups. Maybe the original for wearing and a dupe for reapplying. I don’t recommend the body mist because the alcohol ruins everything.

I needed to leave a review. I bought it based on reviews without having heard of it before. At first, it ‘punched me in the face,’ very synthetic and reminiscent of Victoria Secret’s Midnight body cream, a dupe. I was expecting whipped cream, not body cream, so I was disappointed it was a scent I already knew. But when it settles on my clothes—since my skin eats everything up—I have to say it smells clean, sweet, tender, and personal. It doesn’t leave a trail, which I like; I don’t want to invade spaces. Only someone standing very close smells it, making it very intimate. It’s a common scent in the air, but depending on your skin, it can smell delicious. Lots of people wear it, so it won’t be memorable. P.S.: Does anyone know a dupe or something very similar to Ninna Ricci’s Luna? It was my personal scent, it’s discontinued, and I haven’t found anything equal. Thanks.

I love it, smells great, ideal for a little girl.

This is my Ariana Grande perfume! The first one I owned, and even though I have more of hers, this is the main one, haha. If I wear it, I feel it almost all day, and people notice too, so a 10/10.
