Ariana Grande Thank U Next

Thank U Next is the fabulous new fragrance from global phenomenon Ariana Grande.

Taking its name from her iconic song about moving on with your head held high following a break up, Thank U Next is a playful, feminine scent which is full of attitude and sass.

Created as a reflection of Ariana’s personal and professional journey, Thank U Next is all about going out and getting what you want. It’s about growing from the past, living life on your own terms and not being afraid to say THANK U, NEXT!

I love the cool, confident and empowering message that goes along with this fragrance and in true Ariana style, the bottle that houses the scent is as striking as the juice within!

Bursting out from a soft, matte, baby pink heart is the sleek, bold fragrance itself.

Shattering through the boldness of the heart the delicate, chic, pink glass bottle features a crystalline cap embossed with XOXO.

I love the multi textured elements of the bottle, reflecting the multi-faceted aspects of the Thank U Next woman and the imagery of the fragrance breaking the heart in two, showing that no matter what, your true self, confidence and self-belief will always fuel you and remain intact.

The fragrance itself opens with notes of juicy white pear and refreshing raspberries. Sweet, radiant and delicious they soften with a heart of creamy coconut and delicate, feminine pink rose petals.

Base notes of velvet musk and delectable macaroon sugar wrap the scent in a comforting gourmand warmth, creating a fragrance that is undeniably playful, feminine and uplifting.

Whimsical and soft it is a really beautiful, delicate scent that balances just the right amount of sweet with floral, leaving a scent which is both elegant yet lighthearted.

Ariana Grande’s Thank U Next is available now from The Fragrance Shop and costs a very reasonable £25 for 30ml.

Ariana Grande Cloud

I’m not big on celeb fragrances (unless its Britney Spears Fantasy because BOY do I love that) but that said, I’ve yet to try an Ariana Grande fragrance that I haven’t liked.

Cloud is her fantastically magical, captivating and eye catching scent and I when I heard it described as a floral, fruity, gourmand scent I knew this was gonna be for me.

Now let’s address the elephant in the room. Sleek, chic and classic this fragrance bottle is not. But this is an Ariana Grande scent, it was never going to be anything other than captivating, remarkable and unique and actually, I really rather love it!

 Inspired by optimism and hope, the dreamy new bottle deliberately stands apart from her existing fragrances with its artistic expression of positivity and happiness from Ariana directly to her fans.

“I love the peaceful beauty of clouds – they are both magical and comforting at the same time. I wanted to create this amazing feeling of hope and happiness, and share it with my fans everywhere. That’s what CLOUD is for me – a beautiful, optimistic scent to give love and comfort to anyone that sprays it,” says Grande.

The cloud from within the fragrance bottle itself sits represents the optimism and youthful spirit brought from looking up at the sky and daydreaming while the subtle, pale blue of the vessel itself offers an uplifting element of the brightness of the future on the horizon.

Who knew fragrances could be so deep eh!

So onto the fragrance itself. Firstly let me just say, I LOVE IT. Yes it requires capitals because I like it that much.

Addictive and dreamy nots of juicy pear, alluring lavender blossom and mouth-watering bergamot give way to heart notes of the most delicious crème de coconut, indulgent praline and exotic, sweet vanilla orchid.

Sensual musks and cream woods then envelop the entire experience leaving a fragrance that is as soft and sweet as marshmallows, as delicate as cashmere and as soft as a warm hug.

 It is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance as by far my favourite from Ariana. Yes it is probably aimed at teeny-boppers but it could easily be worn by a thirty-something woman like myself and no one would bat an eyelid.

Iconic, beautiful and delightful Ariana Grande Cloud gets a massive thumbs up from me- plus its really reasonably priced.

Check it out for yourself now at The Fragrance Shop where 50ml costs just £32.50.

ARI By Ariana Grande

These days it seems that no self respecting celeb can possibly go without launching their own fragrance and Ariana Grande is the latest star to add this beauty item to their portfolio!

Launching in September, ARI is the debut, personally crafted scent from the popstar.

 “I  love  fragrance,  it  is  something  I have been  obsessed  with  all  my  life.  As  a  fragrance  debut  of  my  very own,  I  really  wanted  it  to  be  personal,  that’s  why  I  named  it  ARI.  I love everything about it.  It is so fun and true to me.  The scent is sweet, yet sexy, with some surprises underneath. ”

Captured within a pretty, pink gem like bottle the fragrance features top notes of Crispy Pear, Pink Grapefruit and Juicy Raspberry before melting into heart notes of Soft Muguet, Rose Buds and Vanilla Orchid. The drydown then features  Marshmallow, Creamy Musk and Blonde Woods.

I’ve not personally tried the scent yet but I picture it to be quite sweet and heady!

Ariana Grande’s ARI EDP will be available from September and will cost £31 for 50ml.
