In this review, I will briefly summarize my experience and talk about the perfume scent notes, wearability, longevity, packaging, and much more. So, don’t miss out on any chunk of my take on this cloudy reminiscent of youthfulness. Overall, Ariana Grande Cloud EDP is a fruity-floral gourmand perfume. Here is a brutally honest Ariana Grande Cloud EDP perfume review.

What does Ariana Grande Cloud EDP smell like?
Cloud EDP is a creamy warm perfume that smells inviting and crowdy pleasing. I detected that it has an overall gourmand vibe. Plus, hints of musk and coconut add a soothing touch. Believe me when I say that Ariana Grande Cloud EDP is wearable all year round. To get you a clearer picture, I will also describe the top notes and heart notes.
So, the journey starts as top notes of lavender, bergamot, and pear pleasure you before the real game begins. Soon, the heart notes of praline, coconut, vanilla, and whipped cream play with your olfactory senses. Eventually, you can sense a dry down to musk and woody notes.
The vibe of this fragrance perfectly captures Ariana’s love for clouds. Thanks to Ariana’s cloud posts on Instagram, I was well aware of her love for these puffy natural friends. In her scent, Ariana has restored the lightness and soothing power that clouds hold.
Until now, the perfume has been well-received by those who love gourmand fragrances with a tropical character. However, individual body chemistry can make perfumes smell different on different people. So, I would suggest you test it on your skin before making a purchase.

Scent Notes of Ariana Grande Cloud EDP
Now, I will give you guys my thoughts on the scent notes of this perfume one by one.
Top Notes – A Fresh Start
The top notes of Ariana Grande are refreshing and it feels like they please every single olfactory nerve in your body. Lavender is a prominent top note that adds a herbal and aromatic touch. Secondly, pear adds a fruity burst and sweet character to the scent. The third top note is bergamot, which is known for its citrusy nature. In short, I think these top notes perfectly stage the upcoming wave of scents.
Heart Notes- Creamy and Gourmand
Heart Notes of Cloud EDP are the main players that add to the fragrance’s creamy and gourmand touch. These include coconut, vanilla orchid, praline, and whipped cream. I love this blend. However, if you are someone who dislikes synthetic ingredients, Cloud EDP might not be the best fit for you.
Base Notes- Musky and Woody
The base notes are pretty basic and include vanilla, cashmere woods, and creamy musk. Vanilla has a luscious undertone and adds a desert-like depth to the scent. Cashmere Woods need to know further details to explain their magic. Finally, creamy musk adds a sensuous tone that improves the scent’s longevity as well.
Longevity, Projection, and Silage of Cloud EDP
If there is one thing that everyone loves about Ariana Grande’s Cloud line up, it has to be longevity. The fragrance has a deep musky undertone that makes it more sensual and long-lasting. Hence, you don’t have to worry about reapplying the perfume again and again. A few puffs will last for good 6 to 8 hours on your skin.
Projection and silage are good and would get you a load of compliments. Do keep in mind that a moderate projection/silage is an ideal trait of a perfume. If a perfume is too strong in these aspects, it will most likely give you a headache.
Sophia
I bought this without ever having smelled the perfume in person so it was definitely a risk, but it paid off! I get SO many compliments when I wear this perfume and I’ve even gotten a few people who mistake it for something more expensive, so I guess it doubles as a dupe too. I’ve worn a lot of different perfumes but I’ve never gotten as many compliments as I do with this one! It’s such a distinct scent, it’s got a nice musk to it but is still really feminine. Highly recommend especially since it’s a cheaper perfume (and doesn’t smell like it’s cheap)! It generally stays on for about half the day to a full day
5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite perfume ever

Box and Bottle Design
I have to say, Cloud EDP by Ariana Grande has a solid 10/10 when it comes to box and bottle design.
I simply LOVE the clear sky-blue glass bottle in a cloud shape. If you also enjoy cute aesthetic bottles, add Cloud EDP to your bucket list right away! You can see a picture of the box as well below. I think the box is super chic as well. But, let me be honest- I don’t care much about it. You end up throwing it away anyways.
When to Wear Ariana Grande Cloud EDP?
Cloud EDP is a versatile perfume. You can wear it during warm summers, spring, autumn, and even frosty winters. According to Fragrantica, most people prefer it as a daytime perfume, but it will also be chic-wear at night. So, you don’t need to worry about that either.
In my opinion, it will be a an excellent gift as well. Plus, you can wear it on a birthday, a casual hangout, or even a date.
Is Cloud EDP really worth-buying?
So, now coming to the final chunk: Should you buy Cloud EDP? Is it really worth it? For me, yes, Cloud EDP is one of the best purchases I have made so far in this price category. It is a great everyday wear, so definitely, I think you should add it to your collection as soon as possible.
The perfume is versatile and adds to your distinctive character.
