Ariana Grande Cloud is a sweet, airy gourmand eau de parfum that opens with lavender blossom, pear and bergamot, moves into whipped coconut cream, praline and vanilla orchid, and settles on a cashmere-like musky woods base. Reddit users frequently liken it to the far pricier Baccarat Rouge 540, and it is one of the scents people most often report smelling on others. Its sweetness and ubiquity put off some wearers, longevity reports vary widely, and flankers such as Cloud Pink and Cloud 2.0 Intense can confuse shoppers.

Five factors, weighted for fragrance. Here’s our working.

7.6Good

Scent score out of 10. Brands can’t pay for placement — ever.

Scent quality30%7.6
A creamy lavender-coconut-praline gourmand that Reddit users often liken to the far pricier Baccarat Rouge 540, though some find it cloying and it is very common.
Longevity & projection25%6.4
Reports are split: some people find it very strong in passing, while others say it vanishes from their skin within minutes.
Versatility10%7.4
Comfortable for casual daytime wear in most seasons, but the sweetness limits it for formal settings or people who dislike gourmands.
Value20%8.8
$75 for 100 ml at full price is strong value for a crowd-pleasing eau de parfum.
Community love15%8.4
Among the most widely worn and discussed celebrity fragrances, reviewed by major fragrance creators, though a vocal group finds it overly sweet.

Asked a lady next to me at a graduation if she was wearing Cloud by Ariana Grande. She was wearing Baccarat Rouge. She was very annoyed.

I told her it smells damn near identical to what she was wearing and costs $300 more so don't lol.

r/fragrance

I think Baccarat Rouge clones like Ariana Grande Cloud and honestly these days there are so many of them. Lucky for me I kinda like the scent in passing but it's VERY strong and I can see why people wouldn't like it.

r/Perfumes

I bought the pink and blue cloud, both disappeared after 10 minutes...I was certainly shocked. Even my husband who has a great sense of smell said he couldn't smell it anymore.
