Is Cloud by Ariana Grande the best celebrity perfume on the market?
Celebrity perfumes can be a total gamble — and in many cases, you get what you pay for. Synthetic, fruity body splashes dominate the discount bins (Curious by Britney Spears, Fame by Lady Gaga) at Shoppers and Walmarts around the country.
But every once in awhile, a game-changer appears.
Cloud is a gorgeous, richly rounded fragrance that is heavy on the sweet without being stomach-churning. At the top is a burst of lime, coconut and sweet cream, while the dry-down is a beautiful powdery, woodsy vanilla. It’s an incredibly cozy scent that lasts forever on hair and on your clothes.
Best time of day to wear?
The delectable and dreamy Cloud is perfectly energizing for day, and the compact bottle is just light enough to carry around for touch-ups. One could also get away with wearing it to bed to wake up with fresh, sweet-smelling hair.
Best season?
The sticky sweetness of Cloud might be a little too cloying in the summer heat. This perfume shines when the humidity drops, making it perfect for crisp autumn-winter days.
Buy or pass?
Buy it! At $65 CAD, Cloud is a steal. If you lean toward sweet, vanilla-based scents, this fragrance will round out your collection.
