Okay, so, I recently decided to try out that Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy perfume I kept seeing everywhere. I mean, the name alone just screams “try me,” right? So I went on over to Ulta, because where else do you go for all things beauty-related?
First off, finding the perfume section in Ulta is like navigating a maze. Seriously, it’s a wonderland of scents, but also, I got a little lost. But I finally spotted the familiar pink and white box. They had a tester, so I obviously had to give it a try. One spritz and I was like, “Whoa, this is sweet!”
I spent a good while wandering around the store, sniffing my wrist every few minutes to see how the fragrance developed. That’s what you gotta do, you know? Let it settle. And I gotta say, I wasn’t disappointed. It starts off with this strong burst of sugary goodness, like straight-up candy. But then it mellows out a bit, and you get some softer, like, fruity notes.
The notes say red berries, and yeah I get that, but it is really more like berry candy. I saw some reviews online, and they are all like “Sweet Like Candy Limited Edition by Ariana Grande is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women.” But I think it’s more sweet and less floral.
I ended up buying a bottle. I mean, how could I not? It’s such a fun, playful scent, and it really does live up to its name. I feel like it’s inspired by Ariana’s fun and sexy personality, so sweet!
Here’s how I’d break it down:
- First Impression: Like walking into a candy store, super sweet and sugary.
- After a While: Still sweet, but with some fruity undertones, like berries or something.
- Overall Vibe: Girly, fun, definitely a daytime kind of perfume.
Would I recommend it?
If you love sweet, candy-like fragrances, then absolutely! If you prefer something more subtle or sophisticated, maybe not. But hey, it’s worth a try, right? That’s what I thought, and now I’m hooked! It is a happy perfume!
