Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum Perfumes

I’ll admit I was skeptical. Celebrity scents often promise more than they deliver, and I braced myself for something generic. But from the very first spray, this fragrance completely surprised me. There’s something almost comforting about the opening — a soft sweetness that isn’t cloying but feels uplifting, almost like wrapping yourself in your favourite cozy sweater on a quiet morning. It’s light, airy, and immediately wearable in a way that pulled me in. The initial sweetness doesn’t hit you like sugar; instead, it flirts with delicate floral and sweet fruit notes that breeze through my senses without overstaying their welcome. As it settles, the perfume morphs into this warm, fluffy heart that truly feels like its name — a cloud. I’ve caught hints of coconut and smooth creaminess underneath everything, and for me that’s the part that sticks around. It’s comforting in an unexpected way, like it evokes memories of summer evenings and gentle sunsets rather than loud crowds or glitter. My friends have even commented without me telling them I’m wearing something new, which honestly says a lot. What I appreciate most is how it manages to be soft and feminine without being overtly sugary or childish. It feels grown-up yet playful, balanced without trying too hard. Some perfumes feel like they’re performing — bold, loud, demanding attention. This one feels more like a quiet confidence. It doesn’t announce itself from across the room, but it lingers in a way that feels familiar and personal. And although the longevity isn’t something I’d call overpowering — it fades gently throughout the day rather than clinging aggressively — I find that suits the overall vibe perfectly. It’s not heavy or intrusive; it’s just there, like a pleasant thought you return to without trying. All in all, Cloud isn’t a perfume I expected to love as much as I do. It’s unpretentious, comforting, and truly wearable — a scent I find myself reaching for whether I’m heading out casually or want something that feels elegant without being over the top. It’s the kind of perfume that feels like it was made for everyday life, not just special occasions, and that’s exactly why it’s become a staple in my collection.

I found the original cloud fragrance better after I left it to settle for a few days. First spray and whiff of it and it’s Awesome. But it very quickly becomes a skin scent and you go nose blind to it quickly. It’s not very polarising, so I end up very much over spraying to get that scent bubble around me. Thought it would be ideal for summer use but found winter better for some reason. In summer only noticed it on myself when near a fan blowing across the scent of my clothes. Fades to nothing on my skin very quickly. This original version is sweeter and more airy than the 2.0 intense. So I prefer it much better and can hardly smell the intense version. I use to smell the Dry down as being like playdo. But not now, so that could of been due to the very cold weather I first tried it in. Will have to wait a few more months to test that theory out. As that was the main reason I never wore my first bottle, until I tried it again months later. Then fell in love with it. I can only wear it for a day or 2 then go totally nose blind to it. So I have to switch to a totally different perfume before I go back to using this one. I’ve tried laying the cloud original over the intense version and the projection works no better. So I will continue to just buy this original bottle in future. Im not keen on the cloud plastic holders they arriving in. Bottle looks better displayed on its own. But the holder is a good idea to stop the bottle falling over. But hard to hold and spray on the biggest bottle. Displaying out on the unit with my other perfumes, I definitely prefer to take the holder off. I found putting the cloud plastic holder in a draw and storing my small perfume samples in it much better. Heard others use it as a phone holder. Which is great instead of just chucking them out. Out of all the perfumes I own, this is the one I love the best. Just wish it had that 80’s projection they all use to have lol. I hope they never change the original formula to become weaker else it won’t be worth buying. The price is good on Amazon. And just as well because the over spraying I use on this, I go through it so much quicker than my more expensive perfumes. I think this perfume suits teens through to any age. It’s sweet but light and airy. Not in your face florals which I’m totally not a fan off. And the musk is not heavy at tall, just clean and light and without any heavy citrus scent either. Cloud name is spot on in my opinion. To describe the Scent it’s almost like a sweet breath of fresh air. Also reminds me of fresh laundry when you’re ironing, when you get that cozy clean and bright but comforting smell wafting around you. Update: 7 months later this bottle still smells good and so does my other bottle that I opened over a year and a half ago. It’s still the perfume I crave and go back to. Never smelt the playdo plastic scent again. Sometimes I detect a faint strawberry sweet scent as well. But still that airy but cosy freshness. It’s become a firm favourite for sure and I already have a 4th bottle packed away as spare. As I never want to run out of this original cloud version. Also found a way to make it last and project even longer. As it’s a warm summer day out today. So without layering over in the sane place. But spraying my usual 6 spray’s on my t shirt and just one spray of my old L&G made in France (not Italy) which I don’t usually like on it own and never use to wear. I now get the slight Mediterranean scent then Cloud wafting scent around me. Which I’m still smelling on myself all day. By adding a few more cloud sprays after 5 hrs. But it could also be that, when I add more slightly different scent notes for my nose to pick up, they all stand out to me better. Conclusion: Ive changed my rating to full stars as this gem of a fragrance is now a firm favourite. The price is actually ok for the over spraying. Especially compared to my much dearer perfumes that I don’t crave to wear like I do with this one.
