Ari

Ari, released by Ariana Grande in 2015 for women, is a sweet, fruity gourmand. Everyone describes it as gourmand and about half as floral; woody, musky and citrus shades are noted by a quarter.

It opens with raspberry, pear and grapefruit, a juicy, slightly tart fruit salad that keeps the start bright. The heart is softer and more floral: rose adds a light, sweet rosiness, vanilla orchid a creamy, powdery sweetness and lily of the valley a clean, dewy freshness. The base is where the sugar settles, as marshmallow gives a fluffy, sweet softness, musk a clean warmth and woody notes a dry frame that stops it collapsing into pure candy.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and a minority find it weak; the trail is moderate, sometimes intimate. It is voted for spring and summer, and strongly for daytime. It suits casual daytime wear and anyone who enjoys a bright, playful sweetness.
