Wow. This is SO good. I finally caved and grabbed this (along with Vanilla Suede) to add to my Ari collection and my Love Notes collection — and honestly, I wish this had been the original release. Being in the U.S., we got that awful Pink Woods instead. I know some people love it, but it did absolutely nothing for me. This, however, is amazing. The opening is beautifully sweet — the vanilla and rose combo is stunning. This isn’t a typical heady or earthy rose at all; it’s a sweet, delicate rose. The raspberry-rose pairing with that creamy, milky gelato note is so smooth, cozy, and genuinely unique. If you’ve ever used a rose water facial wash or mist, you’ll recognize that soft rose water vibe here. There is a tiny hint of green, earthy rose, but the creamy, gentle notes round it out and make it feel truly special. I have over 500 bottles in my collection and have smelled a lot — and this is honestly one of the most unique Ariana fragrances I’ve tried. It’s easily one of my favorites from her. Longevity is best on clothing; it fades faster on skin, where it wears more intimate, but it still lingers and smells lovely. I’ll absolutely enjoy this both on its own and layered. Rating: 9/10 — almost perfect.

Oh wow, this is different. Not what I expected. At first I wasn't sure I like this fragrance. I bought it because of the rosewater and dark vanilla note. To me this perfume needs a few minutes to develope before it smells amazing. It opens up a little scratchy and smells like cough syrup. But give it 5 minutes to settle and oh my. This smells so velvety sweet and cozy! The rose and raspberry kind of mix together and make the fragrance feminine. I am not getting gelato at all, on the contrary I am getting warm boozy vibes from this. And more than a cold a desert I get marshmallows and chocolate (?). Something in the ice cream accord must smell cacao-ish or chocolaty to me. I agree with the review below about the reminiscence of a campfire. When I read that it clicked because to me there is smokiness to the woodsey notes. It really smells like a girly campfire. Imagine a group of girls roasting marshmallows drinking hot cocoa and the girls wear beautiful perfumes. It wont be for everyone I feel like the boozy sweetness could make some people nauseous or cause headaches. Not a safe blindbuy in my opinion. But I will wear it a whole lot this fall and winter!

sweet, delicate, creamy, it has depth. absolutely an instant love for me. i’ve been searching for a creamy rose gourmand fragrance and this is it. it truly smells like a rose tinged gelato. it’s not overly floral or overly gourmand, it’s a perfect balance of both. so fluffy, airy, and delicious. the bottle says salted amber (as a note) but my nose gets a salted caramel vibe. it’s like a rose flavored gelato with a single stripe of thick caramel swirled through it. by the time it fully dries down hours later, it turns into a soft vanilla scent with a rosey/berry undertone to it. it also becomes powdery by that point but not overwhelmingly so. just enough to keep it smooth and fresh. my only issue is that the projection is intimate. i overspray this one and it’s a skin scent after 4 hours although i can still smell it on clothing nearly 8 hours later but it’s very light. despite that i am in love with this one, this became my everyday scent for spring/summer quickly. it’s so effortlessly cozy and feminine. definitely the type of scent you’d smell on a beautiful stranger who is walking past you. a creamy rose gourmand lovers dream in my opinion <3

Delicious! I can definitely smell rose water, but it's not like the classical rose smell that I smell in other perfumes with rose note. It's blended nicely with the other notes, like, rose flavoured Turkish delight / ice cream with coconut sprinkles. So, it's young and sweet. Afterwards it's indeed like a coconut/vanilla dessert but it also smells like cocoa a little bit, even tho it's not listed. Rose is then less noticable. I think it's very warming during winter but can be cloying if sprayed too much. Not safe for blind buy. It's not fresh or cozy (to me). But sweet, different and addicting nevertheless! Only Ariana perfume that smelled different and addicting than other ones and also stayed all day even if I washed my hands multiple times, while other perfumes I sprayed just disappeared. Even before sleeping, my bf said that something smells nice and sweet, it was this one. And he RARELY says that (maybe 3 times total)

i'm writing a second review on this as it's become tied to my top 3 ari fragrances (others are thank u next and ari) this really has to be her best and underrated lovenote ever, it's so sweet and light and it reminds me of an icecream shop in the best way possible. it's like if you took the raspberry + rose combo from ari and thank u next, as well as the coconut from thank u next and that sweet light musky vanilla from mod vanilla, that's what this is to me it feels like those 3 had a baby. i know this fragrance isn't for everyone but i happen to love all of the notes in this fragrance and it's gotten me a good amount of compliments! it smells like a sweet rose icecream with salt and coconut flakes on top. seriously hoping this never gets discontinued :') 🍨🥥🌹
