Sweet Like Candy Limited Edition

Very similar to Sweet Like Candy with some subtle differences. Sweet Like Candy would be the younger more innocent sister, while the limited edition would be the older more sultry sister. While the original is more subtle and closer the the skin, I personally find the limited edition to be a little bit more pronounced and not so subtle. I find the limited edition to be a little sweeter because of the red berries and the amber note. Upon first spray I was super disappointed as I thought I had purchased Sweet Like candy only in a red bottle. I sprayed both wrists and after going back and forth between the two I began to notice very subtle differences between them. I personally find the original more of a skin scent and it's more light while the limited is that bit more intense. Also some of the notes differ making the scent smell different and develop differently on the skin. I get better lasting power out of the limited edition, which hits around 5 hours while SLC hits about 3-4 on my skin. I love Ariana Grande and all her fragrances and I adore the look of the bright red bottle and Pom Pom so I wanted to get it anyway so it's not a big deal to me that they aren't drastically different as I can appreciate the small tweaks that have been made. I don't know if I have mentioned it or not but out of SLC original and SLC Limited edition I like the limited edition the best.

A lot of “limited edition” perfumes are identical to the original scent, just in a different bottle. That is not the case with this one. It’s still extremely similar! 90% or so the same...but not exactly. This one smells less gourmand with less of a whipped cream smell and some juicy red berries thrown on top. The red berries note here smells just like the berries in Britney Spears “Radiance.” Gorgeous, juicy red berries note. Not tart sour ones. It’s a beautiful scent. Going for $100+ on EBay and I was lucky enough to find a full, brand new bottle for like $23. I actually think I prefer this to the original...however...my favorite scent of hers is still her debut scent “Ari.” I have every single perfume she has released with the exception of Thank You, Next. I even own Frankie which also has a beautiful smell, just doesn’t perform. So all in all...is this one worth $100? No. But it’s definitely worth the $23 I paid for it, it’s gorgeous. I wish they made it in a 100ML bottle but they only make it in a 50ML unfortunately. Performance isn’t terrible. Moderate for sure. Longevity - 4 hours. Projection - About 3 feet. Overall Score - 8.5/10. Thumbs up Ariana. This is beautiful. Don’t stop producing it! It’s delicious.

I recently bought a 100ml tester of the origional sweet like candy on ebay, and it was quite cheap being a tester. So when I opened it up and the box said Limited edition, i thought " Weird, I'm pretty sure its not..oh well" And in the box, low and behold it was this red bottle! What a score! I mean, if i didn't want this one it would be inconvenient but I've looked for this in Oz and the price is ludicrous for a celeb fragrance, LE or not. So I thought that was quite a win for me lol. The fragrance itself is very similar to the original, but I actually find it's bolder with better longevity( then again, it is a tester) I get at least 4-5 hours before it mellows down to a skin scent. Its sweeter than the OG without that sharp fresh note; which i like so i wish it had more of that. I'm not sure how I feel about the bottle though, the soft pink is much prettier than the brash red but hey it's not really the bottle that i bought it for. All in all, a good buy, I like it a lot, the two are very similar but not exactly the same.

I wish I had known about this perfume when it was easily available. I did have to purchase this from eBay at a small markup, but I am so happy that I have it now because it was worth it. Luckily the bottle was an unused tester, so score! It's deliciously sweet, effortlessly sexy, and doesn't try to be anything that it's not. You could wear this every day and for any occasion since it's not overbearing at all, and even more mature folks could rock this. The sweetness is not too thick since it's balanced by the tangy black currant and citrus. I am in love with the honeysuckle and frangipani in this as well, two of my absolute favorites notes. The whipped essences make this intoxicating but without any kind of headache. It's perfectly balanced in my opinion, but definitely not boring. I may have to keep my eye out for another great deal on this as a backup because I would absolutely run through this if I wasn't so aware of it being a limited edition.

OMG this smells exactly like my childhood crying doll that had scented face. So amazing! It is completely not what I expected based on the notes but that scent was absolutely winning, calming, fascinating. Creamy with floral notes. So amazing to now have an entire bottle of this scent. I can barely believe it. I am either nose blind to it or it has such a delicate presence as if non existent when I wear it globally. It is certainly sweet and floral on me. But I would never guess the parts maybe only cashmere and whipped cream. Gorgeous doll scent though. Maybe hot spring day with summer temperature is not its forte. I am wearing it with 10+ sprays and finally I feel it. 3 hours in and it faded into drydown, but I love it anyway.
