Sweet Like Candy Ariana Grande for women

This was my signature perfume when I was in my teens. The older I got the worst it got for me. I do think the whipped cream fruity scent is really nice but sadly gets overpowered by a chemical smell especially in the dry down.

This is the only extremely girly Ariana perfume I like. All the other flankers are quite forgettable to me but this one stands out. I will say however I prefer Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter and if I could only choose one that would definitely be my pick.

Tender magical feminine, I miss this one.

The blackberry is so juicy, fruity and tantalising in this perfume. It’s a shame it doesn’t really last on me. I think that’s a drawback of this.

Wayyyy better than cloud, absolutely love this!!

I wanted something like pink sugar since pink sugar itself smells very synthetic, this is a perfect substitute for it. Super sweet, I can imagine layering it with other fragrances to add that little cotton candy sweetness. I must say I love it

Super sweet but has a sharpness that just doesn’t sit well with me. The sharpness fades after about an hour, but in its place it leaves an almost sour fruitiness. All in all, I’m just not a fan. It also has very minimal sillage and only lasts a few hours. A bit reminiscent of Ariana’s Mod Blush but not so much of Britney’s Fantasy.

Exactly as described. It's sweet like candy without being over the top. I enjoy more floral notes included with my perfume, but I wouldn't mind wearing this. It's very light and inoffensive. Perfect for anytime use. It's definitely more fruity than a cream/vanilla type scent, but not in a bad way. If you're looking for something light this is the way to go.

I've been wearing this perfume since last night, and I topped it up in the morning to go do my chores, and I must say that this perfume, even though it smells really nice, like a very soft cupcake with sprinkles on top, it doesn't last on me more than two hours, max. It needs to me resprayed or oversprayed to stay on your skin more than an hour, and more than two on clothes.
I bought it with the set that came with the body souffle, the perfume itself and the body spray, and if I use them all together I get a little bit more sillage on this
bit overpriced for what it gives you, but it's a very inoffensive smell, it can be worn by any age and I think it's school and work appropriate as it's not too much for the nose.

I bought this today. I found it generic and inoffensive enough to wear it casually for running errands or having something on me after showering. I've been spraying it every hour because it simply DISAPPEARS! My hand soap overpowers it and lasts longer. I won't be buying anything from miss Ari again.

exactly like the name! very sweet i love it sm!! wish the bottle was bigger for its price but still worth it. very feminine sweet and girly!!

v fruity n vanilla, sweeeet. used to be my signature scent when i was sixteen

I LOVE like the name it smells exactly like candy (especially squashies iykyk)

Whoever named this perfume needs a raise.
"sweet like candy"

I dont know what it is about ariana perfumes, but i still didnt find one i liked even though i absolutely love sweet and gourmand scents. Theyre not sweet to me, this one is very "cold" It is almost sour even. It also doesnt get more generic than this.

I suppose I should test it on me, but on paper, dill pickle mixed with candy. Test before you buy. You can test it at Ulta.

Smells a lot like ''thank u, next'' but isn't as fresh. On clothes, it's nice, sweet, gourmand, and powdery (in a good way), but on the skin, it smells awful - a fish-like scent mixed with plastic. The longevity is awesome. I don't think I'd buy this again but it's worth having in your collection.

I used to think this was pretty mid when I first got it so I started only using it at home but the more I used it, the more I fell in love. It's a beautiful, sweet girly smell. My only issue is with the longevity. If this fragrance lasted longer, this would probably be Ariana's best perfume.

This scent is very Electra Heart Teen Idle Marina and the Diamonds era.

As a teenage male I concider this to the best female fragrance I have smelled thus far.
I knew one girl who wore it at a summercamp and it was so sweet and feminine that I instantly fell in love.
One way or another she had sprayed some of the fragrance on my hoodie, and 2 weeks later the hoodie still had a strong scent of it.
This fragrance will definetly leave a trail of pure heaven behind, that will activate everyones odorant receptors to their fullest to savour the smell.
10/10 never falling out of love from the smell.

This really reminded me of Pink Sugar, but a bit more refined and updated. I definitely got compliments when I used to wear this.

its very sweet and marshmallowy and i love it, but it kinda smells like pickles to me after it dries out for a bit. maybe its my nose

People said it was sweet with more vanilla candy notes but it smells like peaches to me:( not a bad fragrance at all just not what I was hoping for

Layering 1 spray Midnight Fantasy + 1 spray Cloud on vanilla body butter gives me Sweet Like Candy Intense 2.0 vibes and it made my eyes roll back in pleasure. It is a way stronger, creamier, version of SLC, which lasts long, about 5-6 hours, whereas SLC only gives me 2-3 hours longevity.

Way too sweet for me. I get sick from it but I think it would be perfect for little girls.

Love this perfume! Its very feminine and sweet, get alot of whipcream and blackberry but not much of anything else. Definitely reccomend I wear this all the time and the bottle is so cute. 🩷

This is one of the best Ariana Grande perfumes. I love the blackcurrant and blackberry mixed with whipped cream and marshmallow. Smell straight up like marshmallow. It's the only candy scent I can stand. Im so tired of these overpowering caramel and vanilla gourmands. This is perfect to me. Wished it stayed on the skin longer 🍦

Pretty straightforward candy fragrance. On its own this smells like a juvenile body splash, but have found that it layers really well other fragrances. Since it is such a simple scent, I have been able to throw it on top of some other fragrances to soften/sweeten them up. This is also nice to pair with eos Vanilla Cashmere if you’re one of those girlies.

This has been a go-to for me since it came out. I adore the bottle, and it got me into collecting fragrances. I love sweet scents and this one really hits that. To me, it is very bright and light. No heaviness here. The longevity on me is decent, about 5-6 hours. I'd say the sillage is close to the skin-arms length, depending. It's a great buy for the price in my opinion.

I love the smell of this. It’s very sweet, but not heavy. It’s fresh and light. I literally showered myself in this and like alot of people are saying - it doesnt last long. A skin scent for sure, but I can also like that in the summer or just when I don’t want to smell very heavily of perfume. The bottle is cute and it’s cheap so I would recommend if you like sweet perfumes :)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS WITHOUT TESTING IT ON YOUR SKIN FIRST!
It smelled fine when I sprayed it on a paper, but it was a complete disaster on my skin! Smell just like toilet freshener and plastic. The sillage and longevity was poor.

yummy sweet inoffensive every day scent! Does smell a bit cheap / tacky like the samples from tween girly magazines but it’s still nice

this is one of my faves from ariana, but i will say the bergamot is super strong. not in a bad way, it just stands out more than the others. so sweet and soft. a crowd pleaser and fro good reason. i keep the rollerball in my car because i love it sm and it’s very easy to wear.

This might be my favorite warm-weather gourmand! I'm getting tired of summery gourmands that smell like a cocktail, or sunblock, or heavy citrus... this smells like fruit punch to me! like a fun slushy you'd have at a pool party or a water park! i know it's meant to be more powdery and marshmallow, but i just get festive sweet fruit that smells like a fun time.

Lovely perfume. It smells like a fruity marshmallow with a vanilla undertone. Sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet.

Smells like a young teen in my opinion. Completely boring, it’s just sweet. Smells like pure synthetic burnt sugar. I ended up selling it.

This is my favorite Ariana Grande scent! It's sweet and yummy, and has me smelling my wrist all day! The biggest downside is that it doesn't last nearly as long as I'd like it to on my skin, but sometimes I can smell it on my clothes or blankets the next day.

Sweet, slightly cloying. Not my favourite sweet scent but it will do. More of an inside scent than an outside scent. The pompom broke off my bottle almost immediately.

This is VERY heavy on the frangipani notes in my opinion. I agree with the comments saying this is much more floral than fruity. It does give me a headache, but I don't necessarily HATE the smell. Jasmine just tends to disagree with my nose. Going to give this one another chance, because I usually like Ari perfumes.

I find this perfume to be more floral than fruity. It is a very sweet fragrance, but i don't get much candy from it, the cloud pink is more candy-like in my option. it is a very girly, light fragrance that is really pretty, the name just seems misleading to me

It has just arrived! I love it! It’s sweet but not overwhelming and I think it could possibly be worn in summer too. A perfect everyday girly smell! Now I’m gonna see the longevity.

i loveee this perfume. it’s very sweet and fruity when first applied, but when it dries down it’s less fruity and you can smell the vanilla and whipped cream notes. my only issue that sometimes (for me) it’s a little too sweet and can induce headaches and that it doesn’t last long.

Got this fragrance last year, perfect amount of sweetness! I haven't put it on in a long while, but I recall smelling it every now and then when applied! It doesn't last as long though sadly, but it's a perfect girly scent! A mix of marshmallows, cream, and berries can definitely be smelled!

Reading the ingredients, I had such high hopes for this fragrance so purchased blindly. I like the scent but not super impressed, think it comes across as slightly juvenile. Also it appears to be quite weak, I would normally prefer a strong projection. But overall it is OK if bought on promo, otherwise I think shelf price is probably a bit too high for what you get.

To me this just smells like a Burberry her dupe! I only really smell the powdery notes, like the vanilla, marshmallow and whipped cream. This perfume is really good and would def recommended!! Good blind buy:)

This was the second perfume I purchased a long time ago.
On first spray, it's incredibly sweet, almost headache sweet. The blackcurrant is very strong to me. It's almost as if it's mixed with a red berry but I may be confusing that for the citrus bergamot.
As juicy as this is, it's also also powdery which reminds me of a body spray which cheapens it unfortunately.
To me the fruitiness overpowers the vanilla/marshmallow.
When I sprayed it on me, the top notes die incredibly fast, within a few minutes and the scent is barely there. It almost smells a bit like sunscreen on me, but a nice sunscreen! Like I've been sitting in the sun and eating fruit.
It's quite pleasant on me, not cloying. However it's so weak and doesn't last, like many have said.
I think this is a safe buy for a teenager/young adult who loves sweet scents.

the sweetest, girliest fragrance! it is not sickly sweet though, it’s perfect 🥹. i receive so much compliments on this!

Reminds me of a Bath and Body Works fragrance, both in scent and longevity. Not bad, but not special. I think this will be good for layering in the spring and summer months.

This was gifted to me years ago and I've only ever associated it with a fluffy cloud of thick marshmallow--that's really it. Somehow, the mini version smells similar to a synthetic cupcake and powdery skin. Not usually my taste, but if I ever want to smell like a teen on Valentine's, I'd go for this.

I've been wearing this perfume for a couple of years now as it became my replacement for Meow, however, I think I've outgrown the scent and I actually prefer Meow as it's a more lighter version of Sweet Like Candy. The pear note alongside the other fruit notes are very strong and it smells extremely sweet. I wouldn't say this is a vanilla nor marshmallow scent as it leans more to the fruity pear side with lots of sweets. Once this bottle is done, it's Thank You Next because that perfume smells divine.

Yes, it's sweet, but at first it seems a bit harsh to me. So for me, it seems that "Thank u next" is sweeter than "Sweet like candy"

this will forever be my favorite fragrance of ariana's. it smells just like cotton candy and marshmallows but it's so refreshing at the same time. the scent also lasts for so long, i love it!

I love this perfume, it’s very sweet, girly. It smells like berries with whipped cream and marshmallow. It’s by far from other Ariana’s fragrances I’ve tried my favourite. If you wanna smell like candy on a budget get this perfume. It’s not extremely long lasting which I’m sad about but overall it is a great perfume for the price.

i smelled a prominent citrus note upon first spray. thought it was grapefruit but its apparently bergamot 😭. i wish i got more out of this perfume but the longevity is really disappointing. i can literally drown myself in this fragrance and it will disappear after 30 minutes like what 😭. nobody can smell it on me as well the sillage is super intimate. the perfume also tickles my nose a little lol. i do also get blackberry with a hint of pear. i wish the marshmallow note was more prominent and long lasting. i get a tiny hint of it but it gets lost in the fruity notes ☹️. after the top notes disappear i dont smell anything at all which disappointed me especially because im a vanilla lover. smells like a fruit platter of bitter orange and blackberries with marshmallows and sugar sprinkled on top 😭😭.

Anyone wanna swap.. I have this fragrance and would like to swap it out for cloud 2.0

It smells good but doesn't last long at all, I like it for the price I just wish it lasted longer because it smells like a fruity marshmallow

I like it. It's not bad and I think it's a pretty good starter fragrance. After a while it doesn't feel that special or unique. it's very similar to Ari's first few fragrances, almost too similar? if you have this, I would avoid buying ari or moonlight because they smell almost the same. Like other AG scents the longevity is subpar.

It didn't smell sweet to me, but synthetic, cheap and clean.

sweet candies and marshmallow scent with hints of berries! 🫐

this is my first Ariana Grande perfume that i wanted and the first one i bought! i got a sampler of the mist and fell in love more with the perfume (the longevity is the only difference). this scent embodies all the girlies who are not afraid to smell as sweet and playful as they look!

➤ lasts 2-3 hours
➤ weak projection, skin scent
➤ 9/10 - pink, girly, classy bottle design. love the pink pompoms!

the sweetest and my favorite scent out of all my Ariana Grande perfumes! 💗

It smells like a bag of sweets + marshmallows, not in a cloying way - but in an airy/creamy bubble.

This perfume is for people who don't like strong scents, who like to have an AURA instead of a perfume.

Longevity is short, but I have the biggest bottle and I don't mind reapplying. I don't care if this perfume is considered childish, I enjoy smelling like a marshmallow fairy and I will continue to do so ;)

This smells good & would make a perfect first perfume for a preteen or teen girl. It is extremely weak though. When sprayed on clothes there is a very mild raspberry which later turns creamy/woodsy. On my skin though it disappears after 20 minutes even after over 15-25 sprays. I will not repurchase and probably pass this on to one of my friend's daughters

Such a sweet and bubbly scent. I love everything about this. I just wish the longevity would be better!

Not a fan. Mostly because it is a very fruity scent above anything else and I don't like fruity. It's my own fault for buying it, knowing it has top notes of blackberry.

Clean, sugar, and at some point reminded me of pink sugar but milder on the nose.

PTSD from middle school, math class hotboxed with Sweet like Candy that at least 15+ girls wore at the same time. All I can smell is pink pepper which makes it spicy and sickly sweet.

This is such a good smell!! Doesn't quite smell like candies like the name says but it is very sweet. If I had to describe I would say this smells like someone who gives good hugs. While it is sweet it is not juvenile. The lasting power really is weak on me but I have a friend who this lasts ages on her. Also, I find the bottle super gorgeous wich is a plus

not my favorite fragrance, one spray and the entire room can smell it. to me, the fruity sweet is too overpowering. powerful sillage for the first hour or two. i see a lot of people say theirs doesn't have good longevity, so i'm wondering if the formula changed. i got my bottle when the fragrance first dropped. the longevity of mine is amazing.
the smell is definitely juvenile. super sweet, and i feel like the fruity sweetness overpowers the vanilla note.

Another 'meh' fragrance by Ariana that I used maybe five times since purchasing upon release many years ago. This, like Moonlight, has no notes that makes it stand out against all the other thousands of celeb and inexpensive perfumes found at chemists. I honestly couldn't tell you how a single note this perfume is said to smell like actually smells like because it just has an aroma of a chemical concoction with no thought in the making of it.
Avoid if you already own Ari, Moonlight, Cloud or Mod Vanilla - they're basically all the same.

This smells so, so good but it's so, so weak. I bought the lotion/body wash/body mist for layering to help, but even then, can't get any kind of scent bubble or projection. It's such a shame because this is such a pretty, sweet but not juvenile scent. I can't stand Cloud or or TUN because they remind me of BR450 but thankfully this fully skirts that profile.

I find it hard to discern individual notes, it just has a pleasant, slight cotton candy sweetness to it, not fruity or floral to me at all despite all the white florals and the blackberry. I really think it's great for a cozy night in on the couch and is so inoffensive, and after half a lifetime of pretending I hate sweet scents (I don't! long live the sugar!), I picked up a bottle at Ross for $22. I wouldn't pay more as it doesn't last.

The bottle is very cute, but unfortunately the perfume doesn’t do much for me. To me, it’s sweet, powdery, and slightly airy, and I really don’t mind it! Very feminine and youthful, albeit simple, but the biggest downside is definitely the longevity and projection. It’s very poor. I sprayed it on myself to write this review and my nose had to be against my skin to smell it even only a minute after spraying. The scent is nothing too special and the strength is on par with body sprays, unfortunately. I can’t even reach for this just for home because I can’t smell it on myself at all.

to be straightforward: i don’t like this. for 50-60 bucks it’s way overpriced - it smells like cheap kids stuff you’d get in a plastic bottle with a cute cartoony character on it. there’s alot of notes for something so simple and juvenile. it barely, if at all, develops. all of ariana’s perfumes vaguely smell the same to me with minimal differences. it smells like a headachingly sweeter version of moonlight, which i actually enjoy. i can see why people like this but it’s grossly sweet to me

Even though there are plenty of notes in this fragrances it's pretty 1 dimensional, it generally smells like sweet tarts/shock tarts and marshmallows. It doesn't last very long, either. Less than 2 hours! The dry down it powder-y and floral sweet. I haven't come across a fragrance like this, not that it's particularly unique. It's hard to go wrong with this, if your gifting this to young highschool girl. It's a good beginner perfume if your inexperienced with the complexity of fragrance.

I saw her Thank U, Next fragrance commercial and I'm assuming her fanbase are high schoolers, and young people, and that's what her fragrance line is marketed towards..

I'm just saying this definitely isn't a mature fragrance (Not because it's sweet, but because there no depth) it definitely does not evolve while wearing it. That being said, in my opinion it's definitely NOT worth 50-60 bucks, when a body spray is equivalent to the formula of SWL.

Anyway, there nothing wrong with loving not-so-adult and non-complex fragrances. Fantasy by Britney Spears is more complex (not by much though) then SWL, you can smell the top, middle and base notes with cupcake throughout, and it last awhile. For my taste, id rather dish out money for fragrances that dont perform like body spray.

Lovely

Not going to repurchase, The scent is alright I suppose, but so so light and with no staying power you get a tendenitis from overspaying. Try Ari instead.

first perfume i have ever bought and was affordable, but the issue was that it does not project so it's almost impossible to smell it on me and it doesn't last at all. it's a shame 'cause i LOVE the smell which is sweet and feminine.

I unfortunately did a blind buy on this one.
I don't like it.
Bottle is ok, but I am not bottle collector. I was hoping for something sweet and pleasant.

ITS a water spray it has no scent.

So far REM; Cloud; Mod Vanilla are just fine. This is boring and forgettable.

Dont waste money on that crap.

This is just so girlie. I really love it. Really nostalgic to me as it's my first perfume. Pity it barely lasts that long. It's slightly overpriced yet I still find myself re-purchasing it as I just love the scent. If you're someone who doesn't like constantly spraying themselves due to bad longevity I don't recommend this, but if you don't mind - go for it!

Gorgeous juicy fruity vanilla, great for warmer weather. I personally find it quite strong and heady. It lasts well but if I spray too much I do get a headache. I wish I got a smaller bottle as I don’t reapply due to headaches. None of my other fragrances do tho. 4/5 for that reason

I always get tons of compliments on this scent. Sweet candyish notes but not so much that it overpowers the fruity notes. There's a good balance between the 2. I find this to be very long lasting on me. There's a freshness to this scent that a lot of sweet candy like perfumes don't have.

I used to own this. On me it really didn't smell that sweet - it just smelt like a cheap perfume that was forgettable and boring. Certainly nothing like candy. It's definitely something a pre-teen would wear, just not for me.

SLC is honestly such a beautiful fragrance, not your average pink sugar dupe. I smell the berry, pear, marshmallow and a bit of floral. She’s fresh, sweet, and addictive. However the EDP and body mist have no longevity at all :( stays on for a hour then quickly starts to go away.

I immediately sense the very sweet pear note in the top notes and then after a while I get the marshmallow and whipped cream, so it does remind me of Ari a bit, but what makes this different is the noticeable blackberry and blackcurrant notes.

From the name of this perfume you might think you are getting something quite juvenile and predictable, but the blackberry and blackcurrant add a bit more grown and sophisticated tone to this perfume and make it more interesting.

I wish this was longer-lasting. After two hours of applying it's pretty much gone. It's a nice perfume if you don't mind the need for several touch ups during the day.

Sweet, fruity and youthful. Very feminine and pretty. Although sweet it's not cloying. Nothing I haven't smelled before. A scent you can expect from a celebrity fragrance. Although not for me it is still very nice. I can picture my teenage niece wearing this.

i have this in the body mist but i am not impressed, it is such a headache inducing scent, i don't think i would rebuy this because it honestly just isn't for me, disappointed i didn't like this but oh well

this was the first perfume i got from miss ariana and at the time it was the only perfume i had out of like maybe 5 total fragrances (the rest were some bbw body mists lol). so first off, this doesn't last very long on my skin but i kinda don't mind? i wear body mists most of the time so longevity is never a deal breaker for me. my issue is that i don't really get marshmallows from this perfume. i only get plasticky fruity and floral vibes from it. honestly it's not as sweet as it could be. but i used to wear this a lot in high school and really loved it lmao. i think now i prefer ari over slc since it's sweeter and i can actually smell the marshmallow note in it. my 3.4 fl oz of slc is on its last few sprays and i don't think i'm going to buy it again, but it was fun while it lasted. <3

Background for this review: I prefer to use a bit of essential oil and I tend to be sensitive to heavily fragranced products. Even perfumes worn by others often give me headaches so I'm on a scent mission.

I decided to blind buy the SLC bodyspray before committing to a full bottle after finding fragrantica and reading reviews. I figured the bodyspray would be a gentle way to experience the scent. Concentration aside, I agree with others that the longevity of this scent is disappointing. It was still fairly alcohol/hairspray at first and that hid any other top notes for me, but as it dried down I picked up that sugar/marshmallow note and that was very nice. Very bery nice. I enjoy genuine sweet scents and this was satisfyingly authentic. I've handmade marshmallows before and calling this fragrance 'immature' or 'childish' is inaccurate, and its sad that's used pejoratively. If anything this makes me remember my grandmothers 70s era kitchen and her baking deserts for church potlucks. Its a comforting, vintage 'made with real sugar' scent. Sadly that joy only lasted about 10 minutes before it faded into a vague powdery scent and then nothing at all. I didn't get any berry or even much floral. I like this better than most popular commercial fragrances but that brief sugar fix isn't enough for me, and I don't think I could get through the repeated hairspray opening or SLC product layering (lotions, bodyspray, perfume) that it would take. I'm not giving up on this because it was so satisfying, but I'm still looking for better.

Love SLC! I just wish it lasted longer. With Ari and Cloud I can get a little scent bubble going on for several hours, SLC not so much (even when using the body wash and lotion). It becomes a skin scent more quickly than the aforementioned. I usually pair it with the SLC body spray (which I got first) and it does helps to boost the scent though I feel like they are slightly different, at least to my nose. Tonight I layered SLC with bbw strawberry pound cake before bed and it is so yummy. Dunno if I’ll be using this combo to go to work in the office, but I will def vibe out with this creamy concoction on my downtime.

This is the first Ariana Grande fragrance that I bought and I am really enjoying it. I saw some people describe it as very sweet and juvenile but while it may not be as "sophisticated" or "mature" I still think this can be worn by any age if you like sweet scents. What I experience most with this fragrance is a whipped cream sweetness and what must be marshmallows, with an added fruitiness from the black currant, berry and pear notes. It is those notes that for me tone down the sweetness, and make it more refreshing. I think this fragrance could be worn in any season, even in the summer but maybe not on very hot, humid days. The longevity is a few hours, it is not a very "loud" scent, so you could definitely reapply after a while. I once got a compliment on it, shortly after I sprayed it, so I think the sillage is decent in close vicinity, but it is more of a skin scent.

It is a nice, cozy scent that I will probably be using more during the colder months. 🍦🍭🍐🍬

This perfume is so pretty. It's a lot lighter than Ari and it's very similar. The marshmallow note is more upfront in this one, where as in Ari it's blended very well with the other notes. I can detect the blackberries in the background. But what I really like about this fragrance is that for some reason I get a anise note when this settles on my skin even though it's not listed in the notes. I am very familiar with anise notes in perfumes. I personally adore it. My nose have become so sensitive to that particular note. They had to of use a little bit of anise alcohol for this like what's in B&BW fragrances such as Fireside Flurries which I can really get that hint of in the body mist and body lotion. Anise is also not listed in the notes, however it's in the ingredients.

Sweet Like Candy and Fireside Flurries are not the same by any means. The only thing they have in common is that they both have marshmallow notes and that same anise hint that I personally get from them.

I do not care if this makes me smell like a baby prostitute. This ish is delicious and reminds me of fun times.

Sickeningly sweet and bears a striking resemblance to a cheap body spray I had in highschool in the 00’s. Wears off within 30 mins. I’ll stick with cloud.

this was my signature scent for a minute, until i picked up ari. it has her signature dna and is in the same scent family, but feels a little more grown up to me. brown sugar, raspberry and grapefruit. less of a pure sugar thing.

that said, this is lovely and i still use it for a pick-me-up on days i dont go to work. it's definitely sweet, but not crazy sweet if youre already a gourmand lover. feels like more of a fluffy, lactonic thing to me than a jolly rancher.

bottom line - it has really good projection and longevity for the price. pick it up at Marshall's or one of the outlets, it's almost always there.

I owe SLC an apology! I never bothered smelling this one because of the name and branding, I thought it seemed really young and would be sickly sweet. But I tried it in the store the other day and omg it is gorgeous! I wouldn't say this is the sweetest of her scents at all; Ari has a burnt sugar/burnt marshmallow smell which I expected SLC to have but even more so, but turns out SLC is more juicy fruit, creamy, and warm sweet. It smells beautiful and I couldn't stop sniffing myself, so I purchased a bottle and have been getting compliments everytime I wear it. Cloud is still my favourite from Ariana, but SLC is up there with Moonlight as my next favourite.

Word of advice - don’t bother getting the 100ml bottles from AG, unless you’ve already tried the fragrance and know it works for you.
I LOVE sweet like candy, it honestly smells so good that it’s edible. The major cons are that it’s gone in 30mins and there’s no projection. Somehow - it was worse than moonlight and I didn’t even know that was possible, and it felt like moonlight disappeared immediately!!! I over sprayed the shit out of this juice and not much changed. It sucks because it’s affordable and smells delicious, but because of the lack of staying power I won’t purchase it again, which is such a shame.

I thought this was gonna be cloyingly sweet it’s not. The scent doesn’t last. And I’m totally biased here because any girl that was mean to me smelled like this! It’s hard to like sweet like candy because of that. I really wanted to like it but it’s a hard no. It’s fruity not overly sweet like candy lol.

Nice sweet girly scent. The problem is that projection is null, non-existant.

I don’t find it as sweet as I would expect it from the name (Ari and Cloud are much sweater in my opinion). I mostly get berries and bergamot. I was imagining it to be sweet and creamy but It’s rather fresh and fruity, which I don’t mind.

had this a few years ago; recall it being quite sweet, powdery and creamy, and just like the namesake, like candy 😊

This perfume smells like a cherry flavored lollipop when you first apply it on your skin. However, I have found that the scent disappears extremely fast and this disappointed me a little bit. I really do wish it lasted longer. I also want to draw attention to the design of the bottle, as it will not shatter when it is dropped (believe me I did drop it and I am glad it is not made of glass.... and thank god for the fluffy part too). I would say that this scent is a little young and immature, but wouldn't discourage adults from wearing it.

blind bought this after Ari and disapointed. definitly nothing to write home about.

indeed very sweet, but i don't really get candy with all the creaminess. it's much more like a fruit tart with all the berries and some floral accents. unfortunately does not last long, but could be nice for layering with other perfumes.

Sweet like candy has been my go to scent for a couple years now. It's cute, feminine, playful, and mixes well with so many different fragrances. If I could describe what I smell, I would say that it comes out with a very citrus and marshmallow mix which is so lovely. Then I notice as it dries down a bit you can smell more of the powder note. This is also my boyfriend's favorite fragrance I own, so it's popular with the guys as well if that is an important factor to you. Overall I would say this is a safe blind buy for most who like sweet scents and it is very affordable, so if you don't totally love it- you won't be loosing a whole lot of money. I recommend it to all of my friends even just to sweeten up other fragrances or to wear alone.

very cute and pretty scent. this scent is what girls that use sparkling body wash, wear silver and diamond jewelry, bows in their hair, pink matching sets and glittery lip gloss would use. i prefer using this in the winter as opposed to warm weather since it becomes less generic and gives off a frosted sugar berry scent. lasting power and sillage is also great for the price, but make sure not to overspray or it becomes sickly sweet.

This perfume is a few years old now, could be about 4 but I have re bought it 3 times because I loved the scent! So it’s a formulation from 2018/19. To be honest the power of it has decreased with age:(
Initial spray- fruity opening, smells like sour pears, blackberries, not so much the Bergamot but its there very slightly.
After an hour- smells like sweet blackcurrants and whipped cream, it’s much more soft than earlier, could be due to age though as it used to be stronger.
After three hours- mostly Jasmine, vanilla and whipped cream as of now, but the strength has decreased quite a bit, it lingers on the skin and doesn’t project as well as about an hour ago
After five hours- the scent is fading away now almost completely, all that’s left is like a faint vanilla whipped cream.
After ten hours- nothing now:) I’d probably reapply after 4 hours.
Sillage- 5/10
Longevity- 4.5/10 strongest for about 3 hours then quuuickly fades
Scent- 7.5/10

This is sweet! I can see how someone could think it’s cloying. I just get straight up powdered sweet tarts and sugar. There is a hint of a bright citrus which I think helps it not be too sweet. If you wanna smell pretty and delicious get this!

I don’t understand why people say Ari’s perfumes are for teenagers and some sort of “young audience”. Though they are mostly sweet, easy to wear and pleasant smelling, they are not “young”. In fact, perfumes neither have sex nor age - anyone can wear them the way they want and any time they like. This is why perhaps you see so many “unisex” tags among niche perfumes.
As it comes to this scent - I’m in my early thirties and I really like it. I’d say I love it if the longevity was more than 1hour and it did not evolve into a skin scent so fast. But I definitely smell the majority of the mentioned notes and this is a mouth-watering experience. Very yummy and pleasant.
I wish 100 ml bottle was not so heavy so it could be placed in a bag easily to refresh the scent during the day.

Thought I’d buy the edp after smelling the mist but they smell veryy different to me. The mist is more creamy & marshmallow-y, whereas the perfume is a lot more fruity & super bergamot-y😣 not what I expected!! Definitely prefer Ari over this

Not my usual scent profile AT ALL. But sometimes when i put on a certain outfit i want to smell like a teenage girl and this does the trick

Sweet tarts, marshmallow, citrus, vanilla heaven. I love layering with this one when I'm in the mood for an extra sugar boost with whatever else I'm wearing. It has poor longevity but I honestly don't mind it at this price point, I get to reapply throughout the day with wild abandon. :) It's youthful but it works for anyone who likes smelling fresh and sweet. I'm nearly 40 years old and this is a top 10 for me.

This fragrance comes to life in warm weather, I almost forgot. It's generic smelling in cold weather and in warm weather it's seductively sweet 🧁💗💗💗😋 mmmm, love it! Layer this with Valentina pink and you got yourself a summer sex kitten 🐾😍

Another cheap, generic , sweet mass produced scent.
I was super optimistic since I’m always looking for a nice gourmand. I researched and read reviews everywhere, at first I thought it was a bit expensive for a celebrity scent. But I went with it and bought it. I was instantly hit with alcohol and a reminiscence of a remade of fantasy by Britney Spears, this perfume sucks and has no staying power or silage, I gifted it to my 7 year old, she loves it. If you want to buy something nice buy save a penny and buy something nicer, not worth the price or anything very disappointed 😔

I’ve had this perfume twice, it was one of my first perfumes that got me into collecting! I went through the first bottle and my second bottle had a little less than half, but by then I was already over this fragrance. I ended up giving the rest to my cousin. It is very sweet, but I honestly just outgrew it. It is juvenile but nonetheless, a great fragrance. My cousin ended up buying her own bottle plus the body spray.

Perfect for teens or for anyone who wants to start collecting. It’s cute, sweet, and a nice pink scent. It CAN be a bit cloying and a tad bit synthetic. It is not a beast mode perfume, but great for everyday.

Perfect for picnics, shopping, and a nice day out in the sun. Nice to wear with shorts, skirts, sun dresses, natural makeup, ponies.

This really does smell like sweet candy.

"Childish" but hear me out! It smells like a children's body splash or bubble bath or hair detangling mist I had as a child (I can't quite remember what it is exactly) but it smells so nostalgic, fun and youthful to me. I don't really care if a perfume is juvenile or mature. If I like a scent, I'm going to wear it.
It smells like a fruity candy. Not sugary cotton candy but rather something like starburst or jolly rancher where it's sweet but also juicy. Very fun, girly and uplifting.
Not very long lasting but not too weak either. I get a good 4-5 hours of wear time. Projection is decent, maybe about an arms length but if I give myself a good heavy spritz I get compliments so people around me definitely smell it too.
Overall for the price I am very happy with it. It's a fun, sweet, young scent that brings me nostalgic memories. Easily accessible and adorable packaging. I will always have a bottle of this in my collection!

Late summer early fall is when this one is at her prettiest. All the rest of the year she's boring and a one note sweet, too sweet blah scent. That's my opinion but every time I wear it people always comment on how good I smell. I think it's very similar to velvet sugar except velvet sugar turns weird on me where as sweet like candy really works well with my chemistry. If I want to please others I choose this to wear but I'm not so crazy about it. Like I said late summer is when sweet like candy shows off all her notes and sings at her best and that's when I like to enjoy her. Any other time, although it garners compliments, I think it's waste to wear for she's just too plain Jane for my tastes.

I was hoping to love this because everyone says it's a creamy, delicious gourmand scent. On me, it smells like straight alcohol. It stings my nose when I smell it on any part of my body. I sprayed it and let it open a little, but just got bergamot and alcohol, no vanilla, cream, marshmallow, or cashmere.

very weak, smells nice but it fades so fast its not really worth it.

this smelled absolutely wonderful when i smelled it in store but when i bought it, it became a really boring and ”perfumey” (in a negative way) scent. it smells sweet yes, but that’s about it. though sometimes it has its days for sure, i usually wear this when i’m not doing anything important that day

A thick, creamy, whipped cashmere vanilla with dark berries. Good for layering or to wear to bed. First I detected a similarity to Burberry Her Elixir, but this one has the lactonic notes and keeps the (darker) berries in the background. I’ve never smelled Her Intense, but I wonder if this is closer to that one. Really well blended. Found at Ross for less than half of retail.

This is a cute bottle. The fragrance, however, gets a big fat no from me. The scent appears to dissipate very quickly. There is no longevity at all to it.

It smells very synthetic on me. There's nothing exciting about this scent, it comes across as really flat. I wanted to like it, but this one is not for me. Not feeling this at all.

I find that I reach for this often. For every day or when I need to put something on quick on my way out the door. It leans more feminine and is one of those floral yet not overwhelmingly powder scents. I think pink when I close my eyes. I bought this when it was still new. It lasts a long time on the skin.

I got a 100ml tester assuming it would have the same quality, but it smells like almost nothing. I looove the scent, that's why i got the 100ml and I did not care about the cap or box, but now i need like 15 sprays to smell something. Is my tester defectous or is this a VERY skin scent? Might get a 30ml to compare, but i'm very dissapointed

Sadly this smells like Juicy Couture which I despise. I don't get any marshmallow or any vanilla just gagging cassis and disgusting bergamont - Juicy couture cheap wannabe princess. Not a fan.

Cute, veryyy sweet, I wish I had this in middle or high school, I think I’ll mostly wear it when I’m cozy at home. I like it

I LOVE THIS PERFUME, I could see myself wearing it everyday

Smells sweet, tart, and sour. It smells similar to sour gummy worms, like the sugar powder pieces that are on the sour gummy worms. It also reminds me of sweet tarts. It doesn't really smell like marshmallow in my opinion, but the marshmallow makes it a little powdery, in a candy-sweet type of way. I think many people would like this type of scent, but it is an interesting scent as well. The projection is moderate/strong.

This scent is generic but pretty. It’s not a complicated perfume since I mainly smell sugar and berries. I wish the sugar/marshmallow notes smelled warmer and softer.

I really like this one. Probably one of the least offensive sweet smells I know. It's sweet and fruity but it isn't cloying at all. It also works on every setting. Very very hard to dislike.

The best way that I can describe her is that she's a fresh marshmallow fluff perfume. Quite sweet, but not particularly warm.

Great for a little girl! Also suitable for an adult who likes sweet lighter scents. I bought this in a body spray for a 10 year old. I know she will love it. For a more mature sweet scent I suggest Ari.

This is a sweet, tart, fruit punchy kinda fragrance. It gives me Britney's Fantasy vibes, which I happen to love. This smells so good! I'm getting strong blackberry and black currant notes in the opening and the dry down gives me the vanilla, marshmallow, and woody notes. It's an explosion of sweet and sour. I love it! Also, I haven't seen anyone talk about how it shimmers on the skin after spraying. It looks just as beautiful on the skin as it smells!

Such a beautiful sweet and creamy fragrance
Loved it when I tested it in the shop and love it even more wearing it properly all day
Lovely sweet scent which is very much my cup of tea
The creaminess makes it less generic or typical and not really what i expected based purely on name.
Last quite a while too (were at over 4 hours and I can still smell it subtly on my skin) beautiful bottle too

Would definitely re-purchase

Can’t wait to try some layering combos with this

I absolutely adore this scent the most from all of Ariana's line of fragrances! I've reapplied this fragrance next to friends (specifically girl-friends) multiple times and every single one of them liked it! So in summary, I haven't met any guy or girl who's disliked this fragrance yet. I've almost never finished any perfume as a whole bottle before but this one, I've finished 30ml version in less than 5 months! I think I've found one of my favorite fragrances of all time :)

It's a nice subtle sweet fragrance. Nothing really special though. I feel like the pear note is a bit too harsh and sharp. I generally don't like pear in fragrances though coz it's all my skin will pickup. But one of the better ariana fragrances

My first ever EDP, Ari’s fragrances don’t last very long but it smells amazing if you layer it under a basic Bath and Body Works Body Mist. I’m not very good at identifying notes yet but it’s sweet and fruity.

It smells like Crème Chantilly with a hint of fruit. It is light and does not offend those around you. For me, the longevity is from light to moderate.

Frankly, there are fragrances that are better and longer lasting than this one, like Lattafa’s Yara, Blueberry Musk by Arabiyat Prestige, JPG’s La Belle, Afnan’s Faten White and so on.

smells like justin bieber perfume

So I'm nose blind to Cloud and I thought maybe this one would work. I got the mist not the edp. I really can't smell anything at all. I tried soaking my arm in it and I get a barely there sent off nonspecific citrus. Bad blind buy.

Tart, punchy and fruity. I don't know if I think it smells like candy, but if it does it's more like artificial sour gummies than soft marshmallows or whipped cream as the notes imply. The pear and the blackberry are in fact the only notes I can really pick out. It reminds me of something you would get as a free gift from a tween magazine in the 00s. Very girly and quite cheap smelling but the dry down does make it better. With that said my boyfriend prefers this over all perfumes I own and all the other perfumes I've made him smell during the years. I don't know what it is but I guess it is the girly sweetness that does it. I don't dislike it despite my criticism. It's a simple, cute scent that I can see being an easy grab during the summer months.

This was my first scent I had ever gotten, it really is such a beautiful scent, the marsh mellow and whipped cream really adds a nice sweetness to it yet it's not a sickeningly sweet scent. I think the vanilla, jasmine, and blackberry really make it so it doesn't smell like straight up candy. Despite the name 'Sweet Like Candy' I really don't go for anything sweet or sugary but this one was different, something about it was just really beautiful and blended in with my natural scent. However this doesn't last too long which is such a bummer because I really like the scent.

I was looking forward to this one as I love a couple of Ari's fragrances, but this one is a big no from me. There's a note or an accord that is similar between this and Britney's Midnight Fantasy which I dislike as it reminds me of Ribena or blackcurrent Halls Soothers. For reference, I never really enjoyed blackcurrant flavours! I get on with Midnight Fantasy OK, but Sweet Like Candy makes me feel nauseous as it's so sickly sweet. It's probably the 'youngest' smelling of Ari's range that I've tried. For reference, my favourites are Cloud and R.E.M.

Sweet and sour candy. Blueberry flavored. That's it. The scent is very uplifting, and yes, quite childish... but it's really fun regardless. As many people commented, the performance department is lacking a little. I think going for the body mist might be a better investment except you want to collect the beautiful baby pink bottle.

Unfortunately this smelled like a sour sweet mess on me, I was so upset because I really wanted to love it

it smells like sugar on steroids. the cheap perfume you had as a kid with a disney character that smelt too sugary. it smells cheap, but it’s okay for people that literally want to smell sweet like candy

Nice sweet fruity/floral gourmand scent!
I bought this and Ari as a blind buy, and I do not regret it at all. They're both really nice. And sweet, really sweet, wich I love personally. :)
I love the sugar, marshmallow, raspberry, pear, whipped cream, vanilla all combined together, like a creamy sweet smoothie dessert.
I have zero knowledge or interest in her as an artist but 'm very curious to try the other fragrances from her!
Only thing I'm not totally satisfied with is the lasting power, but that's often the case when it comes to floral fruity gourmand scents, unfortunately. Can't have it all right?

The smell of feeling beautiful

In all of the perfumes I own I can tell which notes are top notes and which are base notes. They all develop and transform with time. This perfume is just a mush of sweet fruity florals all mixed together. I cannot distinguish different notes at all, which is why this reminds me either of children’s shampoo or maybe bath & body works hand sanitizer. This would work if you’re 12 but not for a 30 year old woman like me.

I think this one reacts strangely with my body chemistry. I don't get much of the marshmallow or vanilla, though I do get the creaminess. No florals, but pear at first and later the blackberry and black currant. No bergamot per se, but I wonder if it's making the whole concoction sour on me. Sweet Like Yogurt maybe.

Compliments getter for sure. When I wear it, every single human soul reacts like I’m a some kind divine earth Angel. It’s almost like in a movie Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Reactions are insane. Yes it’s fluffy and cute, like gummy bears covered with sugar powder.

WHAT AN AWESOME SCENT!

Its definetly for the fruity gourmand lovers, mainly leaning on the fruity side (the italian pear scent is really dominant)
This was a blind buy mainly because of the performance, the bottle is cute, the box is cute, the perfume notes made me fall in love and I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT.

once you spray it you instantly smell a fruit ( could be blackberry or pear it really depends, everyone smells different things ngl) the pear is dominant when i spray it on my skin whereas the berry dominates when i spray it on my clothes and sniff it.
the dry down is a sweet powdery marshmallow ( idk how else to describe it,just sniff some powdered sugar and you'll know what i'm talking about)
i like how i don't smell any florals since i'm not a huge fan of those but i think they do a good job with balancing all the other notes.

don't think twice just buy it. if you love gourmands you'll love this.

Fluffy sweet marshmallow + yummy fruits + pretty florals!

Get this if you want compliments 💗✨ my picky boyfriend complimented me on this one! This is so perfect, feminine, sweet, and creamy without being too immature :) Highly recommend trying. This is the perfect marshmallow gourmand

i personally used this perfume heavily during my 6th-8th grade time period, safe to say i adored it. it lasted very long and it had a sweet scent, reminding me of a candy shop. would repurchase for the nostalgia 100%!

I recently got this as a gift and I've heard good things, so I was excited to try it out. I wanted to like it so bad and have it be my go to scent for the winter, but it just doesn't sit well with me. I'm not sure if it's just the chemistry of it with my skin, but it smelled like a sour candy and just very synthetic. Sometimes I get a little nauseous when I smell it and it makes my nose tingle in a weird way. I wouldn't buy it for myself and it'll probably just sit on the shelf forever or I'll gift it to someone. I hope this helps and that you have a better experience with it than I did :)

I tried this bc I like her Cloud. I hate this bottle. That little puff is so cheezy and looks like its a magnet for dirt. A lot of her scents smell like they could be flankers. That's not a bad thing. If its not broke, then dont fix it. On my skin this was soft and blah. Not a terrible scent, its just soft sweet nothings. I need more umph in my life. I could see this perfect for a teeny bopper. I think Bath & Body Works are trying hard to dupe her entire like. Much success to Arianna and I look forward to always at least sampling whatever she puts out.

This is currently my favourite perfume. I like how it lasts on my clothes and skin. It's fairly long lasting and got me a bunch of compliments. My jacket smells like this and it is very pleasant. Nothing too special and not too mature. I would say it's flirty and innocent. It's just sweet and I'm a sucker for sweet and floral scents. This one is harmonious and can be layered with almost everything that's compatible with sweet smell. As I said it's currently my favourite and I'm kind of obsessed with it

Sweet, young, playful scent and not offensive. Affordable and great for anytime. I smell something powdery not sure where it's coming from tho... 7/10

Very sweet and young, get many compliments and makes me feel nice.

Sweet like candy is a very girly and sweet perfume. I wouldn't say that it's a gourmand type of sweet scent but more of a playful and flirty type of sweet. It's very heavy on the marshmallow and with a hint of flowers. I wasn't exactly mind blown with this scent but I did like it enough to have it in my collection.

I got this along with Fancy at TJ Maxx. I like SLC better of the 2. It’s more original. It smells like hard candy. Think life savers or jolly ranchers. The only negative is I get 0 projection unless I’m sitting in the sun or doing something active. It needs heat.

This scent gives me youthful, mainstream, pop celebrity fragrance, Victoria Secret vibes. BUT tastefully done - without the alcoholic smell. I say "mainstream" because I think regardless of your age or preference in fragrances, it undeniably smells good. It's quite safe. This scent reminds me of a group of teenage girls walking around the mall batting their eyelashes at boys on a Friday night or a female in her early 20s going to the club with her girlfriends. I could also see someone in her early 30s who is pretty, very girly, loves make up, false lashes, confident, outgoing, flirty, not passionate about fragrances, but wants to smell good, wearing this. It's like a chantilly cake without the almond. It's a linear sweet fruity scent that smells good. Btw, in no way am I negatively judging anyone, it's just how I would describe a scent or who I'd envision wearing it. I like this scent and would probably wear this once in a blue moon when I want to channel in my youthful outgoing side.

Sweet Like Candy is much better than I expected. The creamy-tangy fruits and florals in the first few minutes are pretty darn sweet. I can see where some get a cotton candy vibe and I think that would be from the marshmallow. They’re both cooked sugar treats with their own comforting scent. Oddly, the next phase for me is one that smells like fruit jellies or gummi bears covered in milk chocolate. That’s got to be the cashmere wood note. It’s smooth, soft, and creamy and what I find to be the most important note in this blend. In the end, the Frangipani and Jasmine float in the air like the best pink bubblegum scent. It all works together to create something playful, sweet, and joyful. Makes me think of chocolate musk and berry marshmallows. It smells nothing like Flowerbomb or Pink Sugar to me. They’re not sister scents but they could be cousin scents for the creamy sweetness they all have. I thought I liked this but I really love it.

My 3rd favourite Ari fragrance! It's very sweet but not overpowering. It makes you feel quite young wearing it. A good gift for a young individual as a starting perfume as the price is low too! It lasts less than the other Ari fragrances I find but it still lasts for 4/5 hours, which is still quite good! Love the packaging too. Overall I would give this perfume 8/10!

This was my signature scent in Freshman year of high school. It's super sweet, feminine, and fruity. I rarely wear this anymore, just because it feels a little juvenile, but I think it's great for anyone who likes sweet or fruity smells. I got this because I had a deep hatred for floral scents when I was younger, and this is a very inoffensive, non-floral perfume. Nothing I would buy again, but it still brings back memories and is a good beginning scent.

I love Sweet Like Candy, but it smells nothing like the name suggest on me. I get the fruity and I get the powdery, but I don’t get any of the sweetness it claims to have. To me it smells very formal.

Also, the longevity isn’t all that great if applied on your skin, but it does last quite a while if applied to your clothing!

Unfortunately, I only got the sour candy accord the very first time I tried this. But on all instances I tried this perfume, its uniqueness faded away really quick and the whole blend turned into yet another generic sweet perfume. It has very low sillage at that.

To me, it's the most underwhelming AG fragrance, I don't have much to say. Still, it smells pleasant. It would make an appropriate first perfume to a very young girl imo, if she likes sweet scents and/or is an Ariana Grande fan.

i love this perfume so so so much, i just wish it lasted longer and had better sillage

This scent is nice, it has a sweet fruity opening. The bergamot is a nice touch, you can only smell it so slightly but it helps balance it out I think. From there, it fades into an even sweeter, fruity scent where I can still smell the black currant, but it’s more sugary and a bit creamier. The dry down is a milky, sweet scent which I’m sort of on the fence about. I think this is a nice perfume, but maybe a bit too sweet for my liking. The longevity on skin is a few hours, and on my clothes lasts forever. I may consider purchasing a full bottle of this, but I’m not 100% sold on it.

my favorite one! soooo sweet, i love it

Whipped cream in a perfume bottle! That's it. Best for layering.

This one will rot your teeth. I love sweet fragrances, but this was way too much for me. Very synthetic, fruity and sugary.

Very fruity sweet and synthetic. I had to pass it on to my younger sister as it really doesn't suit my style anymore.

i am pretty disappointed in this fragrance i can’t lie. i was expecting to really like this but for some reason it just smells like straight up alcohol and really synthetic sugary sweetness that isn’t pleasant at all. i honestly wouldn’t even give this to a 5 year old. this is by far the sweetest perfume i have ever smelled and not in a good way. i was surprised looking at the reviews on this as most are positive.. maybe i got a bad batch or something? i have no idea, but it’s just a no. it’s excruciatingly alcohol scented it’s insane for the price aswell, i honestly wouldn’t even pay 50p for this if i would have smelled it beforehand. no no and NO

ariana's perfumes remind me so much of high school, which i do think speaks to the type of scent sweet like candy is. sweet like candy is overall just a very generic sweet scent that is a bit sickly to me, something i have definitely grown out of.

i wanted to love this one so much, But that lactonic note is so strong it was killing me..

Sweet like candy is the the more creamier and fruitier version of Ari thanks to all the additional fruits and whipped cream! It reminds me of the Victoria’s secret body mist “Pure Daydream” thanks to the black/red currant note that they both share. This is a very sweet, lactonic cotton candy perfume, it’s even sweeter than Ari. I sense the black currant, blackberry and pear alongside the marshmallow and whipped cream and I love it!! The dry down is a powdery vanilla which is beautiful. On me I could still smell the scent after 10 hours but at that point I had to put my wrist directly to my nose to be able to smell it. It’s pretty inoffensive as it’s not a heavy sweet perfume, so it doesn’t project too much.

Ik I’m probably gonna sound like a snob because I do genuinely like this fragrance but it just doesn’t have any depth on me at all like it’s just sweet and that’s it.. I think this would be perfect for a young girl like middle school or high school age though

I LOVE the creaminess of this perfume however there’s something in it that smells like vomited up sugary cocktails. Barely lasts 15 minutes on me and that might be a good thing. Smells soo good at first but goes downhill quick.

perfect for any girly girl such a young scent my favorite ariana perfume

Personally I think this would be great for someone in middle school or high school, It’s very sweet juvenile scent but anyone of any age can obviously wear anything they want. I personally wouldn’t repurchase.

A "nice" perfume that gives a very juvenile feeling, maybe the sort of thing a teenage girl would wear. There's not much to say, as the name says it's sweet but I'm not sure if it got the candy down entirely right-The aroma is synthetic and really nothing special. It is the kind of perfume I would wear to go to the mall in a hurry and only cared about smelling pleasant, but that's about it. I can't feel anything gourmand about it. I wish it could be fresher, after a while it's just too heavy.

Oh.my.god. this perfume is the start of my perfume collection and obsession. Nothing compearessss. It's such a yummy gourmand girly (but who gives af about genders honestly) and I feel a million times more confident with a single spray. I'm in uni and money is tight and it aint that cheap honestly, but goddammit I will ALWAYS repurchase. Her best, sad thar her new mod perfumes are so underwhelming. I had to stop my guy friend from biting me once, sweet like candy is really that biatch when it comes to gourmand perfumery. Girl, just order it already!!💅💅🍭

to me this smells exactly like vs pink wild at heart, way too girly and sweet for my taste

I just took this out for my fragrance rotation shelf after a year and I’ve fallen in love again. This is so different than I remember it! It’s very sweet while also having a sense of sophistication. It’s not a gross sickly sweet like other gourmands can be, it’s complex and creamy. Love.

Smells like melted plastic to me. Not at all what I expected. So far Ariana Grande’s fragrances are not it for me.

There aren't a lot of affordable gourmand and sweet perfumes where I live so I simply adore this! It's just so fluffy and smells of marshmallows and sweetness. But it is not sickly sweet. Only negative is that it doesn't last long. I think this would smell best in the autumn and winter months as it's just so creamy and soft.

i have every ariana grande fragrance (other then the two new mod ones!) and i do like this perfume a lot but i believe this and moonlight are probably the most forgettable out of her collection, but i do love moonlight as it feels more softly sweet compared to sweet like candy, i much prefer the limited edition sweet like candy as it’s not as sour as this one, i wish the whipped cream was in the first layer of notes! this fragrance would be beautiful if it was creamier and softer :(

I'm a gourmand fan before anything else, which is why, after owning Ari for years, I really wanted to get this candy marketed perfume... which is nearly as sweet as Ari. Again, it feels like Ariana Grande was really involved in creating Ari but not in any other of her fragrances... really citrussy at first, does transfer to something sweet, but the performance and sillage is far from descent... I love cloud and ari, but any other of her fragrances is just your typical low effort celebrity fragrance... I don't get much sweetness at all

Smells like creamy marshmallows with hints of blackberry and bergamot. Something about the bergamot makes it smell like a tart dessert. Doesn't last quite long but I love this scent sm.🍨🫐🍋🍬

Remember Katy Perry Meow? This is very much the same perfume.

It's essentially a cotton candy , young soft scent. Very much the stereotypical celebrity perfume from 10 years ago.

Cute, sweet and nothing special.

So me personally I don't like this perfume it's not even that sweet as I thought it would be but I had my mom try and she loves it so if you love the notes I recommend :)

I bought this perfume about a month ago. The longevity on skin is so/so, but it lingers lightly on clothes and in the hair a bit more. I really like the sweetness. A good bedtime perfume or when you’re feeling girly and sweet. Came here to say to me it smells SO much like “falling in love” by philosophy. It’s the blackberry and lactonic notes. Reminds me of black raspberry ice cream 😋 you get more bang for your buck by using with a body lotion and body spray. Some of the sets come with the edp and those items included, but I’ve been using warm vanilla sugar lotion by bbw and strawberry shortcake body spray by bbw because it’s what I have on hand. If you’re not a sweets person, you won’t like this. But I have my times when it calls for it, and I’m also a huge Ari fan.

I'm someone who absolutely loves warm, gourmand scents. This is my first luxury-ish perfume, as I am a teen. I don't normally go for ultra sweet perfumes, but this is actually that type of sweet that is the perfect balance between being sweetly non-intrusive and also bouisy with its vanilla cashmere type scent. I'm just in utter love with the scent, and the bottle's pink matte sheek and sharp edges make me want to use it every day, no matter what I'm wearing.

A wonderfully fruity scent! I love the use of blackberry! And while it is a young smelling, it can easily be worn by anyone. It is very uplifting. Ms. Grande sure does know how to make a scent!

The name is very fitting. Definitely the sweetest smelling perfume that I own, but it’s not overbearing! It only lasts about 30 minutes on my skin before it fades into nothingness :( because of that it’s very linear, smells the same throughout the entire 30 minute drydown.

Admittedly I have let it sit on the shelf for a few months, and I just sprayed my wrist 4 times (on account of it being so weak) about 10 minutes ago, and something about it smells sort of like… pickles? Something salty and pickled. Weeeeird

I’m such a sucker for sweet scents and this perfume has absolutely filled my craving. It’s so sweet and nice to smell and it doesn’t make you feel sick. I have also gotten a lot of compliments when wearing this perfume. I’m so gonna buy this again!

It smells like a weaker version of Ari by Ariana Grande. This smells great and of course very sugary sweet, but it doesn’t last long on me and doesn’t really wow me. It’s cute for sure though.

I’m usually not one for super sweet fragrances but this is a joyful and fluffy delight. It reminds me of Creme Savers. I just wish it projected more and lasted longer, but at such a low price I don’t mind topping up during the day.

Love it

Has this been reformulated? When i've been trying this at stores it projects more, but now when i bought it to myself, i spray it and it just disappears! I'm really sad right now 'cuz i love this scent, but now when i think about it i had this same issue with Cloud 🤷🏻♀️

This perfume is pretty nice, I enjoyed it although honestly I wish it lasted longer and projected more. This perfume is sweet and fluffy, very cozy scent that I really enjoyed.

The only thing that keeps this perfume as a "Like" and not "Love" is the sillage and particularly sometimes I feel a slightly sourness to it? I'm not quite sure how to explain. It makes it smell slightly off but by no means ruins the sweetness, just a slight bit weird if I pay close enough attention to it. I don't think I will repurchase but its a pretty and sweet scent I don't regret that I purchased.
My favorite scent from Ariana is Ari, for the sweet raspberry notes that make it a juicier sweetness than Sweet like Candy.

I was hoping to like this but it fell flat for me. It was a decent, pleasantly generic, lightly sweet scent at first, but it dried down to something that smelled a bit spoiled. To my nose it's something like 80% marshmallow, 10% cold fruits, and 10% old milk. Not just terrible, but I wouldn't purchase it. Verrrry subtle scent, by the way.
Maybe I tested from a bad bottle - I'll have to try it again and see if my opinion changes.
