Speaking of food comparisons, I myself would describe CLOUD PINK as a perfume that smells like a freshly baked upside-down pineapple cake, the kind that’s still way too hot and gooey to dig into but you do it anyway. I found that the trail felt a bit more prominent compared to the original CLOUD and possibly even more long-lasting, which makes me think that it could be a great nighttime fragrance too. Similar to the original, CLOUD PINK makes me feel “put together”, like someone who packs balanced meals to work, manages to stay on top of her emails and never forgets to take vitamin D and iron supplements on the daily.
Don’t get me wrong, Ari really meant business when she called it a “sister scent”, so don’t expect it to be drastically different from the original CLOUD – because it isn’t. But that’s not to say that if you already own one, you probably don’t need the PINK version. Case in point: personally, I prefer the CLOUD PINK to the original, simply because I’m someone who adores a warm and fruity sweet scent. Heck, I can even picture myself layering them both together on the days when I want a bit of a CLOUD pick-me-up.
When will Ariana Grande CLOUD PINK launch in the UK?
Ariana Grande CLOUD PINK is set to launch on September 6th and will be available both in-store and online at Boots, Superdrug, The Perfume Shop and The Fragrance Shop. So set your reminders now, because we predict that it will be yet another sell-out hit.
The Final Verdict: CLOUD PINK perfume
Personally, I enjoyed the CLOUD PINK, possibly (dare I say) even more than the original CLOUD. Sure, they’re undeniably similar and share some of the key notes that we all have come to love ever since the original CLOUD hit the shelves in 2018. Still, after wearing both of them separately throughout the past few days, I can confirm that the difference is much more noticeable after prolonged wear.
To me, CLOUD PINK seems like a fun and more of an extraverted sibling of the original CLOUD, and if you’re after a fruity twist, then you’ll absolutely love it. Don’t expect a drastic change or a completely new perfume. But if there’s one thing I know for sure is that anyone who swears by CLOUD will adore CLOUD PINK. Think about it in the same way as you would when you love a bag so much that you would buy it in another colour to match a different set of outfits depending on your mood.
