Ariana Grande Cloud 2.0 Intense Eau de Parfum

Most Helpful Positive Review

extremely satisfying for a celebrity perfume!!

i'm fairly new to the perfume game, so needless to say, i'm no expert. layering is also a new thing for me. i know, i know, "yOu DoN't NeEd To LaYeR," but hey, to each their own. i digress. for some context, V&R Flowerbomb has been my favorite perfume for YEARS. so, after learning a little about la...yering, i was on a mission to find something that paired well with it. and yes, FB is VERY STRONG on its own. i have and will sometimes continue to wear it on its own. but i thought it'd be a fun experiment while learning about layering. anyways, there wasn't really a whole lot that came up in my research. however, a few people said to pair FB with the OG Cloud. so, i set off to find myself a bottle of it. to my disappointment, it was sold out at a lot of the stores i went looking. but, Cloud Intense was available. i was nervous to try this, as i know that intense scents can differ greatly from their OG scents. i recently got YSL Libre Intense because the OG Libre felt like it was missing some things, and in my opinion, it is very different from its predecessor. despite my concerns, and due to lack of another option, i went with Cloud Intense. and i was not disappointed. to me, i feel as though Cloud 2.0 balances FB perfectly. the lavender in Cloud 2.0 pairs exquisitely with the florals of FB, while also intensifying the more spicy vanilla scent. it almost calms FB down, but not at all in a bad way. it also kind of ages it down. mind you, i'm 20, about to be 21 next month. i've heard a few of my close friends/family say that FB by itself smells a little like old lady. i couldn't care less because i love FB with my whole heart. but Cloud 2.0 definitely adds a more sweet, sultry aspect to FB. speaking on the longevity of Cloud 2.0. i know perfumes preform differently on everyone. but for me, i think it lasted quite a while. but to be completely honest, after just buying it today, i didn't really give it a chance to see how long it lasts with only one application. i loved the pairing so much that i just couldn't stop applying it. and it wasn't for a lack of smell, i just couldn't get enough of it lol. all in all, i think that Cloud 2.0 is a very lovely scent on its own. it's feminine, with a slight bit of masculine hidden within, which i am obsessed with. and with FB, it only gets better.
