Ariana Grande r.e.m. Cherry Eclipse Eau de Parfum

I never thought that I would have to rate an Ariana Grande perfume so lowly. I have LOVED her perfumes over and over again and I am not afraid to admit that I once had all of her perfumes at once. It was practically a shrine. But when I received this sample for R.E.M. Cherry Eclipse in my Ulta Savings Magazine this month, I nearly felt sick to my stomach the second the sample was opened. It was then that I learned that the main note in the perfume is cherry, and unfortunately it's not the tasty kind of cherry scent. It's nearly medicinal, and even though it has other scent notes such as meringue, jasmine, and musk, the cherry is way too powerful to be subdued by those other aromas. This all comes down to personal preference — I know a lot of people who have smelled the same perfume and LOVE it to death. But then there's me, who cannot stand cherry-scented products. This is incredibly unfortunate, as I love all of the fragrances Ariana Grande has released over the years. But unfortunately, this perfume is not for me. 1/10 would NOT purchase.💔

I am not good at describing scents but I usually steer towards woodsy smells like amber and vanilla. This one is completely different but I loved the smell immediately. It's not overpowering and reminds me of spring and youth. I would give it a higher rating if I lasted longer. It's almost like a mist and does not last more than a couple hours unfortunately :/ I would rate 3.5 rounded up to 4.

my daughter loved this product. it was a great gift.

This smells great and is a wonderful addition to the Ariana Grande collection. It is pretty long lasting, especially if you use a body oil or lotion fresh out of the shower. Not overpowering and doesn't have a strong alcohol smell. I would definitely recommend!

This one was more powdery and musky than I was expecting, and I really wish the juicy cherry note stuck around longer, because that note vanishes on me within minutes. The cherry is bright and mouthwatering, not cough syrup. I really enjoy the drydown. it's sweet musky marshmallow with a faint floral afterthought. Girly, straightforward, well-blended and pretty inoffensive, but more interesting than a body mist. I have most of her frags and this one actually has great sillage. I accidentally choked out my family by only using 3 sprays, so go easy on your clothes. On skin there's a faint sweet musk left over at 4 hours. Honestly not bad at all for Ari fragrances. I just might empty my 3.4 oz bottle, this will be a first for me!
