Ariana Grande's new Cloud Aurora Eau de Parfum has launched just in time for the London leg of her Eternal Sunshine tour, and our senior beauty writer has already named it the perfect everyday scent for autumn.
The 100ml bottle costs £55, while the 30ml bottle is £35. It is the latest addition to her iconic Cloud fragrance line and is designed to transition from summer into autumn.
Notes and Fragrance Profile
Cloud Aurora combines light sweetness with sharper, fruity tones, balancing the last of summer with warmth for colder seasons. Top notes include spun sugar, fluffy musk and blackcurrant, while heart notes are vanilla glazed petals and sandalwood.
Base notes are vanilla smoke, amber and blonde woods, sticking to the Cloud range's signature sweet, vanilla-based fragrance. The addition of blackcurrant and woody notes gives it a sharper, warmer scent suited to colder weather.
Everyday Wear and Comparisons
The perfume is described as an everyday scent, rather than an all-day or evening one, because it remains light and fresh. Its longevity is not as powerful as desired, requiring more frequent top-ups, but its affordability makes that less of a concern.
For a more evening-ready option, LOVENOTES in Vanilla Suede is a favourite, with bergamot, sandalwood and vanilla suede notes. It costs £75 for 125ml, offering more longevity and a cosier scent for both day and evening wear.
Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmic Intense Eau de Parfum is another popular celebrity scent, priced at £60 for 100ml, combining vanilla with amber, jasmine and blood orange for a creamy, warm fragrance.
Packaging and Availability
Cloud Aurora comes in the range's signature rainbow-and-cloud shaped bottle with a pearlescent sheen. When purchased from LookFantastic, customers currently receive a free Ariana Grande Cloud Bag Charm, while stocks last, awarded at the basket.
