Ariana Grande
Cloud Intense
“Whipped cream and praline over cashmere musk — Cloud denser, plastic bottle and all.”
The 2021 Intense version of Ariana Grande's 2018 Cloud: lavender and pear open onto whipped cream and praline over a musky, woody base. Sweet and musky accords lead, with woody, amber and lactonic facets. It keeps the airy, creamy sweetness of the original but sits denser and warmer, with a more pronounced woody-amber drydown. Wears strongest in winter and fall, versatile day-to-night.
