Ariana Grande Mod Vanilla

2022

“A soft vanilla-praline hug. The cozy winter scent you wear for yourself first.”

Mod Vanilla
sweet
vanilla
powdery

A powdery vanilla from Ariana Grande's 2022 lineup: plum opens onto praline and orris over a vanilla base. Sweet and vanilla accords share the lead, with a powdery, musky softness underneath; the fruit stays secondary to the powdery vanilla core. Frequently compared to Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '40 (2021). Wears strongest in winter and fall, leaning daytime.
