Moonlight

2017

“Plum, blackcurrant, and marshmallow on vanilla — Ariana's softest, fades faster than it sparkles.”

Moonlight

powdery

A fruity-sweet 2017 release from Ariana Grande, following Ari (2015) and Sweet Like Candy (2016): plum and black currant over marshmallow, settling on vanilla. Fruity and sweet accords lead, with powder and a soft floral facet. Unusually even between day and night, and worn across spring, fall and winter more than summer.
