Ariana Grande
Sweet Like Candy
“Blackberry whipped cream and marshmallow — Ariana's sugar-bomb dessert play, lives close to the skin.”
Whipped cream and marshmallow carry Ariana Grande's 2016 Sweet Like Candy, a sugary fruity gourmand opening on blackberry and pear. Sweet accords lead by a wide margin, with a creamy, lactonic softness underneath and a light white-floral trace in the heart. A 2017 Limited Edition extended the name. Wears strongest in spring with summer close behind, and leans firmly toward daytime.
