In the words of Nicki Minaj, “Ariana, what are you doing here?”

Ari was the musician’s very first perfume and one that we would base her scent preferences on. A debut is a debut.

The first burst of scent from first spray is definitely raspberry, followed by a strong floral from the rose and lily middle notes. It does dry down to be more subtle very quickly. With such an intricate marriage of floral, fruity and gourmand scents, it makes it pretty universal to most people’s tastes. Yum.

Top notes: Raspberry, pear and grapefruit

Middle notes: Vanilla orchid, rose and lily-of-the-valley

Base notes: Marshmallow, musk and woody notes
