This is not a drill: Ariana Grande's latest fragrance is now available to shop in the UK, having just launched earlier this week. Meet CLOUD PINK, a “sister-scent” to the original CLOUD perfume – AKA the scent that broke the internet.

I'm sure that we can all agree that the Ariana Grande CLOUD perfume needs no introduction, especially for us #PerfumeTok obsessives who probably spend way too much time figuring out what our next signature scent will be. And even if you're not into sweet perfumes, chances are, you've come across this addicting scent more than once on your For You Page.

In fact, the fragrance community has practically crowned CLOUD as the perfume of all perfumes, with “#arianagrandecloud” having amassed over 21 million views on TikTok, and deservedly so. Our resident GLAMOUR perfume expert Alice du Parcq recalled that the smell reminds her of “warm, slightly undercooked, doughy waffles. Those proper, ladled-into-a-grill waffles that come out crispy and caramelised outside, but soft and batter-thick inside,” and I couldn't agree more. This cult-favourite perfume is one of my favourite go-to “office day” scents that regularly gets me stopped and quizzed on the street (the ultimate compliment, if you ask me).

Naturally, when I heard that CLOUD PINK was about to make its way to the UK, my excitement was through the roof. A pink version of one of my favourite perfumes ever? Sign me up.

• Our verdict: A beautiful everyday scent with a fruity twist that carries the same DNA of the original CLOUD yet still manages to impress. If you're after a Barbiecore perfume that's warm and sensual yet simultaneously fun and sweet, then this is the one for you.

2023 has been the year of the Barbiecore aesthetic – from fashion to makeup and even interiors trends, it's safe to say that pink is pretty much everywhere (not that we're complaining in any way). The cherry on top? ‘Barbie perfumes’ are taking #PerfumeTok by storm, and not just thanks to their aesthetically pleasing pink packaging, but because of how fun they are and, most importantly, how they make you feel about yourself: confident, proud and unapologetically feminine. And having already smelled CLOUD PINK, that's exactly how I would describe it.

What does Ariana Grande CLOUD PINK smell like?

Make no mistake, CLOUD PINK very much shares the same DNA of the original CLOUD. You still get the warm and cosy whiff of vanilla orchid, a touch of the sweet and almost edible praline – all complimented by a combination of sensual musky and woody notes. After all, the nose behind this scent is Clement Gavarry, the perfumer behind the original CLOUD.

That being said, CLOUD PINK is definitely more on the fruitier side, especially if we're talking about the opening. The top notes of pineapple and berries are quite evident without being too overpowering. As the scent settles, you'll be met with a comforting whiff of vanilla orchid, coconut and praline (same as you would with the original CLOUD). To my surprise, however, the base notes of CLOUD PINK were noticeably different to the original – the amber woods and musk felt more intensified, possibly thanks to the touch of magenta moss. Personally, I preferred the way it lingered on throughout the day even more than I did with the CLOUD (and that's saying a lot). In some ways, it seemed even warmer and cosier after a few hours of wear.
