Moonlight by Ariana Grande

I already owned it in mist and loved it. It’s an elegant, soft scent, nothing imposing. I see it as perfect for formal night parties. It’s the nocturnal version of Ari: while Ari is fruity, sparkling, and that shy pink friend, Moonlight is the reserved, calm, sweet purple maternal friend.

A very pretty, feminine, and sweet perfume without being cloying. I bought it blind based on the packaging for my collection and really liked it; it’s addictive. It smells of plum, talc, and marshmallow. It’s a lovely, tender fragrance.

The first thing I notice is the bonbon, which dries down to become fresh (plum and blackcurrant) and powdery, definitely talc-y. It’s a very soft scent with low longevity and sillage. Ideal for layering because it fades quickly. Apart from that, it suits any occasion, day or night.

Delicious; it was my first Ariana Grande perfume and I fell in love so much I almost own them all, but this is my favourite. They compliment me and everyone likes it, but… it lasts nothing! I put it on and it’s gone in 30 minutes, leaving nothing behind and transforming into just vanilla and plum. Sad. Scent: 11/10, Sillage: 2/10, Longevity: 2/10.

A sad disappointment. The scent is sweet, fruity, and powdery, but not like talc, rather fluffy, like a bonbon without being childish. It’s not cloying; it’s addictive, beautiful, delicate, and feminine. But what’s the point if the performance is non-existent? It’s a fleeting scent; even with cream, perfume, and body spray together, you can’t detect it on skin or clothes.

I’d give anything for it to last longer and project more… It’s delicious, fruity, and powdery, with just the right floral touch. I feel that among all Ariana Grande perfumes, this one doesn’t get much attention, as it’s not as popular as Cloud or Thank U, Next, yet it’s exquisite and the bottle is gorgeous. I imagine it more for a date or a night out; it’s a coquettish scent with a mature touch. Unfortunately, its longevity and projection are practically non-existent. If you like Ariana’s fragrances and want to add it to your collection, go ahead, but if you’re looking for a powerful perfume with great sillage and long-lasting power, with all due respect, I must say I don’t recommend it.

The plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, marshmallow, and peony are perfectly combined in this fragrance: sweet, talcum-powdered, soapy, feminine, floral, soft, and delicate (when I smell it, it reminds me of a comfortable, edible cloud), and it’s one of the most long-lasting in its line. Moonlight is one of my favourite AG perfumes with excellent performance, and it truly is worth the price.

Delicious, I think it’s my favourite Ariana Grande perfume 🤩. It’s very similar to the Ari, but Moonlight is the sweeter version. I get super delicious, powdery plum marshmallows. It has a slightly soapy note that makes it more versatile 💜. Moderate longevity, about 5-6 hours, and moderate sillage as well.

The opening reminds me of the Caprice hair spray, the purple one. I was excited because I’m fascinated by the bonbon note. It seems very similar to the Ari, but much fresher, less sweet, and with less powder. It gives it a ‘Midnight fantasy’ vibe. I like to have it in my collection, but yes or yes, you need to reapply (I reapply both the Ari and the Moonlight) with a Sweet Like Candy body mist. I don’t think it’s worth buying all the splashes as they don’t last long and the DNA is the same. If you’re looking for something less sweet than the Ari, it’s a good option for spring and summer. I’m team pick-me-up and didn’t fall in love because I don’t feel it adds anything new.

Just like its name, a moonlight. Moonlight is that, such a lovely and pleasant scent for sleeping. It comes out with the plum note well-marked and slightly accompanied by touches of blackcurrants (very, very light). As it dries, it smells of marshmallows and light touches of peony with amber. It’s a fruity, powdery, ambered, and sweet fragrance. On me, it has acceptable performance: 4 hours on skin and a maximum of 6 on clothes, with a very light sillage and projection from moderate to very low. As I repeat, I love it for sleeping, so that doesn’t bother me; it’s perfect for personal enjoyment. 8/10 overall, and let’s not even talk about the beauty of the bottle 😮💨🫧

The bottle is divine, but I wouldn’t recommend it because it smells just like Ari, only this one is more marshmallowy. Ari is simply better.

It smells delicious, but sadly it disappears from my skin in no time. It’s a bit marshmallowy and delightful. Given its short life and weak sillage, I use it to help me fall asleep after a night shower.

All of Ariana’s perfumes are horrible, but this one wins the prize. The dry-down is awful for the notes it has: sweet and nagging, poorly formulated. Don’t spend the money; there are better celebrity perfumes like Britney’s Fantasy or Katy’s Meow.

It doesn’t say much to me… I must admit I bought it for the bottle, and it’s not bad, but it might be one of the weakest I’ve tried, although I don’t doubt the rest of Ariana’s fragrances. I don’t find it as sweet as others say; I think if it were gourmand or more cloying I’d like it more, because this is too soft and timid. Also, as already mentioned, I can barely distinguish the scents beyond the plum, and then there are soft, fresh notes which are welcome; a bit of vanilla comes through at the end. Beyond that, it’s an ordinary perfume; I don’t think I’ll buy it again.
