Sweet Like Candy

Sweet Like Candy by Ariana Grande

Released in 2016, Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy was the singer’s second fragrance and quickly became one of the most-loved gourmand celebrity scents of its decade. Built around blackberry, marshmallow, vanilla, and warm musks, Sweet Like Candy captures the playful, slightly mischievous femininity that made it a signature scent for millions of fans.

Our interpretation captures the same beloved gourmand signature in a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

How It Smells

The opening is unmistakably sweet and immediately recognizable with juicy blackberry and a sparkle of pear that brings playful brightness. There is an instant sense of youthful charm, gourmand sweetness, and confident femininity.

The heart blooms with fluffy marshmallow, jasmine, and a touch of soft floral lift that keeps the composition from being purely sugary. The dry-down settles on warm vanilla, smooth musk, and clean soft woods. A base that lingers on skin for hours with creamy, comforting gourmand depth.
