Sweet Like Candy Perfume Review

October 3, 2016

Are you a perfume lover?  I’m extremely particular when it comes to wearing scents.  When I heard the name of the latest Ariana Grande perfume, I knew that it was one that I needed to try.  It’s called Sweet Like Candy.  The name should explain it all!  I love eating sweets and I love fragrances that have sweet scents.

sweet like candy perfume review

The Fragrance

“A luscious burst of sugar-frosted blackberry and juicy Italian bergamot sparkles with sweet addiction, while creamy cashmere woods whipped with a delicate touch of pink floralcy will keep you coming back for more. The final wink is sure to delight with velvety layers of crème de cassis, fluffy marshmallow and sexy vanilla blended together to leave a head turning, alluring trail.”

Sweet Like Candy

Packaging

The faceted perfume bottle is a matte ballet pink color.  It’s adorned with a fluffy light pink pom pom that can be easily removed if it’s not your thing.  The bottle is quite attractive and looks beautiful on my vanity.

Pricing

  • Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 fl. oz./100ml                       $59.00
  • Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.7 fl. oz./50 ml                        $49.00
  • Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.0 fl. oz./30ml                         $39.00
  • Eau de Parfum Rollerball, .25 fl. oz./7.5 ml                  $20.00
  • Hair Mist with Pom Pom Hair Tie 5.0 fl. oz./150 ml (ULTA exclusive)    $20.00

ariana grande

Ariana Grande made an appearance on Friday, September 23 at Ulta Beauty in Marina Del Rey, California to launch her latest fragrance.  You can pick this perfume up now at Ulta Beauty stores as well as other prestige retailers including Sephora, Macy’s and Shoppers Drug Mart.

 “Global superstar and recording artist Ariana Grande reveals a new seductively irresistible scent, SWEET LIKE CANDY by Ariana Grande. The newest pillar of her top-selling fragrance collection in creation with LUXE Brands launches exclusively at Ulta Beauty.”

Verdict:  I’ve been wearing the new Sweet Like Candy perfume every day since it arrived.  I feel like it can be worn by women of all ages.  It’s appropriate for teens, yet not overpowering.  I’m middle aged and it’s appropriate for me as well.  This perfume would also make the perfect holiday gift for someone on your gift giving list this year.

What do you think of the description of the new Ariana Grande perfume?  Is this the type of fragrance that appeals to you?

*PR sample.  I received this perfume for review purposes.  All opinions are mine and aren’t influenced by anyone else.

    I’m not a big fan of expensive perfume or Ariana Grande. Interesting post.

    I love sweet, sugary scents, especially when they contain vanilla. I’m wary of woods, tho. I’d need to get a sample and try it before purchasing.

    I don’t know if this scent would suit my body chemistry, but you have definitely intrigued me to want to sniff it. Next time I’m at Ulta, I’ll take a sniff. Love the cute bottle and I’d use the pompom as a powder puff!

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!
