Wow! to say this has a macaron note is very telling, the whole texture of this piece is like the feel of a macaron. Solid, but that's merely the facade, the gossamer thin shell with a much more caked powder, and springy, spongey interior, lurking underneath. It has the characteristic light flavouring of a macaron too, in this case pears and red berry aldehydes, maybe a touch of apricot? It's a real diffusive, musk driven piece, sweet, warm, tender but sparse kinda powdery, futuristic, gourmand. I think it's inextricably...brilliant! Yeah.... I know. That's two Ariana Grande fragrances in a row that I reckon are pretty decent. I think it's just my taste at the moment and attempts at appreciating the technical aspects of very, single molecule driven compositions. I kinda like a stack of aroma chemicals that add up to more than the sum of their parts, seeming easy to achieve or generic to some, when in actuality they are moments or traces away from being something very lovely indeed. It's not incredible, but I'd like to try it again and god forbid I have one of these massive, embarrassing bottles in my collection. It would be like a fabulous blight in my wardrobe. A 'My little pony' unicorn among your hermetically sealed, mint condition, Original, He-Man & Star Wars collectables. It's tempting though, as it's dead cheap and I probably would find it easy to wear.

I love this sweet juice! For me, it's the macaroon that I really smell first, then the coconut and finally the raspberry. I think it's a versatile fragrance, which is still quite juvenile though.
