We’re on Cloud 9 With These Budget-Friendly Ariana Grande Perfume Dupes
A signature scent is one of the easiest ways to complete your look, and Ariana Grande's Cloud perfume has become a go-to for fragrance lovers everywhere. With its sweet, fruity notes and warm, dreamy finish, it's earned a loyal fan base that goes far beyond the singer's own following. In fact, Ulta reported selling one bottle of Cloud every 11 seconds after it went viral on TikTok.
The only catch? This dreamy fragrance can make a little dent in your beauty budget. A full-size 3.4-ounce bottle of Ariana Grande's Cloud Eau de Parfum retails for about $75, making it a splurge for some perfume fans. But you don't need a celebrity-sized budget to smell amazing. We're sharing why Cloud became such a sensation, plus budget-friendly dupes that offer the same sweet, warm and irresistible energy.
Why is Cloud perfume so popular?
Cloud was originally created to evoke feelings of positivity and happiness. The fragrance opens with lavender blossom, juicy pear and bergamot before settling into creamy notes of coconut, praline and vanilla orchid for a cozy, gourmand finish. Despite a 2018 release, the perfume didn't achieve viral fame until 2020 and 2021, when it became a top recommendation on social media.
While the sweetly cozy perfume is the perfect touch, Cloud can be a bit expensive. The official site has four sizes of the scent available at various prices. You can get the 0.3-ounce bottle for $28, the 1-ounce for $54, the 1.7-ounce for $64 or the 3.4-ounce for $75. If you'd rather spend less while enjoying a similar fragrance profile, these affordable dupes are worth considering.
