While most celeb fragrances sit unloved on dusty drugstore shelves, Ariana Grande’s Cloud perfume has a slew of devoted beauty-industry fans, among them Rio, who first heard about the scent from Allure alumna Joelle Hyman. Described by Hyman as “youthful but sophisticated enough for my mom,” this highly giftable perfume would fit the bill for anyone from your teen cousin to your mother-in-law. And right now, it’s on sale for just $26, down 41 percent from its list price of $44. Hyman also compares the smell to “a warm but clear breath of air,” while Rio says you get a burst of lavender, pear, and bergamot that dries down to a “cozy orchid musk,” making you “smell like a cleaner version of yourself.” And if that’s still not enough to convince you, Rio adds that she’s received multiple compliments of the “you smell so good” variety since making Cloud part of her daily routine.
