Key Notes of Thank U, Next
What Does Thank U, Next Smell Like
The first waft of Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande brings forth the fresh and crisp scent of white pear blended subtly with a hint of tangy raspberry. This initial fruity sweetness quickly transitions into the scent's heart, a luscious and creamy coconut cream aroma that's satisfyingly indulgent, underscored with the delicate floral blend of pink rose adding a gentle, romantic edge to the overall composition. As the scent develops, the prominent sugar note comes into play, imparting a sugary sweetness, reminiscent of candy floss or a freshly baked vanilla cake, being neither cloying nor overwhelming. The less dominant but still noticeable musk note provides a faint animalistic and raw undertone to the aroma, tempering the sweetness and adding depth. The whole composition is decidedly sweet, but with the surprising synthetic yet appealing twist, creating an image of a young, carefree spirit indulging in a sugar-laden treat, while the fruity, floral, and creamy notes lend a gourmet touch to the overall concoction. The musky base note ensures the scent maintains a grounded, earthy finish preventing it from becoming overly saccharine or juvenile. The perfume is decidedly rich in aroma and isn't shy about its gourmand influences.
Review of Thank U, Next
Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande is a perfume that makes a statement. Released in 2019, it is a sweet and synthetic women's fragrance with a splash of gourmand notes. The scent is dominant in its sweetness, a characteristic that can be attributed to the prominent white pear and delicious raspberry top notes. However, there's an artificial edge to it that may not appeal to everyone's taste.
The perfume reveals a youthful spirit, making it a favorite among younger women, while its creamy and powdery elements give it a mature touch that some older users may find appealing. Its strong fruity accents are more pronounced during the cooler months of fall and spring, while the gourmand undertones make it a wonderful choice for winter. However, it's not as refreshing during the hot summer days.
In terms of occasions, Thank U, Next shines in leisure settings. It has a fun, flirty character that makes it perfect for a day out with friends or a date. It can also be a great choice for daily wear or an evening event. It's less suitable for a professional setting or a sports outing, as the sweet, synthetic scent may come off as too casual or overpowering.
The longevity of the perfume is appreciable, lasting for a significant amount of time once applied. However, the scent's intensity or sillage may not be as pervasive, which can be a benefit or a drawback depending on personal preferences. The value is relatively high given its performance and appeal to a broad audience.
In conclusion, Ariana Grande's Thank U, Next is a youthful, sweet, and somewhat synthetic perfume that's versatile, entertaining, and perfect for the young and the young at heart. It's not without its flaws, but it's a fragrance that knows its audience and delivers a pleasing sensory experience.
