  • Ariana Grande R.E.M. Perfume Unboxing & First Impressions + Cloud vs. BR540 Fragrance Comparison
    #arianagrande #perfume #rem
    Hi everyone! Today I have an unboxing and first impressions of the new Ariana Grande fragrance, R.E.M. This is not a full review but if you want to know my thoughts after a few days just let me a comment and I'll update you once I've had a chance to test it more. I'm also doing an unboxing and comparison of Cloud to Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 (because the other 32,578 comparisons aren't enough- LOL)! Have you tried this new R.E.M. fragrance or any others from Ariana Grande? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

    Enjoyed this first impressions video! Most of the videos I found when looking at these two from Ariana Grande were from super young TH-camrs that my 48-year-old self just can’t relate to 🤣. But that said, I still love wearing Cloud and REM, and I like Thank You, Next as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They’re really too young for me, but I just love the lavender dryer sheet and marshmallow vibe of Cloud, and REM is a great for layering in the summer. And sometimes I really enjoy smelling like coconut and pickles, so that’s where Thank You, Next comes in.... Yeah, anyway, I’d love to see a more in depth video on these guys from you, but I also totally get that you’re not vibing with either of these. I have BR540, and I think you hit the nail on the head with your comparison and assessment.

    • @Olfactofiles
      @Olfactofiles  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a decant of BR540, got Cloud on FragranceNet on a good deal few months back. BR540 is definitely beast mode and unisex. Cloud is a decent replacement if one can't afford the price tag of BR540 and doesn't mind it being sweeter and girlier. I don't feel like I have to be careful when spraying cloud like I do with BR. Cloud's longevity is good on me - 8ish hours.

    • @Olfactofiles
      @Olfactofiles  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very timely video! Hah, I still have an inner teenager who loves sparkly (fake) stuff 😍 so I’ve been planning to sample this. Ariana Grande perfumes are always perfectly packaged for the target audience IMO and the scents are very on trend for them too. I honestly do enjoy her ‘Ari’ scent as an easy sweet nondescript scent for certain days and bought Cloud mostly to see what the fuss was about 🙂. I’m just as anosmic to it as to BR 540 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I probably detect 50% of what’s there. I’ll definitely check back in a few days to see what you thought after more wearings. 🙏🏽💟☮️☯️⚛️

    I have a question, would you say that cloud is unisex?

    • @Olfactofiles
      @Olfactofiles  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I think so. Honestly, I think people should wear whatever they like, but BR540 is unisex and Cloud does have a similar vibe. It's a bit sweeter which tends to be associated with feminine fragrances, but I know some men who wear it and enjoy it. Thanks for watching!

  • @nattz9199

    That Cloud is extremely br540-ish to my nose. The sillage and projection is maybe equally a beast! Smelt it on a girl about 3 train cars away. Nonetheless I wouldn't wear it again ..too fruity 😪

    Both cloud and BR540 Give me a note that’s “sweet” but like sweet n sour- almost a bit sour almost like sour candy tastes in the dry down. I get that in both of them. Anyone else?!? Lol. But def cloud has a string coconut BR doesn’t

    • @Olfactofiles
      @Olfactofiles  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I could see what you mean about BR540 I think. I do get a touch of something medicinal from it, which might be the sour part a bit? Yes, definitely get the coconut in Cloud. Thanks for watching!

    I have nothing against celebrity scents, but R.E.M. doesn't interest me in the least. My son bought me a travel size Cloud the Christmas before last and I don't dislike it...but I never wear it. I've never gotten my nose on MFK BR540 so I can't compare. I know Christian Siriano has a new fragrance release that is also supposedly a dupe, as well.

    • @Olfactofiles

      Oh yeah, I saw a couple people talk about that one. I don't really need it, but it seems like it would be a good, affordable option. I'm always willing to try just about anything when it comes to perfume, but there haven't been many celebrity releases that I've enjoyed. Thanks, Celeste!

    I was wondering, can you please tell me what perfume would u recommend that is similar to BR540 ? that has the same vibe like warm, a little bit 'sweet', airy..

      Yeah I smelled Burberry Her & Her Intense but I don’t really get the BR540 vibes from them.. because I think it’s really more feminine & fruity rather than warm as BR540 but yeah one time I wore Cloud and a friend of mine said that it smells like her friend’s perfume wich is Burberry HER so there are definitely similarities ! but idk my nose just finds them really different...

    • @thomas_9735
      @thomas_9735 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Serena Chairs Yeah I promise you I really don’t get the BR540 vibe from Burberry HER (intense & original ones) so I don’t know why... as u said I smell it very much fruitier and more feminine & playful maybe idk.. more synthetic kinda.. but i’m glad u enjoy it 😊 and yes Francis Kurkdjian made these too !
      Really u feel like u smell like a kid with BR540 ?? because people generally think it smells very mature wich i agree to ! and I prefer Cloud to Burberry HER but there is a note about it that I don’t really like and I don’t know what it is... and it doesn’t last very long on my skin.. 🙁
      it’s crazy how perfume changes on everyone’s skin and how we feel it !

    I was wondering if Ariana Grande chooses R.E.M. because of the rapid eye function when your deep sleep, or She was influenced by R.E.M. the pop-rock band that I grew up listening to their music which I think I doubt that She even know about the band, by the way, Ariana Grande is from 20 minutes away from my place, She is from Boca Raton, FL.
