The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Ariana Grande Ari (2015) is a women's gourmand from the singer's mainstream perfume line, aimed at younger fans and gift buyers. It opens on bright raspberry and pear with a grapefruit bite, then softens into a sweet floral heart of vanilla orchid, rose and lily-of-the-valley. A marshmallow, musk and woody base leaves a powdery, sugary finish that many describe as fruit-forward and sweet. With a 4.17/5 rating from 6,502 votes, Ari is widely recognized as a popular, approachable sweet fragrance in the brand's catalogue.
Our take
I like Ari for what it is: an easy, sugar-forward daytime scent that reads as fruity-marshmallow on skin. The raspberry and pear give an initial pop, the florals keep it from collapsing into pure candy, and the marshmallow base is the real appeal. That said, longevity and projection vary a lot; on me it fades to skin in a few hours and the grapefruit can come off sharp. Still, for a casual, spring-or-summer daytime pick it's reliable.

The Bottle
Ariana Grande Ari has a squat, approximately round bottle with a broad body, narrower neck, and angular faceted surfaces that give it a crystal-like appearance. Pale pink shows through the transparent body, while the tall rose-pink cylindrical cap and the large white pompom make the presentation unusually playful. The pompom is the charming detail, though its size may strike some readers as fussy.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives Ari a stronger case than its wider standing alone could provide: its squat faceted body, pale pink colouring, and oversized white pompom make the object unusually playful. One house has tried to reproduce this sweet, fruity, powdery fragrance, giving Ari some reference status without making that status broad. The evidence supports buying the original for that object-level appeal, not an unsupported claim about performance. A reader choosing the interpretation is making a reasonable choice, but the original offers the distinctive bottle as well.
