The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Ariana Grande.

Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Ariana Grande Cloud Intense is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Ariana Grande's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Released in 2021 amid a wave of gourmand, playful launches, Ariana Grande Cloud Intense is a women’s flank to the original Cloud that pushes the formula toward creamier sweetness. The scent opens on lavender, pear and bergamot, moves into a heart of whipped cream, praline, coconut and vanilla orchid, and rests on cashmeran, musk, ambroxan and warm woods. Its dominant accords are sweet and musky with woody, amber and powdery elements and a lactonic vanilla presence. With a 4.16/5 average from 1,868 votes, it is generally well liked by fans though reactions split between enthusiastic supporters and those who find it overly sugary.
Our take
I prefer Cloud Intense over the original: the whipped cream and coconut feel richer and the cashmeran dry down prevents it from smelling flat. It is very sweet and leans young, so I save it for cold, casual days or nights when I want an easy, crowd-pleasing scent; expect around four hours on my skin.

The Bottle
Ariana Grande Cloud Intense has a bottle that commits fully to its cloud motif. The rounded opaque-looking white body sits within a prominent dark blue cloud-shaped structure, while a clear cloud-shaped cap rises above the visible spray assembly. The result is playful and unusually memorable, with the white lettering giving the dark base a clear focal point.
Original or Clone
The bottle gives Cloud Intense a clear advantage: it is an unusually distinctive object, not a routine perfume container. Its sweet, musky, woody character has also attracted one house’s attempt to reproduce it, giving the original some reference status beyond its packaging. We therefore find the original the stronger purchase for readers who care about the bottle; someone focused on the fragrance alone can reasonably choose the interpretation, since we have no comparative measure to settle that question.
