The story behind the bottle.
Frankie by Ariana Grande was launched in 2016 as a unisex Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance. This composition opens with the sweet brightness of apricot and pink pepper, creating an initial burst of energy that transitions into a heart of pear and wild orchid, providing both freshness and floral warmth. The base notes of cedar, sandalwood, sugar, musk, and vanilla create a powdery, woody, and gourmand finish that is both comforting and alluring.
Frankie has a quick top note transition, so applying it just before you leave gives you the full range from fruity freshness to warm vanilla and musk. It's best for daytime wear due to its gourmand and sweet aspects, which can be overwhelming in more intimate evening settings.
