The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Moonlight by Ariana Grande is a Floral Fruity fragrance that launched in 2017. The scent opens with the bright freshness of plum and black currant, creating an immediate sense of vitality and sweetness. As it evolves, marshmallow and peony notes add a soft, powdery quality, while vanilla and sandalwood create a warm, enveloping base. This composition is both comforting and vibrant, capturing the essence of Ariana Grande's own blend of elegance and approachability.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly to your pulse points — it's designed to be close-to-skin rather than overpowering. The plum and black currant notes are bright but fade quickly, so rely on the powdery and woody base for lasting warmth.
