Cloud Aurora by Ariana Grande

by

Cloud Aurora was released in 2026, as the newest addition to the long-running Cloud perfume lineup from Ariana Grande. I recently tested out Aurora, so, let’s do a full review of this scent and how it compares to the others.

My Full Review

Here’s how the perfume is described: Luminous. Magical. Hopeful. Where light meets wonder. Ariana Grande Cloud Aurora is a dreamlike fragrance inspired by moments of magic and endless possibility.

I tested this fragrance out in store. As such this will be a one-time wear review, if and until I do an update. 4 sprays on the skin and I also sprayed a blotter test strip to see how it develops.

Aurora opens up with blackcurrant and the sugary spun vanilla (cotton candy) note taking the lead. Right away, I noticed that the muskiness is toned down in this version of Cloud, and the series’ praline note is noticeably absent.

Blackcurrant isn’t allowed to be too sharp in the mix, tempered by the sweetness and fluffiness of the vanilla notes. I saw some people comparing it to strawberry, which I can kind of get, but not entirely.

There are multiple vanilla notes in this one. Obviously, to this point, we’ve already gotten the fluffy cotton candy one. The rest of it smells like a more generic vanilla and some vague light smokiness once the top has started to burn off.

As this scent moves into the middle, the fluff begins to fade and this is a fruitier vanilla fragrance with wood and amber. It’s also a bit powdery at this point. I didn’t think it overwhelmed the composition, I did notice it. 

The sandalwood note that is apparently here doesn’t come across to my nose as distinct, just an impression of woods.

It’s nice. I like when this moves out of the opening, the scent is better at this point in the wear.

The tail end of this is a sweetish vanilla wood with amber. On the paper, there is also the musk note peaking through. I couldn’t detect it on my skin, however.

Blackcurrant isn’t completely distinguishable, just sort of a fruitiness sitting in the middle of that vanilla. 

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Comparing this one to my bottle of Cloud Pink, Aurora certainly doesn’t have the same density or ability to project itself. Actually, after coming back to it after all of this time, Pink felt quite powerful.

Aurora? It’s solid, not a complete beast, but it was very noticeable during the wear and has a strong start to it. It is lighter versus the others in the series while not being weak. 

Cloud Aurora lasted somewhere around 7 hours for me during this one test. Not strong in those last 2-3, but it is there. Don’t expect a powerhouse.

The other Cloud’s are somewhere in that range. For instance, Cloud Pink will go 5-8 hours on skin, depending on the day. I would expect that this fragrance is similar in that manner. 

Not as heavy as the others, but sticks around about the same.

Seasonally, this one is probably best served in the more moderate temperatures of autumn and spring. It’s fine when it’s chilly out or even a bit warm, but it’d probably melt in the extreme heat. Go with something else during the daytime in summer.

This is more of a casual or a daily wear scent for some. Cloud Aurora does skew younger, but I don’t think it’s any different in that regard to other Ariana Grande perfumes. If you wore the other Cloud’s you can wear this.

Overall Impressions of Cloud Aurora

Overall, do I like Cloud Aurora? Yes, it might be my favorite of the Cloud line thus far. At least, that’s the way I’m leaning. It’s not super complex or a great perfume, but it is a change of pace from the series and does smell good.

I’d have to wear it a few more times to confirm my feelings about it. Though, generally positive. It smells similar to other non-Cloud fragrances that I cannot currently remember, but it does feel familiar. 

For me, I like the toned down musk in comparison to the other Cloud scents, which often could feel like just another BR540 impression. Aurora has a enjoyable use of the blackcurrant note, which hung around for me for almost the entire wear. 

Funny enough, the blackcurrant really what that I picked up on the blotter paper that I sprayed it on, a day later. Very different from the sweet musk/amberwood aroma of Cloud Pink that I sprayed on a t-shirt. 

The middle and the dry down are my favorite parts to this one. The opening is okay.

Now, will everyone like this? I don’t think anyone will really be offended by this perfume, but you also might find it kind of basic. It’s smooth, sweet, fruity, and various facets of vanilla. Well blended, not too sugary (outside of the opening, which isn’t crazy) or cloying, but with an attractive and enjoyable scent.

If you’ve liked the other Ariana Grande fragrances, you’ll almost certainly like this one. It’s a safe blind buy and solid performer all around. Kind of synthetic smelling at times, just like most of the others are too.

Not a must have, if it sounds interesting to you, try it out.

Vendetta Uomo (2026) by Valentino

by

Valentino has resurrected the Vendetta name for their 2026 release, Vendetta Uomo. The original was released back in 1991, but I’ve never tried it, and it doesn’t seem to have much in common with this newer one. So, what does the new men’s cologne from Valentino smell like? Let’s review!

Quick Overview

Valentino Vendetta Uomo is a modern woody-spicy fragrance built around fresh ginger, cinnamon liquor, patchouli, and smooth woods. It opens cool and bright, gradually becoming warmer, slightly boozy, and more patchouli-forward as it dries down.

Despite the cinnamon-liquor note, Vendetta Uomo isn’t especially sweet, syrupy, or gourmand. It has a more refined and mature character, with good longevity and noticeable but controlled projection.

My Full Review

Here’s how Valentino describes Vendetta: Vendetta Uomo Eau de Parfum, the new fragrance for men by Valentino. A bold woody spicy signature, as the scent of unstoppable passion. The olfactive pact between the zesty brightness of a fresh Ginger shot and a spicy liquorous woody depth. This composition offers a bold and magnetic presence designed for a confident and free-spirited man.

So, this is going to be a one-time wear review, initially. I will come back with more thoughts later, as all of my reviews are ongoing and updated over years.

I tested Vendetta Uomo out at Ulta, with four sprays on my arm and I did an additional three on, the blotter paper, in order to experience how it develops off of the skin.

From the jump, you’re going to get hit with that ginger note. This is one of the things that had me wanting to test out this Valentino fragrance, as ginger and cinnamon are two of my favorite spice notes. I was hoping for something bold and maybe a bit heavy.

That’s not really what Vendetta is. I also saw some reviews compare this to Stronger with You flankers or one of the Most Wanted scents, but those aren’t like it either. Those colognes are much sweeter and/or spicier than what I pick up here.

Vendetta Uomo isn’t weak, but it is a more reserved and lighter feeling scent than the usual gourmand or boozy fair. The ginger is great, bringing a fresh coolness to the opening act. It is indeed a bright note, as the brand says, and it’s nice how this one comes alive

The cinnamon liquor, joins giving the fragrance a booziness to it. On the blotter paper, the cinnamon liquor feels more prominent even deeper into the wear.

With my skin, I start to get more patchouli coming through, so perhaps you’ll experience a stronger dose of the booziness than I personally get. It is there for a good portion of the first hour or two, with the patchouli note taking over bit by bit.

This one feels slightly fresh, a colder opening, that warms up as I get deeper into the wear. Nothing syrupy with the liquor and there is an underlying sweetness with Vendetta. Not sugary or particularly gourmand, but it is there lingering.

The tail end of this one is a slightly spicy woods with a patchouli note that is in the lead and quite well-balanced within this structure. There’s probably an amber/ambroxan note in here as well, that’s what it comes across like to me. Smooth, not a rough-styled ambroxan.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Vendetta isn’t a heavy fragrance, it’s not a beast projector, but it’s noticeable. Slightly above average in this regard, will leave a decent scent trail with enough sprays, but isn’t one that fills up a room.

That being said, it actually does last a good amount of time even while not being a powerhouse fragrance. I got somewhere in the 9 hour range with this one, on my skin

Seasonally, this is mainly going to be an autumn and winter wear. Though, it can be one that extends into the springtime, since it doesn’t have that thick, cloud-like density to it. I’d probably just avoid the hottest days of the year and you should be fine.

It can also be worn anywhere from the office to a night on the town. Vendetta is refined and well-behaved, but still retains plenty of attractiveness to grab some attention in close quarters. I don’t know that the name itself fits what this scent actually is.

This fragrance will skew older, it’s more mature than Stronger with You or Most Wanted (again, doesn’t smell like either) style wise.

It might not be the first choice of most teenagers; though, I don’t find it to be an anachronistic throwback, Vendetta is still contemporary with more of what you’d get from classic colognes.

Overall Impressions of Vendetta Uomo

Overall, do I like this fragrance? I do. It has a modern interpretation of a classic style and doesn’t just produce more of the same like so many other releases.

However, it doesn’t strike me as a great scent, just a really good effort. Pleasant, low key, last long, but without anything that really jumps out to me. The ginger is close, but it doesn’t last all that long on the main stage.

The cinnamon liquor is interesting and I enjoy how it smells. But, it’s also a little too passive on my skin.

Vendetta is worth trying out for sure. If you want something that’s simple and attractive, it’s a very solid option from Valentino. I’m not a massive fan of any of the Born in Roma colognes, so, I would most likely pick this one over any of them.

I was hoping for more from this initial entry, but maybe my expectations were too high. This is a cologne that I’d wear again and maybe develop to enjoy it more over time. I think that to be the case, because the remnants of what I get on the blotter are intriguing.

Or maybe they just put out a flanker in a year or so, that really delivers a knock out experience.

Liaisons Dangereuses (typical me) by Kilian

by

Liaisons Dangereuses, typical me is one of the earlier releases from Kilian and still among the most popular from the brand. They still produce it, over a decade later, so it can’t be too shabby.

Actually, this has always been among my favorites from the fruity/floral offerings. Since I’m making my way through reviewing the By Kilian perfumes, I also grabbed a sample of this to give my updated take of Liaisons Dangereuses.

Quick Overview

Liaisons Dangereuses (Typical Me) is a fresh, fruity-floral fragrance built around peach, blackcurrant, plum, and rose. The opening is the highlight, with peach and blackcurrant doing most of the work while rose adds a jammy floral layer without taking over.

As it develops, the blackcurrant fades and the scent becomes more centered on peach, rose, vanilla, and sandalwood. The dry down stays fruity, lightly creamy, and woodsy, with enough mossy freshness to keep the sweetness from becoming too heavy or cloying.

Overall, this is one of the better fruity-floral releases from Kilian and a particularly strong option if you enjoy peach-based perfumes. It is not especially complex or completely unique, but the balance, versatility, and attractive fruit-rose profile make it an easy fragrance to recommend.

🍑 Liaisons Dangereuses (Typical Me) by Kilian — At a Glance
Fragrance Family Fruity Floral Woody
Key Notes Peach, Blackcurrant, Plum, Rose, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Ambrette, Moss
Season Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
Occasion Office, Casual Wear, Daily Wear, Dates, Night Out, Social Events
Longevity Around 8 hours, give or take
Sillage Moderate — consistently noticeable without becoming loud or overpowering
Rating ★★★★☆ 7.9 / 10
Quick Verdict A fresh and juicy fruity-floral built around peach, blackcurrant, plum, and rose, with vanilla and sandalwood adding creaminess later in the wear. The peach-heavy opening is the standout, while the dry down becomes softer, woodier, and slightly musky. Projection is moderate and longevity is around eight hours. Not especially complex, but attractive, versatile, and one of the stronger peach-focused fragrances from Kilian.

My Full Review

Let’s see how By Kilian describes this scent: A secret love affair begins innocently enough with jammy rose essence and juicy plum accord in Liaisons dangereuses, typical me.

I know that the plum note is what is featured by the brand as the main note up top. However, it has always been about the peach for me and many others. Really, coming back to Liaisons Dangereuses the peach and blackcurrant notes are the most prominent in the opening act.

It is a sweet and juicy accord, sitting on top of a fresh rose note, and perhaps a touch of moss coming from the base. Kilian calls it a jammy rose and I totally get that. There is plum floating around in here, but on me, I really don’t get all that much. Again, it’s peachy.

What I like about this perfume is how it isn’t a heavy and thick sweetness. There is a fresh, clean, and crisp vibe throughout the wear. The moss and perhaps some geranium, really do a nice job preventing it from becoming an overwhelming cloying mess.

As we transition forward, the blackcurrant fades away and it becomes a peach and rose blend. This is joined by some creaminess of vanilla and sandalwood. At this stage, the tart plum note is somewhat more noticeable, but still not dominant in the composition.

The final dry down, has the rose lose some of its steam. It feels like a fruity, fresh woodsy, and slightly creamy blend. No one note stands out that much, aside from that peachy fruit aroma. It doesn’t throw any curveballs and isn’t a very complex wear…just very enjoyable to me.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, it’s pretty middle of the road. Not weak, but don’t expect Liaisons to project like a monster. I do notice it’s presence throughout the entirety of the wear, but it isn’t ‘in your face’ about it.

The longevity is pretty good, just not outstanding. Right around 8 hours, give or take. I don’t notice it sticking around for double digit hours, but it can usually do about a standard workday without much issue. Nice performance, just not top tier by any stretch.

Seasonally, Liaisons Dangereuses can actually work quite well in any season or climate. Weakest in the winter, but it wouldn’t feel wholly out of place there either. It is unisex to an extent, by definitely leans feminine. I doubt most guys would want to wear this one.

 

One of the strengths of this scent is its versatility. It can be worn in a wide variety of situations. It’s not really a formal scent or club beast. However, it can be worn on a night out, as well as to the office.

The name makes it sound more like a seductive or sexy perfume. On some level, it is. I mean, I find it attractive, but I wouldn’t call it a ‘bombshell’.

Overall Impressions of Liaisons Dangereuses

Do I like this perfume? Absolutely. It is one of my favorites for women from the line of Kilian scents. Maybe not the most complex, but as a peach based perfume it is awesome. Smells attractive, plenty versatile, and performs well enough.

The opening is a blend of fruity notes and is probably the aspect that I enjoy the most. The rose is just present enough, but doesn’t steal the show from the peach, blackcurrant, and plum trio.

The latter stages are a blend of peach and rose with fresh and creamy notes duking it out in the base. Also, a very slight spice at times.

Is this one worth a buy? I think so. Provided that you want a peachy/plum rose fragrance or a nice fruity/floral. It isn’t completely unique, there are other perfumes that go this route, but I think Dangereuses distinguishes itself enough.

There’s nothing bad about this perfume. It’s safe and versatile. If it sounds like something right up your alley, give this Kilian scent a try.

Bvlgari Man Black Cologne EDT

by

Bvlgari has released a bunch of its Black flanker scents. Man Black Cologne was one that they put out back in 2016, that I never got around to. However, I recently grabbed a sample online to finally give a review. How does it smell? When should it be worn? Is it worth a try?

Quick Overview

Bvlgari Man Black Cologne is a lighter warm-weather variation of Man in Black, opening with sharp citrus, heavy rum, and a green quality alongside emerging floral notes. The beginning is its weakest stage, coming across harsh and somewhat pungent before the citrus starts to fade.

The fragrance improves in the middle, when tuberose and orange blossom mix with amber, benzoin, rum, woods, and musk. This softer white-floral stage is the highlight, keeping some of the boozy character of Man in Black while making the composition sweeter and smoother.

Overall, Man Black Cologne is decent but not especially memorable. The concept of a warm-weather Man in Black is appealing, but the harsh opening and only average performance keep it from standing out, especially when there are stronger citrus and boozy summer fragrances available.

🥃 Bvlgari Man Black Cologne EDT — At a Glance
Fragrance Family Boozy Citrus White Floral Amber
Key Notes Rum, Citrus, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Amber, Benzoin, Sandalwood, Musk
Season Spring, Summer, Warm Weather
Occasion Casual Wear, Evening Wear, Nights Out, Summer Social Events
Longevity Around 6.5–7 hours
Sillage Moderate — decent initial projection before becoming noticeably softer
Rating ★★★☆☆ 7.0 / 10
Quick Verdict A warmer-weather spin on Man in Black that combines rum, sharp citrus, white florals, amber, and soft woods. The harsh opening is the weak point, while the smoother tuberose, orange blossom, amber, and rum stage is much more enjoyable. Performance is moderate with roughly 6.5–7 hours of longevity. A decent fragrance overall, but not distinctive or impressive enough to be a must-have.

My Full Review

“A fragrance like burning hot water”. That is the description of Man Black Cologne that is printed on the sample card, I bought. Sure, whatever. 

Really, I wanted to try this one out because I loved wearing Man in Black and this one is a spring/summer version of that cologne from Bvlgari. 

Man Black opens up with sharp citrus, heavy rum, and a greenish aroma. It’s quite a pungent kick to opening things and has some of the floral notes already wafting up. Honestly, I’m not a fan of the beginning. 

It’s sharp and almost comes across like body odor. That’s short-lived and Man Black will become more tolerable, as it moves along. I don’t enjoy the citrus notes here for whatever reason.

Once the citrus note fade, there is a white floral blend of tuberose and some remaining orange blossom. All of this will be wrapped up in an amber/benzoin blanket, that has been splashed with rum.

This is probably the highlight of the fragrance for me. I like that it adds some sweetness to the composition. Amber, white floral notes, with some woody/musk, and that signature rum note. 

The problem is, Man Black Cologne loses much of its power by the time the best of the fragrance rolls around. It’s still detectable and sticks around, but that initial burst of strength, isn’t there.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The sillage here, much like Man in Black, isn’t all that powerful. Much more of a moderate aroma, with some decent projection for a time, but not going to blow the doors off. Still, it’s good for what you’ll need in the warmer months of the year.

The longevity is about 6.5-7 hours, on my skin. A bit better than Man in Black, maybe an extra hour or so of wear. Not a huge improvement, but it at least has an edge versus that version, in terms of performance. 

 

Seasonally, this is a spring and summertime wear. I do like the concept of giving us a Man in Black for these seasons, since that was limited to the colder months. 

Man Black Cologne is best used for casual outings or an evening on the town. It’s probably going to appeal most to guys in their 20s through early 30s. This isn’t an office wear or something formal, but you can pretty much wear it out to wherever else during summer.

Overall Impressions of Man Black Cologne

Overall, do I like Man Black Cologne? It’s fine, but it didn’t have the same appeal to me as Man in Black. That one was great, just middling performance. This Bvlgari is pretty good with middling performance. 

The citrus, amber, and floral notes don’t particularly sit well on me. It’s got a harshness in the early stages, that made this one lose some of its appeal for me. 

The floral stage is nice. I don’t love it either, though with the rum and softened citrus notes, the amber and white floral notes. It’s softer, smoother, and still has that boozy spice. 

I don’t hate any of this. It’s just nothing all that amazing, either. The performance is decent, the smell is decent, and that’s about all. There are better summer citruses, boozy summer wears, etc. This isn’t a terrible investment, but Man Black EDT isn’t something I’d really ever reach for. 

Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi by Kilian

by

I’ve been working my way through posting up reviews of as many of the by Kilian fragrances that I can. Still in the early stages, but I’ve really wanted to spend some time with each and get a good sense of how each develops.

Today’s entry is the exhaustingly titled Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi released in 2015. How does it smell? When should it be worn? Is this Kilian perfume worth a buy?

Quick Overview

Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi is a creamy white-floral fragrance built around ylang-ylang, gardenia, tuberose, orange blossom, and neroli. The opening moves through several floral phases, starting somewhat rosy and powdery before orange blossom and ylang-ylang become more prominent.

As it settles, ylang-ylang, tuberose, and gardenia become the main focus over a softer base of sandalwood, musk, and vanilla-like sweetness. The fragrance stays fairly linear after the first stage, with the balance shifting slightly between those three florals.

Overall, this is a pleasant and well-performing floral perfume, but it does not quite live up to the seductive promise of the name. It feels more like a polished update of a classic white-floral style, making it worth trying for floral lovers but not an obvious blind buy at Kilian pricing.

Rating ★★★★☆ 7.5 / 10
Quick Verdict A creamy, sweet white-floral perfume centered on ylang-ylang, gardenia, tuberose, and orange blossom. It starts powdery and slightly rosy before settling into a smoother floral blend with sandalwood, musk, and vanilla-like sweetness. Performance is strong at around 8–9 hours with above-average sillage. Pleasant and polished, but familiar enough that it makes more sense for dedicated white-floral fans than as a blind buy.

My Full Review

Let’s see how Kilian describes this perfume: Elusive, elegant, a scent that lasts well into the evening, with its radiant gardenia headspace and ylang-ylang, blooming with tantalizing tuberose…

The opening of Voulez feels fairly rosy to me, with a nice bit of powder also coming through. Not overly so, but it is there and is noticeable. I’m not always the best at picking up individual floral notes, but the ylang-ylang seems pretty distinct to my nose within these first few minutes.

Then, it becomes much more geared toward the orange blossom, gardenia, and neroli. At that point, it is slightly sweet with less of that initial powdery aroma. The orange flower is noticeable at the very beginning, but it becomes more prominent to me a few minutes in.

On my skin, this By Kilian fragrance takes a while to truly reveal the direction it wants to go in. It’s a few initial waves of varying floral blends, before it really settles on ylang-ylang, gardenia, and tuberose.

Those three are going to be the main attractions here. Sitting on a base of musk, sandalwood, and some vanilla (even if it’s not listed). So, opening the ylang-ylang stars. Later, I get more of the tuberose (but ylang-ylang is persistent). Finally, it ends with the gardenia, giving it a creamy sweetness with the woods, musk, and vanilla.

Once I get past the first few waves, it’s pretty much set in stone how it’s going to smell, just with some maneuverings between the main three floral notes.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, it’s above average. It certainly doesn’t come across as a bomb on my skin. It sticks pretty close by and has a nice scent bubble of 3-5 feet for me. Solid, not crazy or anything.

Voulez-vous Coucher does perform well, however. I get 8-9 hours of wear from it during the day. That’s about what I should expect for the price and Kilian usually doesn’t disappoint with the performance on a majority of these scents.

Seasonally, this would work anytime outside of the high heat of summer. Summer nights, probably, just avoid the day. Ideally, I’d like this as an autumn perfume, that leans toward use in the nightlife.

While many Kilian fragrances are unisex, this is one of them that goes much more in the feminine direction. As a man, I wouldn’t wear this (outside of having to test it for the site), but it’d work well for a woman that I’m dating.

That being said, this is an attractive perfume, but I don’t really find it to be ‘sexy’. It’s a sweet floral that has more of a nighttime vibe, while being versatile enough to wear during the day. I don’t know, maybe other folks find this to be seductive, but to me it’s another pleasant floral blend.

Overall Impressions of Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi

Overall, do I like this perfume? I like it, but don’t love it. I especially hate having to type out that long title. Smell wise? It’s a very nice scent, it feels familiar and quite a bit like many other white floral perfumes, while still retaining its own identity.

The powdery aspect and the sweetness that comes off of this fragrance, does kind of get on my nerves. It’s not something that I need to scrub or anything, but it’s not my favorite.

Based on the name, I was expecting something sexier. Instead, it seems more like an update to an older style of perfume.

It doesn’t have a massive projection off of my skin, which is weird, because I read a few reviews and folks said this was really strong. Maybe, it’s just me? Though, it did stick around for a good while.

I can’t say that Voulez-vous Coucher Avec Moi is a bad perfume. It’s actually pretty good across the board, which to me, is a problem for the price point.

It doesn’t make my top ten from Kilian, so, unless you’re a really big floral fan or of these particular notes…I’m not sure it makes sense to blind buy.
