As a teenager, I might ask my moms and dads for a pop star’s latest fragrance start for my birthday. Just one 12 months, it was Britney Spears’ Fantasy one more calendar year, I additional Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers G to my selection. With my 30th birthday method, I could just select up the custom all over again and set Ariana Grande’s God is a Woman on my wishlist. 

The songstress is introducing but a further tune-motivated fragrance to her lineup to be part of the sweet-scented Thank U Future and powdery R.E.M. This time, Grande is focusing on her 2018 strike single, “God is a Lady.” On Thursday, July 29, the eau de parfum variation hits digital shelves completely on ulta.com in a pretty lavender glass bottle enrobed in a spectacular matte grey holder that echos the condition of a gemstone. Like Grande’s other perfumes, you can conveniently slip the glass bottle from its sheath. 

As for the scent God is a Female delivers, well, what notes come to mind when listening to the tune? Perhaps hints of female florals and prosperous earthiness? Fortunately, I got to consider out the fragrance before it drops — hallelujah for not owning to wait until eventually my birthday in November. 

Upon to start with spritz, the fragrance smells like biting into the freshest, juiciest pear. Even although that’s my minimum favorite fruit, I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist. As God is a Lady dries down, lovely floral vibes laced with orris and Turkish rose petals acquire along with contrasting muskiness, courtesy of ambrette and cedarwood. I even caught some Madagascar vanilla in there, also. Fundamentally, the fragrance fuses with each other ethereal fruity and floral vibes with lush woodsiness in a advanced, Ariana Grande-accepted way.

All of the notes also occur together with vegan components, and the packaging is produced out of responsibly sourced components. Earlier this yr, R.E.M. received a 2021 Fragrance of the 12 months Award. I’m thinking this component innovation will be what cinches God Is a Woman the similar title in 2022. 

“I am past thrilled to rejoice the release of our initially-at any time clean fragrance,” Grande shared in a statement. “We have, of course, been cruelty-totally free, but getting this next action … is some thing we are all extremely proud of. I genuinely adore this fragrance and hope it makes everyone putting on it experience attractive and empowered.”

For the first two weeks, a portion of every obtain of God Is a Female will be donated to ocean cleanup initiatives about the environment.
