by Ariana Grande
Mod Blush by Ariana Grande is a clean, youthful, and sweet floral-fruity scent that opens with a sharp, tart burst of passionfruit, bergamot, and pink pepper. The initial impression is bright and slightly aggressive, with some find it too synthetic, even likening it to deodorant or hairspray, though many agree it mellows quickly into a soft, airy, and sweet floral heart dominated by magnolia, pear, and rose. The dry down is creamy and musky, with a subtle powdery sweetness and faint sandalwood, creating a light, flirty, and inoffensive vibe that feels reminiscent of vintage Victoria’s Secret Bombshell, Dream Angel, and Sweet Like Candy. While it lacks standout originality and can be perceived as generic or bland by some, a significant number of users appreciate its wearable, feminine charm, describing it as a cheerful, summery perfume perfect for spring and summer wear. Despite its modest longevity and moderate sillage, many notes say it feels more present and enduring on fabric than on skin. The bottle design is polarizing—dubbed ugly or awkward—but its compact size and unique aesthetic make it travel-friendly. Overall, it’s well-suited for casual, everyday wear and appeals to those who enjoy gentle, sweet, fruity florals with a light musk base.
