Thank U Next 2.0
by Ariana Grande
A fresh, fruity gourmand with a bright opening of pomegranate, wild strawberry, and juicy apple, leading into a soft, sweet marshmallow heart with subtle musk and sandalwood. The scent is light, youthful, and sparklingly sweet—more like a sugary fruit smoothie than a traditional fragrance. It dries down to a powdery, skin-scent-like base with a faint, creamy floral touch. While it lacks strong projection or long-lasting performance, many users find it pleasant and carry it well during warmer months, especially for daytime wear. The most praised aspect is its ability to feel unique yet familiar—reminiscent of Burberry Her, Kayali Eden Juicy Apple, or the sweet nostalgia of vintage body sprays. It succeeds as a clean, airy, and fruity alternative to the original Thank U Next, especially for those deterred by the original's signature pickle note.
Pros
- +A crisp, juicy fruity opening that feels refreshing and light
- +A soft, sweet, marshmallow-drenched dry down that is pleasant and approachable
- +A safe, accessible choice for fans of fruity, gourmand fragrances who want something lighter and less intense than the original
Cons
- −Weak longevity and sillage, with most users reporting it lasts only a few hours
- −A linear scent profile that lacks complexity and evolves little over time
- −A tendency to feel generic or youthful, resembling affordable body sprays or mass-market fruity perfumes
