Ariana Grande is breaking down the difference between her new fragrances, Mod Vanilla and Mod Blush, now available at Ulta.com. Grande took to TikTok with a brief rundown of the fragrances and revealed which once she wears the most.
“I was so excited to do something different, but I also genuinely fell so in love with these scents that I had to put them both out at once,” she shared in a video posted Thursday (Dec. 1).
The newly blonde singer went through “like 50 testers in the past year” to come up with the fragrance duo, which she noted are “two of my favorites so far.”
Mod Blush and Mod Vanilla “do different things,” added Grande. “I would describe Mod Vanilla as kind of warm and sensual and the more ‘gourmet sexy’ of the two.”
The singer-actress describes Mod Vanilla as a “sister” to her popular Cloud fragrance. The scent features a “gorgeous blend of deep pear” with a “delicate touch” of pink freesia. “I think I wear this one the most,” she revealed.
The “lighter, flirtier of the two,” Mod Blush is a “combination of Italian Bergamot, passion fruit and dark raspberry all beautiful bound together with a touch of pink pepper.”
“I hope you love them as much as I do and if not, that’s OK. I’ll just wear them alone,” she joked at the end of the video.
Grande showed off her blonde locks in a sneak peak of the fragrance duo last month. In the retro-style video, posted to her Instagram Reels on Nov. 20, Grande channeled ‘60s mod-style in two different outfits, seemingly representing both fragrances. The teaser starts with Grande strutting up to Vespa while wearing white ballet flats before we get a glimpse of the Grammy winner and her blonde pigtails, along with a shot of her eyes in the rearview mirror and tattoos on her hands, and she appears to be wearing her wedding ring.
The retro wardrobe included a white dress and gloves, with matching hoop earrings and a Cult Gaia Diem Top ($278) and Alma Wrap Shorts ($168) in pink.
The 29-year-old singer also shared a photo gallery on Instagram giving fans a closer look at the promo shoot and images of both fragrances.
