I did not know the fragrances of Ariana Grande so far, I'm not a huge fan now, but I expected something extremely girliehaftes here. Anyway Imo its pretty and lovely; warm and sweet scent. It doesn't smell like celebrity scent...to me it smells like expensive components. This is a dream. It doesn't blow me away, but it has its own charms. It's interesting because when I smell it closely, I mostly get a very pure lavender (the kind of scent that you get going to a lavender farm or from a small pillow / sachet filled with lavender), and a subtle sweetness paired with woodiness that likely evokes that slightly fougere signature that some people talk about with R.E.M., but from arms length / with my arms laid flat on my desk (I spritzed it once on my arm for test), I enjoy a very gourmand touch to the perfume. I personally don't agree with the cologne comparison but I see where they're coming from because of the lavender element. I really enjoy the zefir in this and it shines with the subtle saltiness in it. The quince and pear give it such feminine elegance. I would call this a comforting and feminine fragrance, but its also quite unisex appropriate.

I feel like I can smell all the top notes for quite a while, the scent doesn't change much throughout the day. I also think this perfume is quite feminine but not in a really young or over-the-top way, it's quite subtle in the best way possible. I can still see why some people say it's unisex though. I think sillage is moderate, I have gotten compliments on it even after it's been on for hours. On my skin pretty much all the Ariana Grande scents last including this one. I feel like I can get through a full 8-hour work day and still smell wafts of it around me. It does become more subtle and intimate after maybe five or so hours though.The scent stays with me very long on the skin, even until the next day is the clearly perceived. At me he smells after longer wear still sweet and quite spicy, especially the tonka bean comes out well. At primary school age, a friend was given a small, round bottle made of frosted glass as a present. The lid was a plush rabbit head with a bow on top. Her parents had probably thought of the fragrance as a pillow spray for a peaceful sleep, because the liquid in the glass bottle had an intense lavender smell. While playing on a grey afternoon, we took the bottle and sprayed wildly all over the room until everything was literally fogged with lavender and then rolled up in warm blankets. This is a really reassuring and romantic perfume, in that sense. Very bold for an affordable, celebrity fragrance. It's great for linen too--- spray your bedsheets and have the sweetest dreams. I can imagine the fragrance very well as a cuddly scent or simply in the evening to relax, because of the lavender note.

Nevertheless 'R.E.M.' has something of its own, which the other Ariana Grande perfumes didn't have until now. For me it's warm and fresh at the same time (although you might think that's mutually exclusive).

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. The bottle of R.E.M. (short for "Rapid Eye Movement") is the absolute eye-catcher with the crystal design (the crystal frame is made of plastic, but still does not look cheap) and makes itself well on my perfume table. This was a really nice one for me. I think if I was trying to get something new that I liked I would get this. It's one of those fragrances that you're not sure if your head over heels for or if you just like it.
