Ariana Grande R.E.M is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Alexis Grugeon. R.E.M opens with Quince, Salt, Marshmallow, and Fig, settles into a heart of Pear Blossom and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Ariana Grande's R.E.M carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

R.E.M. is a divisive, quirky lavender gourmand that manages to be both sweet and salty. While many find it comforting and unique, some struggle with its unusual blend, likening it to anything from laundry detergent to an old aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine kicking back with salted caramel while surrounded by blossoming lavender. R.E.M. opens with a surprising hit of sweet marshmallow and caramel, balanced by a curious salty edge, often accompanied by juicy fig and quince. The heart deepens with calming lavender, gently mingling with pear blossom, before settling into a soft base of sandalwood, musk, and tonka bean. It's a sweet, powdery, yet aromatically distinct scent with an intriguing salty twist.
