Katy Perry's Mad Love vs Sweet Like Candy

Mad Love is viewed positively by the community as an unpretentious, sweet gourmand fragrance with a fun pina colada character. While not aimed at niche fragrance collectors, it's appreciated as an accessible, comfortable daily scent that works well for layering and casual occasions.

Sweet Like Candy and Cloud by Ariana Grande have passionate fans in the r/fragrance community who are drawn to their sweet, creamy ambroxan-forward profiles and nostalgic qualities, though some find the opening unpleasant. While objectively viewed as lower-quality fragrances by fragrance aficionados, their emotional appeal and affordable price point make them popular entry-level scents.
