The scent may not remind you of being a teenager, but it definitely evokes the feeling of young romance. Ariana Grande lit up the streets of New York as she introduced her latest fragrance with a dance-filled event on Wednesday. Staying true to the classic trend of celebrity perfume names, the new Eau de Toilette is aptly named Ari by Ariana Grande. Watch the video below to see more.
Could this scent be the aroma of young romance? Ariana Grande recently introduced her new fragrance alongside her rumored boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, in New York City.
To mark the release of her signature scent, the 22-year-old singer took the stage at Macy’s Herald Square with two special men in her life – her brother, Frankie J., and her reported love interest, Ricky Alvarez.
Their relationship was first hinted at in July when the pair was spotted getting cozy at a donut shop in California. Not only were they caught showing affection towards each other, but also towards some unsuspecting donuts.
This sweet moment captured the duo’s playful side and hinted at a blossoming romance between the pop sensation and her rumored beau.

What’s got Ariana making faces? She struck a few poses on the purple carpet before taking the stage for her performance.
“It’s just too hard to resist!”: The singer behind the hit song “Problem” was spotted kissing bottles of her perfume and playfully twirling her hair.
She admitted, “There’s no excuse for it, nothing can justify it. But hey, we’re all only human. We all say and do things sometimes that we truly don’t mean, and it’s important to learn from those moments.”
She added, “We need to remember that our words and actions can have consequences. It’s all part of the learning process – making mistakes and growing from them.”
