In anticipation of Wicked: For Good, the second instalment of the story exploring the complex friendship between the witches of Oz, Ariana Grande Fragrances is dropping a pair of limited-edition Wicked-inspired fragrances. As with most Wicked-themed collabs, there’s a pink product (Glinda Bubbly Pink) for Glinda the Good and a green product (Elphaba Enchanted) for the Wicked Witch of the West.
As the first part of the Wicked movie explored, both characters are full of personality and are not quite what they seem. Glinda Bubbly Pink expresses the charming, bright nature of one witch with floral, fruity notes wrapped in sugary musk and creamy wood, while Elphaba Enchanted captures a spirit of determination and individuality with green apple and black plum coated with rich vanilla resin and warm wood.
