Cloud smells like whipped coconut and vanilla with a lavender freshness that keeps it from being flat. It has been compared endlessly to Baccarat Rouge 540, which overstates the resemblance, but the comfortable sweet-musky effect is genuinely similar.
For under $90 in Australian pharmacies it is the best value in this catalogue by a wide margin. Pleasant year-round, excellent for casual wear, and popular enough that you will smell it on others.
Best for: Teenagers, students, budget buyers and cosy everyday wear.
The opening — what you smell in the first fifteen minutes.
The core character, emerging after roughly half an hour.
The dry-down that lingers on skin and fabric.
Cloud suits everyday casual, office & work and date night. Its moderate intensity means three to four sprays gives you presence without dominating a room.
Expect roughly 6-8 hours on skin with moderate to strong projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
It performs best in spring, autumn and winter. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.
It is marketed for women, but fragrance has no rules — the floral character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.
Approximately $50 - $90 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
