Cloud Ariana Grande 2018 Eau de Parfum

I'm convinced the popularity of this perfume, or more suitably "fume", is the work of witchcraft.
Some kind of X-file case.

Cloud is tacky, overused, and far too strong. I often wonder if Covid permanently altered peoples nasal linings and that's why they can't tell that one, they've sprayed too much, and two, that they smell in any way good. I mean it'd explain the "hype". But hey, just a fringe conspiracy.
I had a coworker who practically performed chemical warfare on the work place by RE-APPLYING Cloud. Not needed! I could already smell her down the street before she even arrived. Okay maybe a slight exaggeration. Though my point still stands. Cloud makes people scent blind, to the extent they can't recognise it on themselves.

This fragrance smells like a headache. It's very young and not in a good way. Always lingering in classrooms, and hallways back in the later years of high school.
It's heavy and suffocating.

Honestly couldn't describe to you the notes in this one. It's sickly sweet; synthetic. The notes make it sound so sexy; promising. Very disappointing. Cloud invokes the same kind of headache that the smell of petrol gives me. I think if you like the smell of petrol you'll enjoy this one, which is clearly, a lot of people.

It's shame, I have actually enjoyed past Ariana Scents. Y'know the ones with the pompom. Sweet like Candy being the magnum opus. Though they're definitely meant for little girls.

Cloud has to be some kind of perfume psyop. One of a ridiculous scale. Anyhow don't fall for the propaganda that this perfume is to die for, in fact you might just make someone around you wish they were dead...so maybe it really is to die for?

Cloud is a sweeter and creamier take on the BR540 scent profile. It's hard to go wrong with it. I get so many compliments and it is so comforting. The top notes are their own entity, almost hard to discern the exact notes, but I like not having to pick apart a perfume. It dries down to a praline-coconut soft, sweet dream. The name and branding for the fragrance are spot on. Truly, the fragrance makes me think of a fluffy white cloud.

The fragrance is sweet, but it's not toothache-inducing. It's quite well-behaved if you are conservative with your sprays. It is easy to go nose-blind to this sort of scent profile, but don't mistake that for bad performance. She lasts quite a long time, especially on fabrics. It does have a sort of synthetic-y plastic element, but I enjoy it. It's not overbearing.

I love to wear this any day, any time, and any place. I think more men should give Cloud a try.

I love it. It is similar enough to BR540 to never get the original if you don't have the budget for it. Yes, the middle notes and drydown is a bit different from the niche version, but this perfume is such a delight, it is fun to wear and for a fraction of the cost, it is unbeatable. Where BR540 has a more airy, ozonic and slight medicinal quality, this perfume has way less of that medicinal, hospital vibe that some people complain about when it comes to its niche counterpart.
It's sweet, fun, lighthearted, suitable for day and night, all times of year except maybe December. It just screams "I am having fun".
You've got to like sweet scents to get this, and maybe also be a bit of a gourmand lover as the coconut dominates the scent in a delightful way.
I would never want to be without this perfume.
In my opinion, the projection is above average and the silage is too. You can definetly smell if someone around you is wearing this. Maybe not suitable for office, but for sure free-time, and almost any casual occasion.
The staying power is excellent. One can get anosmic to this one, however, so watch out, you might not even smell it on yourself after a certain point. I once didn't, but my boyfriend was very clear that he could smell it on me.
I love that AG did this, it´s so cheeky to release such a good performing cheapie of a groundbreaking, staple niche fragrance. If you like BR540, I think you'll like this one, but obviously, if you can afford the BR540, go for that one, as it has something exclusive and magical about it, with its airy, ozonic touch. Not too fond of the medicinal- leaning opening of BR540 one though.
Absolutely lovely, its simple, rounded, fresh colored bottle design which, without the plastic cloud part, lies good in the hand and has a nice atomizer. I think for the price point you can't go wrong if you like coconut, sweetness and are looking for a fun, not too serious fragrance most perfect for summer days.

I can see why this is so popular. Cloud is probably the J.lo Glow or Britney Spears Curious of this generation. It feels like you cannot avoid walking down the high street without getting a whiff of it. Not that I mind.

Cloud is a burnt sugar, so sweet that you might just break your tooth on it type of scent. If you are a man, don’t let this description put you off trying it, because I think it’s actually more unisex than what the notes or bottle might make you believe. The only downside to Cloud is a plastic note that creeps through but luckily it’s not enough for me to stop using it. Overall, it’s definitely a more youthful and budget friendly version of BR540. Not an outright dupe, but close enough to make your wallet sigh of relief.

It smells good, definitely very sweet and a little fresh, dries down very musky. There is a very synthetic smell that goes along with this perfume, I don't mind it, but it is something to think about if you are considering purchasing it. I don't really get lavender from this unfortunately. Overall good, very sweet, may be cloying to some but I know that a lot of people love this fragrance so if you want a crowd pleaser this seems to be the way to go.
