Bright and cloudy
The bottle of Cloud is visually well done, if you like cute, not too serious designs. It reminds me of a children's perfume, but I think it's meant to appeal to teens and young adults anyway. Since I remained a kid at heart, I like the look of the bottle. I consider the white and blue geometric cloud design to have artistic merit with its slightly comic book vibe. Many buyers of Cloud are absolutely not fans of the plastic cloud stand, but for me, that little cloud is a big selling point: the bottle stands sturdy and well-protected in its holder, which I find very practical. Between some boring bottles of my perfume collection Cloud gives with his cloud the certain "je ne sais qoi".
At first spray, the fragrance comes across as a men's scent, which at first surprised me a lot, if not irritated me. This prelude reminds me of oriental and sweet men's fragrances, which I have often perceived at parties on various men in passing. This does not necessarily correspond to my personal taste, to be honest.
After the perfume has settled on the skin after a short while, the scent turns into a creamy, creamy coconut praline. It smells incredibly delicious and rich - simply scrumptious! Since I have a sweet tooth, love to bake and adore everything that springs from the world of confectionery and patisserie, I am of course happy about this development.
I think the scent is just heavenly. I have to close my eyes and sniff my sweater all the time. This fragrance invites you to dream on cloud 7, so the name "Cloud" fits really well.
I'm not an Ariana fan so I'm not familiar with her music, but her scents are already killer. The price-performance ratio of Cloud (as well as R.E.M.) is insane. You get a high-quality celebrity fragrance for a reasonable price, which does not come in the 0815 flacon, whose content lasts incredibly long, which smells insanely good and is in no way boring.

How it all began...
I never thought I would get to see this bottle again.
It's been more than 22 years since I've sniffed the scent of this eau de toilette, my very first fragrance treasure. I miss it. Maybe I can find an alternative to this eau de toilette, even if it is not from Barbie.
Because the passion for Barbies was very big, I got this fragrance from my parents for my birthday.
It was a very long time ago, so I think it's relatively redundant to pretend I can remember every scent. That's definitely beyond the intellectual horizons of a (then) seven year old, and wouldn't be honest of me either.
I remember it smelling like a real, good eau de toilette: fruity, fresh, sweet. You might assume it consists of cotton candy or other sticky-sweet components in keeping with the Barbie theme, but surprisingly, it was really super good and gave me a lot of pleasure.
Even though the target audience was clearly girls or young teens, this was actually a serious fragrance that was in no way artificial or cheap. He could keep up from today's perspective qualitatively in any case with drugstore fragrances. Maybe there but also just the nostalgia speaks of me.
My girlfriend has at the time when playing 3/4 of the bottle sprayed empty for fun, which has honestly broken my little heart and I was very sad about it.
I have since gotten over my pain and have acquired a "big girl collection" of perfumes over the last 20 years to compensate. ?
Since the fragrance is no longer available and you don't need to refer to this post for a potential purchase, you can see this as a little dreamy anecdote that sparked my passion for perfumes at a tender age.

Pure Rose
This treasure was once in my Glossybox. Since I was really happy, because fragrances are as good as never included in the surprise boxes.
I find the simple flacon design very chic. The bottle has a practical rectangular shape to take with you on trips or carry around in your handbag. With filigree, delicate flacon with fragile details, this is namely not easily possible.
L'Eau de Rose ("rose water") lives up to its name. For me, apart from rose, honestly no other fragrance notes are obviously recognizable, but that does not bother me in this case, because the perfume is overall fresh, sweet and pure.
The pleasant, unobtrusive fragrance was a successful surprise for me, but with only medium durability. Since I would re-spray again during the day.
I do not see the "simplicity" of this fragrance as a weakness. Perhaps he is thereby even a suitable candidate, which is well suited to layering with other perfumes.
For me, the magic of this fragrance lies in its uncomplicated simplicity.
I think everyone longs now and then for no-frills things that make life not unnecessarily heavier, but just happy.

Viva La Delicious!
Viva La Juicy Noir is one of my favorites from my collection.
For one thing, the fuchsia bottle looks great on my dressing table. What some call kitsch, others find stylish. Many Juicy Couture bottles are adorned by the pompous, playful rococo design, as is this one, which is exactly my taste.
Secondly, I like the sweet, strawberry compote flair of this perfume. Since I have a sweet tooth, I don't mind smelling like a delicious, wild berry dessert. Vanilla and caramel are distinctly noticeable after a long wear, which is a highlight for me in the wearing experience.
In my experience, sweet and appetizing scents of this type make you want more, in the sense that you want to know more about the wearer. I find the fragrance suitable for a date or a party night. A possible conversation starter from the other person on the dance floor between songs might be, "Hey, you smell super good. What are you wearing?". I would definitely respond positively to such a compliment.
The only thing that really makes me sad is the durability. This fragrance evaporates quite quickly like other perfumes in the Viva La Juicy range.
The perfume reminds me of a fragrance oil that is added to the air freshener in famous lingerie stores, so that an intimate and attractive atmosphere is created in the store for the customers. I think that this "trick" can also work in the ordinary wearing of this fragrance and invites seduction in everyday life.

Warm summer nights
I got the fragrance for my birthday as a gift from a friend. She has my personal taste with this gift very well met.
The shape of the bottle is kept quite simple, which is very convenient for travel or for the handbag. Previously, there was another design on the bottle. The design was orange / peach and held in pastel, which I liked much better than the current black ornaments. About taste can not be argued as is well known and since I like the fragrance so much, it is not quite so important to me how the bottle looks.
The bottle sprays a gentle, fine mist that lays over the skin like a veil of silk. The fragrance is aromatic-sweet through the night jasmine and orange blossom. The pleasant spiciness is provided by the sandalwood. I loved wearing this fragrance when I went out and when it was very hot in the summer. I have also sprayed the fragrance more often on's hair and then worn them open, whereby I have received many compliments.
This scent reminds me of romantic, warm evening walks by the water. I like that the scent is sensual yet understated - Just right for me.
The shelf life is quite limited, since this is not an Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette, but a Fragrance Mist. Thus, it does not seem so overloaded, but like a delicate touch of a perfume. Who is looking for something super intense, long-lasting, will unfortunately be disappointed here.
I like the theme of the fragrance. Write somewhere "India" on it, so you get me always. :)
