I See the Clouds Go By

Sampling this today. On skin I get this giant juicy blast of cassis. Definitely the berry. However, simultaneously I sprayed some on a cotton blouse I am wearing, on the blouse the cassis is greener, fresher and dryer like the leaf. On skin there is a bit of morphing into a floral- an innocent floral. Definitely a cherry blossom interpretation. Quite delicate since the cassis on skin is still blasting through as a sweet and berry like. At the same time I smell a bit of a smokey musk poking through all of this. In the meantime the spritz on my cotton blouse is already developing into a unified delicate, sweet, musky puff. Almost as if angelica is in there but it is not - it is the dry cassis leaf. I absolutely LOVE this. Something very comforting and fresh for me in this scent. The presentation is phenomenal but the price point for the juice? No way. Not even certain I would fork out the cash for the 10ml travel. The longevity is just not there. I would certainly buy it at half price though...

I got a free sample of this fragrance and avoided trying it for a long time, never having quite gotten over the overwhelmingly sweet clouds of Cherry Blossom floating out of every mall's Bath and Body Works. When I finally tried this scent, I was blown away by how much I love it - no sickeningly sweet cherry blossoms in sight! The main note I get from this is the warm ripe-berry cassis, grounded by the white musk, but kept light by just a hint of cherry blossom. I have a strong childhood memory of eating dark, juicy blackberries and black raspberries in a field near my house, the surrounding air filled with sun-warmed earth and meadow flowers. This fragrance captures that feeling for me perfectly. For me, it is not overly sweet because the cherry blossoms keep it light and the white musk gives it depth, but I could see it being sweet enough to be classified as a feminine scent.

This is such a beautiful perfume. I really can't think of a word more adequate than "beautiful". Like that feeling of finally arriving at the summit of a mountain and having your breath taken away by the view. Juicy, fruity, floral, and a little musky. I can discern that it's cassis I'm smelling, but something about it mingling with the cherry blossom gives me BIG strawberry vibes for some reason! The only issue is, this is screaming The Body Shop to me. It doesn't smell cheap/synthetic by any means, but the actual scent profile itself absolutely smells like it could be a TBS release (I haven't smelled it, but Cherry Blossom Strawberry Kiss is probably similar enough). For that reason I'm really struggling to justify the price tag. Will certainly enjoy using up the rest of my sample though.

Reminds me a bit of Percival by Parfums de Marly, which makes sense considering that this fragrance is almost certainly inspired by Meliora by Parfums de Marly. Although I've never smelled Meliora, I know that it shares the same DNA as Percival. My biggest complaint, though, is that this fragrance is ridiculously expensive for its lack of complexity and depth. Sure, this is a layering fragrance, but that's exactly why I don't like the price. 455 CAD; what a shame. But damn, the potential I see in this fragrance is unreal.

I love the clean freshness. Very airy. I get a “green tea” vibe. I did the whole discovery set and this and one umbrella for two were my favorites. I get a nice scent bubble that I keep smelling on me for several hours. This feels fairly unisex. I did get a full bottle- it is on the expensive side. I wish they had an option without the travel spryer top at a lower price.

Impressive one ..after 12h it’s still on my skin and very beautiful,very classic perfume! In addition Powerful house, they do use best quality of ingredients !!! Alienor Massenet Bravo !

This is lovely! The main note is definitely cassis. It is sweet, fruity, and floral without being too overwhelming. Quite feminine which usually isn't my taste but this could change it

The enjoyability of this frag is really dependent on skin chem, by which I mean the cassis smells amazing on my skin but smells like cat piss on my mom's

Excellent! Love this fragrance! Very bright and beautiful. Compliment getter! I wold love to have a full bottle, but it's too expensive.

He is delicious and juicey is very beautiful and elegant for those girls who wear a pink dress in the air🦋

This is worth conservatively 1/5th of what it’s priced at which is still a compliment, considering

Definitely is insanely overpriced but to be honest, many Floraïku perfumes are imo. Yes, the packaging is magnificent but do we want to pay these big bucks for beautiful packaging? At this price point, I think that the quality of the juice and the performance of the perfume are what should determine the biggest part of the price. Now, this is a very pretty fragrance. I love the way cassis is executed here, it smells fresh, mouth-wateringly sour, juicy. It smells like the most natural and fresh smelling cassis fragrance sprayed on freshly washed, crisp white clothes. The clean linen accord is not sharp nor aggressive, it's very delicate like dry clean clothes that sat in a closet for days after being washed and ironed. Projection is good in the first couple of hours, then it becomes a skin scent. Longevity is actually quite good, certainly not as short-lived as Cricket Song. I wish I could find a less expensive alternative to this because I really like it but 265€ for 60ml is way over the top. However, it reminds me of how a loved one used to smell so I can't help thinking of them when wearing this.

Its one of the most beautiful cassis scents. Vey direct, thats almost all there is. But what it does, it does well. Streamlined mix of jammy juicy blackcurrants, touch of creme de cassis ie blackcurrant liqueur and slight aromatic greenness from blackcurrant leaves. I'd bet it also has some fresh touch from basil and mint. Its slightly similar to One Umbrella for Two in this sparkly jammy cassis, but gives a full rounded interpretation of black currant. No tea or rice can be found. It lasts quite well for Floraiku that normally has very fleeting scents. Cherry blossom is very faint, smells like general spring in orchard- cherry/plum/apple trees in blossom. Nevertheless, I'm a big fan or natural smelling blackcurrant in all its forms, and this symphony of different parts of this plant is very addictive. Recommended to all die-hard fans of cassis, if only you can take the price ;)

I have a sample of this and I decided to try it today. At first it gave me the feeling of cleanliness, like I just got out of the shower, my skin is still wet, and I used an expensive type of shower gel. The projection went soon from moderate to a skin scent. 3 hours in and I can smell it if I stick my nose to the wrist and occasionally I get a pleasant whiff from my clothes. I like the fragrance but I think in the Floraiku collections there are more unique ones which I'll spend my money on. For this one tho I'll check the fragrantica suggestions to see if there is one that comes close with a lighter price tag. A note on the Floraiku packaging: I adore it. It's perfect down to the details. I think it makes for an extra luxurious gift, or rather gifts cause the bag sized sprayer in itself is a little work of art that I enjoy carrying around in my purse.

I have a sample package from Floraiku and today I felt like reaching for something uplifting and fresh as the temperature outside rises. I see the clouds go by is just that. I find it so uplifting sadly (or may be a positive point to some not so enamored with strong projective fragrances) the longevity is not great. It turned into a skin scent 1 hour or so into wearing it. It performed better sprayed on clothes, where I can still get whiffs now and then during the day. The opening is fresh and sort of herbal, soon after the perfume stays quite linear. I get a lot of cassis on me, the most subtle hint of a clean musk but no cherry blossom. Considering the price tag I would not purchase it

Fresh and a little tangy. It doesn't project, which I like - I prefer something that sits close to the skin. Upon initial spray, I get a juicy and tart fruit - probably the blackcurrant and cassis, something that reminds me of vacation. I do get a touch of mosquito repellant , probably from the petitgrain, hovering in the background but that goes away rather quickly as the other notes round it out. Although not the same, for some reason, I get Dear Polly vibes with the tea... there's no tea in here but perhaps that's the davana playing as the aromatic note that tea often gives. This is what I wanted Dear Polly to be.

More of a green floral than fruity floral in my opinion. I was expecting more of the blackcurrant, since that's the first thing listed on the floraiku website when I was researching, but I don't get that note at all. Not disappointing but definitely not what I was expecting. I'm not usually a fan of florals, but cherry blossom is light enough and the white musk gave enough warmth that I liked this still. And the hint of green with the floral makes for a very 'breeze through a field' vibe. Solid spring scent.

This is a very sweet and floral-y fragrance, it is definitely not the type of fragrance that one would expect someone who leans more masculine would wear. I believe this fragrance is very feminine. It lasts a VERY long time (I wore it to work where I do 12hr shifts). I could consistently smell it whenever I was moving around, so I would say that it can be smelled if someone was close to you. I like the smell, my mom would like the smell as well. But it is heavily overpriced.

Starts off with a very powerful, fizzy blast of cassis. This lasts for about 20 minutes before the musk and floral notes are more apparent. It’s a pleasant fragrance once it settles a bit. But it’s definitely similar to Lalique Amethyst in terms of the ripe berry juice you get from the cassis leaf. The fizziness in the opening also reminds me a lot of Nina Ricci’s Bella. I’m not sure I can recommend this fragrance based on the fact that it’s hardly unique.

Smells like an über fresh shower gel in a very fancy hotel. The cherry blossom has Rituals or Body Shop vibes. The cassis leaf is quite sharp, fizzy, almost like freshly plucked herbs, maybe mint leaves? After spraying it I'd keep getting whiffs of it for hours, and it projects well too. I think it would work amazingly in spring, for those who can splurge this much money on it, that is.
