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.

A really nice fresh green floral, if a little simple. It’s hard for me to place exactly what the smell is, which I guess is the cassis, which is a note I’m not really familiar with. It’s sort of powdery in the same way that iris is, but has a distinct tart-fruity characteristic that keeps like really light and refreshing. Inoffensive and wearable but not really groundbreaking.

Fresh and Sweet Notes are : Cassis Absolute Cherry Blossom White Musk Very feminine and delicate. Perfect for Summer IMO The thing is, it’s the type of perfume that you need to test before purchasing to make sure you won’t regret buying. Update: I used it on my pillow case and it stayed for more that 18+ hours! I guess it sticks to fabric more than skin.

Opening smells like sweet berry sorbet with a tiny garnish of mint leaves. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't smell minty at all but a bit leafy. This is a lovely feminine fragrance! After the berry sorbet opening, the fragrance smells like a cherry blossom branch with the leaves. So simple yet uplifting, fun and breezy. Feminine. I like it. -

Floraiku perfumes are always simple, nice and comforting. This one is no exception. Cassis creates a fresh green opening but it soon fades and became a girly cherry blossom scent. It would smell classy and delicate on young girls without being overwhelmingly sweet.

Love the smell but on my skin, doesn't last long. Projection and longevity, for such an expensive fragrance, is very poor and weak.

Very beautiful, soft, light, feminine fragrance that sadly doesn't last nor projects.

I’m indifferent as I’ve found the scent profile of this perfume too similar to several others, and over the years I’ve developed a picky nose when it comes to its usage. I lean more toward an aromatic herbal direction when cassis or cassia is dominant. Examples: the masterpiece from Roger & Gallet, Cassis Frénésie, and one of my first loves, the original YSL In Love Again. This one is just too fruity sweet, and transitions into an air freshener on me— and I really hate comparing it to an air freshener, but the middle and base doesn’t have a natural profile. I wouldn’t recoil if someone else was wearing it, but I could never imagine reaching for it, regardless.

Starts with an overwhelmingly fruity and wet cassis herbal note and mutates towards the day to a more bright floral + musky fragrance, I really appreciate the cherry blossom here, I love cassis, but here I found it almost too fruity and too aquatic. I prefer I see the clouds go by after a couple of hours, I am not a fan of the opening. It is strangely similar to Izia by Sisley on my skin, but only after a few hours of wear. Other notes from the website and not found here : Bergamot Essence, Petitgrain Essence, Davana Essence,Cedarwood. I find this cassis cassis similar to the one found in Dyptique Ombre Dans. Not a safe blind buy, not office safe either

This is sweet and pretty without being cloying. I don't have much else to say about it, but it is a safe and bright floral fragrance that gives me major deja vu when smelling it. Maybe I've smelled this at B&BW or the Body Shop? It's not as sweet and creamy as B&BW's Japanese Cherry Blossom, but it shares some similarities in being linear and inoffensive. The cassis note that the perfume opens on is fruity, but it's not as juicy and complex as the cassis in One Umbrella for Two (which is regrettably overshadowed by the gross, screechy cedar notes). I don't think I'd ever pay 300 bucks for such a forgettable fragrance.

Finally a cassis dominant fragrance I enjoy. This is what I wished PdM Meliora would smell like but didn't. The cherry blossom softens the cassis to the point where it doesn't feel green at all. It doesn't give me fresh laundry vibes either. The white musk dry down is welcomed to balance out the cherry blossom. Cherry blossom is my favorite flower but I often found this note too overpowering in most perfumes. This is probably the most feminine fragrance I enjoy and I'm very happy that this has both cassis & cherry blossoms in it. It's a very playful fruity floral. Very pretty and delicate, yet fleeting on my skin.

A tart fragrance that opens up with grapefruit, lemon & passionfruit, is what I smell. Along comes some sort of woodiness that begins to soften the scent after 10 minutes of wearing. I get ZERO cherry—whether real or artifical—it's just not there to me. 🤷🏻 It's not Tom Ford or Kayali Cherry, either (which both seem artifical.) I don't know what cassis smells like, so I'm not gonna go around making sh*t up. And for musk, if it's in there, it'll probably show up on dry-down. Meliora, I wanna purchase, this one I don't. They are not similar to me.

I wanted to like this one, but for the first couple of hours it just edges bitter on me. Truthfully, It's not 'scrub it off bad', it is still wearable, and the good points are really very good - although it is pretty intimate, it actually lasts an extremely long time, and when it is fully dried down it is genuinely stunningly beautiful! At this price though... or even not at this price.. I'm unconvinced I'll ever be prepared to spray something an hour before I want to smell nice. I'm pretty sure it is skin chemistry though, so do test!

While this smells light, airy and pleasant, this is so overpriced. Lasted about 30 minutes on my skin. If you want something that gives the same vibe without breaking the bank (not a dupe, just cousins maybe), try Olfactory NYC's Dylan, Ineke's Balmy Days & Sundays or Cartier La Panthere EDT (not the EDP).

Sadly on my skin it's just soft, citrusy, a bit linear, and goes to a faint skin scent in an hour. I honestly don't get cassis, just generic citruses in the opening. I get a bit of blossom on the paper strip, but not on my skin Almost no musk It's pleasant but considering the price tag just meh

A fruity mostly mainstream scent It’s acceptable and for what it is Nothing special about it I smelled something similar before Leans feminine though nothing hard to wear Performance is moderate It’s not something worth owning unless you collect their bottles

This is a clean, floral scent - similarly to one of the reviewers below me - I’m getting blackberry with a green note. However, I don’t think the scent is unique/complex enough to justify the price tag.

It smells nice, but I can't believe the price tag! I swear I've smelled a celebrity perfume that smelled exactly like this...

Kind of reminds me of cherry chapstick? Or maybe the bonn-e-bell chapsticks of the 90s/00s. It's pleasant, a bit nostalgiac.

It begins almost sickeningly, syrupy sweet, like medicine. Like watching clouds, the syrup fades to cherry blossom.

Too much cassis overpowering the cherry blossom, taking things into almost into rhubarb level tart territory.

I have 1,5 ml of the Clouds. First I sprayed them on my wrists and chest - flash of citrus, juicy currant, quite musk. In an hour or so there were no traces of aroma on my skin. Instead my wrists burned, surprisingly no rash, just itchy feeling. Nothing like this on my chest. Then I sprayed it on my sweatshirt and it glued to it with Byredo’s Pulp reminder. I am truly confused if I want to try it again on my skin or not. Long story short this is not the Floraiku bottle I’d get.

Bought the discovery set and I have to say none of the 11 samples were revolting . I’m a white floral lover so “Sleeping on the Roof “ was my favourite but I was impressed that the fragrances had a light , refined formulation. Even the ones that weren’t my taste were not off putting . I feel “ I see the Clouds go” was in the “ don’t like”basket . It’s way too screeching fruity sweet . Not my cup of tea .

If you love super sweetly cassis berry and tropical vibe I smelled pineapple somehow, you may like it. But for me it's too headache. I can smell the cherry blossom but somehow similar with berries. The sillage is not bad actually. But turned into plasticy smell after hours on me.

Opens like fruit candy. Dries to artificial flowers - plastic and fake. Smells cheap.

Dominant Notes: Blackcurrant Bud, Rhubarb, Cherry Blossom Secondary Notes: Milk (Yakult), Musk, Davana, Petit Grain Nonexistent Notes: Bergamot, Wood Yakult (already familiar to expats around the world, or those who have already visited Japan) is a very special tiny drink, prepared from fermented milk rich in Lactobacillus (basically full of probiotics). Cow's milk or fermented rice. Widely consumed, it is often flavored with citrus, peach or blackcurrant. In short, we have here a fragrance with a note of Yakult, inspired by the Senmaida (Japanese rice fields bordering the sea) where the wind blows the clouds. A bold and tangy opening induced by blackcurrant leaf, the nebulous roundness of clouds running across the sky, pushed by the musky breeze, and the scent of rice in the ambient air. Cherry Blossom (initially muted) is often tart like an enzyme (example with "Encens Jinhae" by Atelier Cologne) in perfumes. A unique and interesting fragrance.

Floral cassis smell to me is my mother. (hey mom!) So it will always smell nice to me, this is a tart, light floral,a green but sweet floral. Very feminine, very emotive, for me anyway. Smells are amazing because they can really touch you in places that you didn't know existed (my mom died so now when I smell this, I just cry.) Lovely scent. This is super growing on me. Maybe it's the association, or the cherry blossom and bright cassis, but it's super nice. A little rosey also, or peonies....love it! Very fitting name :)

As much as I like the initial blast of cassis (it smells like black currant jam to me at first, mixed with lovely blossoming flowers), the longevity is a disappointment. After half an hour, the sillage is an arm-length, and after three hours I barely smell it on my skin. Is it just me? This needs reapplying during the day, if you want to keep that beautiful scent. That pricey liquid could perform better.

I See The Clouds Go By, is a fragrance from the Enigmatic Flowers Collection. The cassis absolute is quite overpowering at first, however when this note diminishes, it turns into a relatively pleasant scent. A little too sweet and feminine for me, so I won't be investing in this one, but do give it a go. The Haiku created for this one is: I see the clouds go by Indifferent To the tea picker's song

It is a heavy cassis at first spray. Apparently cherry blossom is a fantasy scent, so I only identified it as "sweet flower" after the cassis faded. However, my sister smelled it on me and identified it as "sakura" on first sniff, so I suppose this is a convincing cherry blossom. A longer lasting, greener, more energetic, and higher-end version of Rituals' Ritual of Sakura.

To me, it smells like light version of Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay. There's clear and green note in it. It smells like pink or lilac colour. It once turned sweeter like cherry in the middle and then dried down to light fruity-floral B&B scent again. It's absolutely feminine and mostly likely for girls at the age when they still dream for candy-like love...
