Creme of Clouds

Omg I love this! It is such a pretty pretty scent. It's like the inside of a Rafaello. I get the comparison to Eclaire but they are not the same. This one is definitely a sweet coconut milk accord while Eclaire is a lot more buttercream. But they are both dreamy caramel lactonic vanilla ice cream vibes so lovers of Eclaire/Bianco Latte will enjoy this. It is more fluffy, and lighter than the deeper nature of that DNA but still very decadent, very creamy and very sweet. Maybe even sweeter than Eclaire! It's not too too much though, the coconut milk kind of calms it down. I've never smelt TK Creme Brulée to compare. My only criticism is that there is just a slight bitter lotiony chemical aspect to it at the opening that fades away over the period of time. It is most likely the burnt sugar note, the chemical smells more like burnt sugar as it dries down but at the beginning it is kinda an unpleasant chemical in the mix. But Im hoping it smoothens out with maceration. Its gorgeous enough as it is, but I can imagine with maceration this would be perfection. Hey, Eclaire was basically a plastic doll head with a hint of cookies at the beginning of maceration and now it's completely my favourite vanilla! These middle eastern perfumes tend to get better with time. Its already very longlasting, from first impressions its a love! This is the type of coconut scent Ive been looking for! It has been sitting for a bit and yes the bitter lotion smell has become burnt sugar! It does still have a hint of lotion but its no longer unpleasant. It's actually really lovely now, I really enjoy this perfume.

I’m not just a fragrance enthusiast. I’m a coconut crusader. A card-carrying member of the “I’ll buy anything that claims to have even a whisper, a rumour, a faint hallucination of coconut” club. My shelves are littered with bottles that promised creamy tropical bliss and instead delivered stale suntan lotion smothered in regret. I’ve been hurt. Coconut Leche? More like Coconut Let-me-scrape-this-mildew-off-a-beach-towel. Qaed Al Fursan? Weird gym-sock musk with a coconut air freshener taped to it? No thank you. But then Crème of Clouds. This isn’t just coconut. This is THE coconut. The one all other coconut fragrances should bow down to in solemn reverence. It’s creamy, smooth, luscious, and decadent in a way that makes you question if you’ve been living a lie with your previous coconut flings. It doesn’t go musty. It doesn’t go dry. It doesn’t suddenly become a haunted piña colada. This thing floats in on a puffy, vanilla-kissed cloud, kisses your nose with a coconut macaroon, and then casually lays down a hammock in your soul. The scent is like sipping a coconut milkshake in the sky lounge of a private jet piloted by a suntanned cherub. It’s sweet but not sticky, rich but not suffocating, and tropical without being screechy. Honestly, if you’ve ever been disappointed by a so-called coconut fragrance (and we all have!), Crème of Clouds is your healing arc. Your redemption arc. Your coconut salvation. I just wish it lasted longer (3-4 hrs with moderate sillage), but at this price point I can bathe in it, so I'll happily accept that one flaw.

After wearing this semi-daily for a couple months, this has to be the most complimented fragrance I've ever worn! Louis Vuitton Imagination is a close second, but the reactions for this are more enthusiastic. I've gotten compliments from my coworkers, barber, friends, and friends of friends, usually asking for the perfume name. They've liked how literally edible this smells without being too heavy. The highest bar was passed as I came to visit my parents for the holidays. They typically find about everything I wear too heavy or bothersome. This one got an immediate compliment and my mom wanted to test wearing it. Even my dad, historically traumatized by vanilla air fresheners, said he likes this one because it simply smells like baking. I think that there's an universal appeal to this fragrance that's not fully shown in the reviews here. The 4.3 star rating this has on here IS very good, don't get me wrong. But the critiques may not fully capture how simply enjoyable this fragrance is, when you aren't smelling too close or trying to analyze it. This is the closest to an ultimate "You smell nice" perfume I've personally tried. Try having someone else wear this and notice your immediate reaction when you smell them!

The best vanilla/gourmand perfume I've ever smelled. And I've tried +500 fragrances on my skin. I love just how simple and delicious of a scent this is. Literally just vanilla marshmallow and cotton candy! Super mega sweet, but with a beautiful transparency that keeps it from being cloying. There's no Iso-E Super, hedione, ambroxan or musk here at all, at least in typical perfume amounts. Only vanillin, ethyl maltol and other gourmand molecules. Making this a true pure 100% gourmand with zero floral feel. Not just a floral perfume with vanilla added to it, like seems to be most common nowadays. Transparency and simplicity also makes this easy to go nose-blind to. The same way that the Molecule perfumes seem to vanish for the wearer while getting compliments. Actual performance is great, someone smelled two sprays projecting in the air 3 hours later! Kyse's Delizia Di Marshmallow is the most similar perfume to this from those I've tried, in style and spirit. It's also very transparent and simple with zero florals or typical perfume elements. But there's a plastic smell in it that bothers me. This one is my dream gourmand and I'm finally able to smell like I live in a vanilla marshmallow factory!!

this my first lataffa perfume and i can say that i am happy with my choice. it was a dead battle between creme of clouds and nebras elixir, but the coconut note made my favors weight in on this one. on the first whiff i immediately noticed a straight resemblance to the smell of rich vanilla ice cream. as the smell evolves creamy and airy notes start kicking in. the coconut in it isnt artificial nor tropical. to my pleasure i dont get any amber like note. the vanilla in this is pleasant, doesnt remind me of the usual body spray vanilla sort. it is a nice, comforting fragrance that i would recommend to any gourmand lover. as it is not cloying and suitable even for warmer weather, which makes it easy to reach for. only remark that i would make is its projection which isnt the best, but do have in mind that it will get better as it ages. lasting power is good, considering that i sprayed it at 06:40 am and coud smell it through the day. p.s dont mind the harsh smell which you might get from the first spray. i am currently macerating it but i still cant resist using it.
