On A Cloud

It’s Christmas morning. The snow is falling slowly and the flakes are big and fluffy. There’s a plate of half eaten cookies next to an empty glass of milk; Santa has been here. It’s chilly outside but your hands are warmed by a hot cup of peppermint white hot chocolate with a generous topping of whipped cream. Today, for one day a year, you feel the joys of being a child again. Everything is sweet and full of wonder. This is a simple yet extremely effective perfume. To my nose, it smells of peppermint, vanilla and sugar. The peppermint is sparkly at the top - bright and fresh. Then it dries down to a beautiful sweet vanilla lactonic scent that sits close to the skin. This is a personal fragrance that doesn’t scream, it whispers. It’s the upgraded and adult version of Bath and Body Works Twisted Peppermint. If you are as nostalgic as I am and love to create a scent space that reminds you of Christmas, this is the perfect scent. I would love to purchase this as a December perfume staple.

Just picked a bottle of this and yuzu up, and man. I will be keeping this stuff on the low, never smelt something quite like it. On first glance, lactonic and mint? Seems quite strange... I thought the same. Until I tried it. Oh. My. Goodness. J-scent, just have full access to my bank account already. This stuff is PHENOMENAL, and that is an understatement. It is light, airy, minty, slightly laconic, really refreshing, and has this “cooling” sensation to it. Please, if you have the opportunity to try this, do so. J-scent is one of the best houses in my opinion, their price to value is amazing, really high quality scents, and have a cool story to them unlike designers. Projects quietly, but in small close areas, others will be able to pick the scent up. Lasts around 4-6 hours. 9.4/10 (p.s. if you are in japan, check out tsutaya bookstores as they carry the whole line at all stores. Converts to around $32 USD.)

I have been on the hunt for a perfume that smells like my favorite candy, those mint pastel nonpareils. This is IT. Smooth, melty, sweet-but-not-too-sweet peppermint creams. This was an immediate blind buy for me and it paid off. It's incredibly wearable imo. I don't like scents that are too fresh or bracing but the sweetness and creaminess of this tames the mint, which is strongest at the initial spray and mellows out within 30 seconds. It's not too strong, which I prefer, and while it's a simple fragrance I think it's different enough from typical gourmands. You don't see mint in a gourmand every day (I also like Snowshoe Pass by Solstice scents but the mint is much farther in the background). It dries down to a slightly sweetened steamed milk vibe. So lovely & exactly what I was looking for.

I actually bought this last October and wasn’t overly impressed. It has now sat for 4 months in a dark wardrobe and the scent is everything I wanted. This is a delicious, uplifting, creamy peppermint scent. I love the smell. It’s cooling on the skin and would be really refreshing in the heat of summer. It layers beautifully with tea scents and citruses. It would also work really well with chocolate fragrance for winter. It is also just as nice on its own. I bought this deliberately for layering. It’s just such a shame it performs like a skin scent. The opening of this perfume is absolutely divine. It would be so amazing if it stayed that strong all the way through. I do still enjoy it though, and would probably repurchase it.

i love this perfume! a problem with a lot of perfumes that contain milk notes is that they start to smell a little sour, or even synthetic - but on a cloud is not that perfume. it smells like the kind of creamy peppermint candy that melts in your mouth or a mint tic tac. my two gripes with this perfume is that the mint from the beginning does not last as long as i'd like. when it's fully dried down, the mint is very faint and the perfume becomes more sweet vanilla. my second gripe is that the longevity of on a cloud is not that great in general. the projection is also very intimate, but that is just what j-scent fragrances are like. 9.5/10.

I bought this hoping that it would be that truly COLD milk that I was missing from lactonics, which always pull warm, sour, and cloying on me. It worked. Love her! Sweet, expressive peppermint milk in the opening. She's a creamy, powdery, sugary mint vanilla in the drydown. My partner thinks it smells vaguely marshmallowy. Very light, keeps close to the skin. I can smell this on my clothes for eons. This is now my bedtime scent after my nightly shower. This is a contender for my favorite scent overall. SO comforting, I will be buying backups. LOVE. Edit: Twisted Peppermint doesn't hold a candle to this. TP is sugary-sweet candy canes.

I want to say mint ice cream but it's not artificial in the way mint chip is. It's a smooth and creamy lactonic paradise with a sweet realistic mint. LOVE LOVE LOVE! My only gripe is you need to douse yourself to feel like your projecting, and the lasting power is not there. A really great one for when I'm working for home and I want to feel a little halo of sweet positivity. I sit at my desk sniffing my wrist lol! I could imagine getting a full bottle because it's the best version of this kind of scent that I've ever smelled, but the lasting power gives me pause-- it wears off in an hour or two.

i’m pretty sure this is my absolute favourite perfume that i’ve ever had the privilege to smell. this opens with a gorgeous peppermint note that reminds me of sugary candy canes then dries down into a milky vanilla that i can best compare to those white rabbit lollies? or milk bottle lollies? either way it’s absolutely lovely! it lasts quite a while on my skin, the peppermint fades quite fast but the middle and base notes are so good that it doesn’t bother me at all. my only regret is not buying multiple bottles while in japan :,)

Oh my stars!!! Be still my heart!!! ♥️ This is it. This is THE vanilla mint I’ve been searching for my whole life (well, maybe just my whole olfactive journey). There’s just one problem - it disappears almost immediately! I have loved her and treated her so well, and yet she still insists on betraying me. There’s only one solution... it must be cloned. If Dua made a clone of this, they’d blow it out of the water. I desperately need this in my life, but she’s gotta straighten up!

I love this! It reminds me of a vanilla peppermint tea I drink sometimes. White tic tacs, buttermints and humbugs too. Maybe a candy cane white hot chocolate. I get why some would associate it with the dentist but thankfully it feels more sweet and gourmand to me. Sometimes lactonic notes pull sour on me but this one doesn't. It's a fluffy white cloud of a scent. Pretty discreet sillage. I'm sure you could wear this any time but it's especially nice for winter.

Addicted to the sweet vanilla peppermint combo, reminds me of how I was obsessed with white tictacs as a child (first thing I ever stole from a store, an accident but still theft) but mostly for that short lived sweet coating. If this lasted more than 10 minutes I'd forego every fragrance I own in favor of on a cloud. Sadly, my collection remains and I will never shell out $100+ for such a fleeting pleasure.

A milky fragrance that can be worn in the Spring and Summer. Light, uplifting and quite delicious. If you like milky fragrances this would be a great addition to your collection! From a minty milk candy (not overly sweet though) opening, it dries down to a nice warm milk scent. Amazing longevity! Projection is quite intimate. Scent: 8.5/10 Projection: 6.5/10 Longevity: 8.5/10

smells identical to tictacs. phenomenal scent, but god does it disappear. the peppermint disappears extremely fast, about 15-30 minutes on my skin, and you're left with a very pleasant sugary vanilla drydown, which does still smell distinctly of tictacs, but even the drydown i find lasts only a couple of hours on me. definitely one you need to carry with you to reapply.

Dreamy soft creamy peppermint, so beautifully done. Reminds me of those soft pastel mints served at weddings in the US. The mint lasts only a matter of minutes as always for this note, the difference here is it simply fades out s instead of breaking down into noxious byproducts which is usually the case. Gentle milky vanilla drydown.

All fragrances in this line are pretty poor performers, and are fairly linear. However they are extremely photorealistic to what they claim to portray, and this scent is no different. It smells EXACTLY how you imagine a milky summer cloud in Japan to smell. I never wear this, I just spray it to feel nostalgic about Japan.

smells like those red and white peppermint candies and humbugs, buttery peppermint candy. it’s a chilly cooling mint, initially i found the milk note a bit strange and off putting but it fades out pretty fast and becomes pleasant and sweet. i haven’t smelt a similar fragrance

minty sweet goodness. smells like one of those mint chocolate candies that some restaurants have with the hard shell. so light and milky, the name is very apropos. this is the start of my quest for the perfect mint perfume and we already have a very strong contender.

This is so interesting! I thought I got whiskey, milk, sugar, and mint. I see that there’s no booze, but I sense it. It must be the strong mint and sugar that gives me that smell. Anyway, definitely a gourmand. I don’t have any perfume like this. So interesting.

Reminds me of mint chocolate ice cream on spray, but starts to smell like the first few seconds of popping a mint tic tac in your mouth, vanilla/marshmallow scent that gently mixes in with mint. I really like it, smells delicious🩷

Like another reviewer said- smells like one of those peppermint candies that melt in your mouth. Very uplifting yet cozy . Too bad that it only lasts like 1-2 hours in skin. It’s still love for me though, perfect for summer
