Opal Drip

They had leftovers of this on KKW and if not many folks wanted it at 27 bux then who's gonna buy it at $90-$270 a piece? haha Isn't that annoying with discontinued items on reselling sites. Ok, I am not complaining, though it seems like every company has decided to create their own version of popular types of scents, using various different blends that result in the same or similar perfume, whether that is Mon Paris (not long ago VS came out with Tease Candy Noir as if we needed more clones of that), La Vie Est Belle or Good Girl (see how many clones this one has already: I want Choo, Miss Dream, Women Secret Intimate, Dhalia BBW, Coach Dreams Sunset - and I am mentioning those that I own). I am tired of smelling Cloud everywhere (and Mon Paris clones), but I love the different variations of it in the sister perfumes, esp those that smell more herbal or more ambery and balsamic than Cloud. I loved Cloud at first, it led the bandwagon when it comes to imitating BR540. I mean, trying to. I got bored of it quickly, it is too celebrity-like: overly sweet, almost syrupy thick, where at first I thought it contains almond so I liked the new twist on the BR 540 DNA. Then I discovered In The Stars which is amazing imo: so ethereal, a bit herbal, not overly sweet. Burberry Her followed, then VS Tease Creme Cloud, VS Pink Water Astrology mist (I love this one and lasts long), also VS Midnight Bloom is pretty identical to Cloud... I mean the list goes on. Also BBW Aromatherapy Cedarwood + Vanilla has the elements reminiscent of BR 540, and it is a cool-toned scent not warm, and I absolutely love this by BBW. If you like the strong cedar and amberwood of BR540, BBW's Cedarwood + Vanilla is amazing imo. An even stronger spicy, resinous balsamic amber I find in the VS Tease Creme Cloud that burns my nostrils at first - I love it tho I find it milky sweet yet bold and crude - sandalwood flower (?) heavy amber. So Opal Drip was not needed in the market...? but to me, Opal Drip has other elements in it, aside from the Cloud "coconut" vein (I mean lavender is a common note), and it is not like BR540, maybe long cousins. Certainly in the same Cloud family when I smell Opal Drip at the projection. Opal Drip has a sour and green flowery element that is not reminiscent of Cloud, it has a beautiful calming due the Oakmoss, musky resinous base and the sugar is not in your face. I am a huge fan of Oakmoss, wherever I find it (esp in Chloe Nomade). I find Opal Drip a unique variation in this congested genre. As time passes by that's when I get more of that Cloud vein that I smell from its sprayer. Personally, I love Opal Drip and I find it abit different compared to Cloud and even In the Stars (each one has different traits). With the sample I had I was quick to say next but I recalled how ethereal it smelled and bought it. It's not the overly sweet coconuty, vanilla-heavy version that Cloud is. It also has a beachy vibe going on because that's apparently what Lavender does to me..and I get that beachy vibe (like suntan lotion) from Libre which also has lavender! Drip reminds me of a light summer breeze, it does not suffocate me. I don't feel it smells cheap or metallic (in a bad way) on me. At first Opal Drip smells more sour on me than its cousins, in a good way tho, and imo it's the least sweet of all, and I detect a subtle smokiness before the drydown. It is also the most soft and discreet of all. It lasts on me 3 hours which is less than most KKW perfumes last on me. Opal Drip has the most suitable bottle for this type of scent, just like VS Creme Cloud. The bottles may remind me of eggses but they're flat on the back and sparkly.

Cloud / Baccarat family all the way (and I hate Baccarat, but like this) w/ citrus instead of the coconut in Cloud. It's mossy, heavy on the musk, and ever so slightly juicy! A fluffy, slightly "warm" cozy moss with mandarin orange peel ontop. Its cozy and earthy with freshly laundered sheets hanging in the backround. Before bed: 4 sprays, 2 on chest and 2 in crooks of elbows with some getting on my shirt. I really felt like it didn't project much, let's say 3/10 for projection, but it's a lovely skin scent that I kept getting whiffs of throughout the night! The next morning: Now that things have completely dried down, my nose is picking up a slight honey dew melon note! And yes, it did stick around even though it's faint. If you can grab it for around 30ish dollars at TJmaxx like I did, I'd definitely recommend it! I wouldn't pay up for it. Side note: I was walking towards the beach recently and swore I could smell the deer moss on the dunes (with some other coastal herb my boyfriend named, but i cant remember) , scorched concrete.....mild temperature, slightly warm sand.....this fits somehow. Maybe it's the moss.

I love Ariana Grande Cloud so after seeing people say Opal Drip smelled like Cloud I was sold. I do get the Cloud comparisons but Opal Drip smells closer to Bath & Body Works In The Stars than it does Cloud. Either way it’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ll never get sick of perfumes that have that BR540 vibe so I’m beyond happy with this perfume. I already got a few compliments and the performance is great! If you like BR540, Cloud or In The Stars then I can guarantee you’ll like Opal Drip as well.

Stunning bottle & scent.Smells quite similar to Katy Perry's Mad Love & Ariana Grande's Cloud which are both rather sweet whereas Opal Drip is less sweet but more floral.Sillage and longevity are very good, a joy to wear ❤

Right off the bat I’m reminded of Arianas cloud. But it’s more watery in the opening. Sugary dry down. I really like it I like having options close to cloud it’s my fave
