Cloudscape

10/10 (would give 20 if I could) The first spray of Cloudscape hit me with a powerful rum note. It was so strong it felt as if I had just returned from a party. Since I do not drink alcohol, the opening felt overwhelming. But the moment it settled on my skin, I was completely taken aback by how beautiful it became. The peach emerges with a delicate sweetness, wrapped in soft floral tones. The balance is perfect. It is neither heavy and warm nor overly fresh. It has that just out of the shower cleanliness, yet it carries an elegant and playful personality that feels grown up rather than youthful. I cannot judge the performance by myself because I quickly stop noticing it on my skin, but the compliments speak for themselves. I have never received as many with any other perfume. People often stop me to say how good I smell. For me, this is the perfect perfume for a morning in the office. It is fresh, uplifting, and easy to wear without fear of overapplication. Even a generous spray never turns into a headache. The only disappointment is that it was a limited edition and is now discontinued. If I could, I would keep wearing it for the rest of my life.

I love wearing this one to bed, It is light and girly in a delicate way that is a bit clean and a bit sparkly.

This one is so underrated, I just got it and wow, this is heaven in a bottle, I'm in love

This perfume is part of the newly released Dream Collection, which features warm woody floral scent. It is a vanilla and tuberose bomb, anything but complicated. The opening is already sweet and powdery with tuberose being the main role. It is rich and deep, an elegant opening. Then vanilla comes up and adds more sweetness. It gets sweeter and milky. It somehow reminds me of Black Musk by The Body Shop. Rum is subtle here but I still get slight boozy note. After a while vanilla dominates. It smells more like vanilla ice cream with its creamy milky smell. A floral gourmand scent. Sandalwood in the drydown brings calming and comforting effect. If the early stage is described as "loud" with vanilla and tuberose calling for attention, the drydown is more relaxing and calm, a self-care moment. My opinion (as a male) about this perfume is that it is easily wearable and acceptable perfume. It is a simple floral gourmand perfume, even somewhat generic. When I saw the word "cloud" in its name, I was expecting something airy and light, with a lot of musk in the base creating a clean skin scent. Instead, I find it very "heavy" in the early stage, but the drydown is quite pleasant.

Subtle rhum and non-dusty musk are something you can definitely detect in this morning/daytime fragrance. In my opinion they make a lovely combination with sunny sweet tuberose and juicy peach, perfect to wear during warm spring and summer days in some casual situations like enjoying a walk in a botanical garden, visiting a shop that sells good quality linens or cute garden accessories, or attending a morning class of outdoor yoga. Okay, I agree that rituals perfumes are not super exquisite, but those deserve a stable place in the middle shelf. I can definitely recommend this fragrance if you like fresh, fruity and not complex warm weather type of scents. I’d probably consider buying a bigger bottle when I run out of my 15ml.
