This perfume took me all the way out it made me come full circle on my perfume adventures and I'm still shook. After 10 years discovering niche perfumery and spending so much money I discovered BR540 and fell in love with it I just wasn't in the headspace (and didn't have the money period) to spend above 100 for a perfume anymore because if I buy it it means I love the scent so much that I'm going to wear the hell out of it and I'm going through full bottles so fast it's not financially sustainable for me. So I bought Cloud looking for a dupe and my first impression was this: not only it does smell like BR540 - you say 70% - but to the average person not into perfumes as much as we are it's a 90% - and the 30% that makes it Cloud hit me with A MEMORY of my favorite place on earth ever ! I couldn't believe it this smells exactly like the Indigo book store that had a starbucks in Toronto near the eaton center seing as the perfume has a whipped cream note it makes a lot of sense and this throw back to one of my happiest place that was made just for me blew my mind. Ironically, even though this is a celeb perfume, from a celeb I don't even follow, and is cheaper, it is an absolute banger I got many compliments it's a celeb perfume way above its league I mean it's being compared to the finest and stands solid, so. The coconut/Fig note makes it an exotic stunner during summer (synthetic à la escada but soleil blanc creamier) the cream a warm stunner during winter (the angel wings yankee candle so much, basically heaven). To anyone really looking to get a dupe for BR540 remember that it will not smell 100% like BR540 to you or to trained perfume afficionados but to the regular person it will and they might even like it better ! BR540 being the real complex luxury perfume it can be hit or miss, most people stopping me (it happens a lot to people wearing that BR540 dna) to ask about what I am wearing have no idea about BR540 their refferences are the perfumes you get at sephora etc which is not a diss cause that's where a lot of masterpieces are, but something to take advantage of when looking for other perfumes. Mind blown: cloud is a "unique" (not so much, but to the majority of people though) CROWD PLEASER that smells a lot more expensive than it is. For the price it's so good that you'll have to settle for the lesser quality of the packaging and bottle: the design is actually super nice I just have to say: the cloud base is unecessary for us older customers, elements such as the spraying cap of the bottle isn't high end and can fall out, and the name on the bottle says ariana grande instead of saying cloud which says so much about the marketing, this makes it look like merch if you get what I'm saying. Those are little details that remind you that this wasn't the most luxurious purchase and was marketed towards teenagers/young adults BUT the juice is top notch. I am 36yo and I have no shame in wearing Cloud and saying that's what it is, I don't even miss the real BR540 because as I said what makes it not BR540 hit home for me anyways. On the sweet sweet side which could throw off women looking for a very mature scent and at the same time, IF grabbing men's attention is something you want your scent to do, sweet seems to be a winner with them reguardless of the fact that it's supposed to be "a scent for 16yo" if you are confident about what you are wearing it doesn't matter you decide how you are percieved right ? (Combination of the scent+personal style+personality) this has the strong potential to (it does !) turn men's head. It's very unisex anyways, even the blue bottle is safe for masculine men which is why I don't like that it says ariana grande on the bottle cause I could see myself gifting this to a wrestler I'm just not sure he'd be a fan of seing ariana grande on the bottle. so sweet doesn't mean it is not edgy, it has an edge that the sweet perfumes 100% made for young girls do not have and that is the BR540 like DNA. "James Bond could wear this" being my interpretation of that lux beyond belief DNA. Don't be fooled by sweet Cloud is sexy. the devil wrapped in milky silk. Ariana sings that God is a woman, how sweet does that sound to you ? (Did that perfume also turn me into a fan ? Jesus)

Yes! I'm an older, mostly niche wearer, but I prefer Cloud to BR540. To me BR540 vacillates between the dentist office smell and/or I can't smell it. I can't smell what others say is "sugary" and "sweet" at all in BR540. I do smell the sweetness in Cloud, and Cloud is much better for me, though I find it does not have much longevity and can't stand up to cold weather.
@EVsSuck7772 жыл бұрын
As a male whom works in an environment where I smell both somewhat regularly… I feel like Cloud smells like a very cheap imitation of BR540. Cloud is more harsh on the nose and less minty feeling which is what makes BR540 so great. BR540 always gets a positive reaction from me subconsciously, Cloud is more loud and cloying.

So, Aaron since you know so much about the chemical’s used in fragrance I have a question for you from a novice fragrance collector with zero knowledge of the chemicals used. But, there’s a chemical some houses use that I can smell that cannot. I’m positive they can’t because most people are smelling heaven and I’m squarely in hell. I don’t know how to describe the smell except that it’s horrible. It reminds me a little of Raid which is an awful chemical used in the States to kill roaches, etc… Erba Pura and quite a few fragrances from Xerjoff has it, Tizinia Terrenzi uses quite a lot of it, Mancera (Instant Crush specifically), and I’ve found it to be quite prominent in tons of Arabian fragrances. Can you tell me what that might be? Or do a video on why some people smell these things differently than others or talk about how what commonly used chemicals smell like in fragrances?

I recently saw your review on Baccarat Rouge Extrait. I wanted to buy a bottle but it was out of stock where I live. So instead I bought the EDP and got it a few days ago. I have to admit that I wasn't too overwhelmed by it as it smelled familiar to Cloud. In fact, I sprayed both on me and there was a subtle difference. Does the Extrait smell different? I'm having second thoughts on whether I should get it.
