Absolutely smart move, at the time of creation of Baccarat rouge, when everyone was hooked to the new, strange scent of iodine. “Cloud” came to the existence as a smart marketing decision. Perfumer of this fragrance is Clement Gavarry decided to create gourmand like scent that every woman wants to try and it must be affordable. He combined Lavender, Pear and Bergamot to the top of the olfactory pyramid, added Whipped cream, Praline, Coconut and intoxicating Vanilla orchid to the heart of the composition, and build up base notes with Musk and Woody Notes.

This perfume is for special occasions, flirtatious, fun and fearless of the inner beauty. I went through all possible dupes, but “Cloud” creates happy mood like no other perfumes. When the time will pass, Cloud will have its own place in the Olfactory library among the top 100 most popular perfumes ever sold to the public.

Better than the original Cloud perfume!

I will be fully honest; I was never a fan of the original cloud. This does not smell like the original at all (to me). With cloud, all I could pick up on was the musky scents and it just smelled like cheap cologne and plastic. I never understood the hype. However, this is everything I wanted cloud to be. I smell what everyone else was smelling, the marshmallow-y coconut goodness everyone was talking about. It's creamy, slightly musky, and so delicious. If you did not like cloud, give this a chance. I had my doubts but this is now one of my favorite scents. I think making the smell more intense and adding the two extra notes really blends this a lot better and makes it really pop, so that sweetness really shines through! As it dries down I really start to smell the ... MoreI will be fully honest; I was never a fan of the original cloud. This does not smell like the original at all (to me).

As it dries down I really start to smell the sweetness more. The lasting power is also better as this one isn't as airy nor does it have that slight plastic smell. And the bottle is so cute! I will definitely buy another one when I run out. ☁️🤍

It's alright if you're a teen in highschool

I use this perfume when I can't make up my mind for what to wear. It doesn't last very long on my skin, so I have to spray a lot for it to have the projection and sillage that I want. This is a safe blind purchase, as it is very much a crowd pleasing scent. Many people like this perfume and I can see why, but it just simply does not last very long for me. I have not received any compliments while wearing this perfume. If you're looking for a better gourmand that lasts longer and has a better sillage than this, I recommend Lancomé- La Vie Est Belle. Or if you have the money to spend 300 dollars on a bottle of baccarat rouge 540, then go for that instead. This scent very much smells like a teenage girl in highschool- not mature or sophisticated.

It's a simple and linear scent- it does not change or take you through a journey while wearing it, which is something that I normally look for in a perfume. Would I recommend this scent to a friend? Yes probably. Many people enjoy it, and that is absolutely fine- I just don't find it as appealing as other options that I have in my collection. Would I purchase this again? No I don't think that I personally would.

Love under an Egyptian sky - Cloud 2.0 Intense

Ariana Grande Cloud 2.0 Intense is a fabulous fragrance. I have the Original Cloud which I love but this version is by far a better quality, staying power and deeper fragrance. The fragrance is exactly what is says on the Box, a Cloud so fluffy think Marshmallows or candy floss, it's sweet but not cloying it's Feminine without being girly, the opening is sweet but the heart is sensual and the dry down is sexy! The box and packaging is young and playful and aimed at the younger end of the market but this fragrance is I personally feel aimed at a more mature audience. If Cloud is for teens and twenty somethings, Cloud 2.0 Intense is for an older customer who appreciates the similarities to a much hyped and talked about very high end fragrance.

There is no doubt about it this is a very very good copy IMHO. The 100ml Limited Edition is £50 in Boots online or instore. The 'other' well known fragrance will set you back a couple of hundred quid! Quality ingredients, good projection and staying power it's a big bottle so reapply when required. Its not loud and in your face, it's more intimate and classy and well crafted and I love it, highly recommended. I have decided I will be taking this fragrance with me on my holiday to Egypt on Sunday 15 days Including a 7 nt stay in Hurghada 3 nts in Luxor and a Nile Cruise for 2 weeks along with a few others I adore all decanted of course in travel size atomisers. Don't just try it buy it! You will love it. ❤

My 1st fragrance... & an EXCELLENT choice! Practically perfect

Recently, I noticed that most of my peers have started wearing fragrances! So, because this is easily the most popular affordable perfume ever, decided to buy this as my first ever perfume... and I'd definitely say that I made the right choice!This perfume is incredible. It's sweet, it's airy, it's fresh, and it's noticeable, which makes it perfect for fall, winter and spring!At first, I was hesitant about buying it since it's marketed towards women, but it's actually a VERY unisex scent. It's perfect for just about any occasion, and it's youthful and mature at the same time, which makes it a perfect signature scent for me. I don't know why people are saying this isn't long-lasting; I spray 5 times (once behind each ear, once on each shoulder, and once on the back ... MoreRecently, I noticed that most of my peers have started wearing fragrances!

It's perfect for just about any occasion, and it's youthful and mature at the same time, which makes it a perfect signature scent for me. I don't know why people are saying this isn't long-lasting; I spray 5 times (once behind each ear, once on each shoulder, and once on the back of my neck), and this scent EASILY lasts on my skin for 8 hours, and on my clothes for quite a few days! And even when you spray too much, it's not too overpowering or unpleasant.I find that the price for this perfume is great, given its quality! My only complaint is that the projection isn't super far-reaching; but that's hardly an issue for me, since I've heard the 2.0 version fixes that!I bought the 1.7 oz bottle, and once I run out, I'll definitely be buying the 2.0/Intense bottle, since I think a more creamy version of this that projects a bit better will be perfect for me!In short: please give this perfume a try! It's unisex, VERY well-priced, long-lasting (especially if you spray on your clothes), and it's perfect for the seasons we're currently headed into. Wearing this perfume truly makes me feel like I'm on top of a soft and fluffy cloud.

My HG perfume!

This scent captivated me from the moment I smelled the sample inside an Ulta magazine. Then I actually sprayed it on me and the result was a bit different to where it took me a while to warm up to it. I didn't buy it right away, but once I got a whiff of it on a shirt in the hamper days later, I could not stop sniffing it and I was like ok, if I smell that good then I'm sold!I know everyone's body chemistry works differently with a scent, so it may not be for you. On me, however, it changes. I'm not sure what contributes to that (maybe drier skin days vs moisturized skin days?) but the three scent profiles people have pointed out are sweet, fresh, and my most favorite compliment of all that I get consistently "you smell like magic!". It's my absolute favorite ... MoreThis scent captivated me from the moment I smelled the sample inside an Ulta magazine.

It's my absolute favorite thing to hear and I get it often. I work in a huge hospital and rub shoulders with tons of patients, coworkers and employees daily and get compliments CONSTANTLY. It has amazing lasting power as well and smells just as strong after a 12-hour shift as when I first sprayed it (but not too overpowering).In summary, this is an amazing scent that can run more masculine or sweeter (feminine) on a person depending on the body chemistry. It's a complex scent that I honestly can't describe, so I guess "magical" seems to be the most fitting word for it since it's what most people say. All I can say is even if you're not sold in the beginning, try out the travel size like I did and just see how it wears on you! It morphs throughout the day in my opinion, so it just may surprise you. One thing I know - you WILL get compliments galore!

Not a dupe for B540

How is this the Ariana fragrance everyone talks about? Is it because people are so desperate to smell like the other very expensive perfume they want to think this is going to fit the bill? Maaaaaaaybe I could see this being slightly similar to B540 in the dry down, but to be honest, Baccarat Rouge 540 is super heady, extremely strong, and the longest lasting fragrance I've ever worn. Too bad it gives me a massive migraine. Cloud, on opening, smelled sweet to me, no particular note stuck out. Then just moments later, it was coconut sunscreen so strong and noxious I had to scrub it off. A couple days later I smelled the nozzle just to make sure I still didn't like it and I could kind of see the similarities to B540, but honestly, people who know that fragrance won't ... MoreHow is this the Ariana fragrance everyone talks about?

If you're trying to pass as wearing it, no one will believe you. If you like the vibe of B540 and want something that on the dry down ONLY kind of has the same vibe, this might be good for you. If you can get past the artificial coconut blast first. So glad I got a sample first and didn't buy this.

Such a Perfect Composition

Truly gorgeous scent. Manages to smell fresh, clean, cuddly, creamy very sexy. Perfect signature scent as it works with refined minimalist casual or dressy attire, it's even comforting when lounging in your comfiest clothes or sprayed just before bed. Very soothing. This is so much better than the original Cloud. This scent really needed the roundness, smoothness, extra dimension that this composition has. Really perfected. This scent is clearly loved by many, please add a shower gel and lotion for Cloud Intense 2.0, it's just too good not to layer! Another option would be to produce it in oil form so we can add it to our favorite shower gels and lotions. Lastly, would love to see a bottle redesign that looks less cutesy and more elevated as this scent is truly a ... MoreTruly gorgeous scent. Manages to smell fresh, clean, cuddly, creamy very sexy.

The most amazing milky creamy coconut...

Bought my wife the body mist of "Cloud" on a whim while in Ross one day. Smelled it at home just for funsies...and OMG...I'VE SMELLED THIS BEFORE!!! Back in 1996...I was playing "Marathon: Durandal" on my very first Windows 486 PC and some expansion card in it died and the magic smoke came out. It had this electric plasticky smell that mixed in with the old-school gel-pack "Glade plug-in" that I had plugged in near the computer...and the resulting mix was THIS FRAGRANCE!!! I SWEAR it smells EXACTLY like that "electronic fritz electrical zap comforting air freshener" smell that happened! After I shutdown the pc and extracted the fried expansion card I started playing my "Marathon: Durandal" demo from "PC Gamer magazine" again and I had the most awesome ... MoreBought my wife the body mist of "Cloud" on a whim while in Ross one day.

After I shutdown the pc and extracted the fried expansion card I started playing my "Marathon: Durandal" demo from "PC Gamer magazine" again and I had the most awesome experience...mostly because of the game but ALSO because of this smell! Definitely picking up a BIG BOTTLE of this ASAP!!! EDIT: Couldn't wait...bought a "lil-cutie" 1.0oz bottle at Walgreens and ordered the big bottle that'll take a week to arrive. Already...it layers perfectly with "Raghba Wood Intense"...I knew it...I could feel it in my soul that it would be perfect. I can't wait to get home and experiment with layering this with other frags! This may sidle up to "Eros - EDP" as one of my favorite layered vanilla frags...if the longevity of "Cloud" is up to par with it. Eros for vanilla-apple, Cloud for vanilla-pear. So far...my entire being is soooo pleased with this heavenly fragrance! This is the perfect Cyber-Vanilla-A.I. fragrance for the new age! Scent: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A-Grade AMAZING!!) Longevity: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Literally lasts all day and night on clothes!!!) Cost: 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐(Pricey) Overall: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This smell disappeared faster than my baby daddy.

Let me start off by saying I love AG fragrances, this woman has an MKUltra level chokehold on me. I am confident in blind buying any of her scents knowing my hamster brain will be happy.Every one kept worshiping the god forsaken cloud bottle and I knew I needed to get it at some point to appease the AG gods. I decided to skip the safe cloud option and go straight for this one because it was new, had no reviews and I would get to help build the beautiful bandwagon before it hit the road. Dangerous, risky and exciting.I wanted to love it, I tried SO hard. I spent 3 days in my apartment trying to force a relationship that was never meant to thrive. I tried everything. I sprayed my usual areas, I over sprayed, under sprayed, held a swatch up to cat and begged him to ... MoreLet me start off by saying I love AG fragrances, this woman has an MKUltra level chokehold on me.

I sprayed my usual areas, I over sprayed, under sprayed, held a swatch up to cat and begged him to give me hope. He was also incredibly underwhelmed and told me to move on.The issue is not the smell, the issue is that the smell was not down with my skin and peace'd out real fast. I'm telling you, I sprayed myself, walked over to my bed, and the smell was GONE. Not even a trace. You would think I just told this perfume they were wanted on a federal level.I returned the perfume and I still wonder if that was a mistake. The mystery of this phantom fragrance still keeps me up at night. How was it even possible?I began gas lighting myself into thinking it's a me problem. Maybe I'm not good enough for this perfume. I ended up settling for regular cloud and it's fine. She's safe, normal, sticks by me but I don't have to chase her.You can love a perfume all you want, but you cannot force a perfume to love you.
