I was walking next to a girl at uni and could smell ariana grande cloud, i asked her if she was wearing it and she said it was actually baccarat rouge 540. Working in fragrance i smell the cloud fragrance alot as it is quite popular and has a distinct smell. I can definitely confirm that it is an exact double of 540
I love this purfume! I did a blind buy and was not disappointed. I got the last one from Wal-Greens today. It smells like a woodsy marshmallow on the dry down. It has a light smokey scent and smells like a lighter version of bonfire bash from bath and body works. It would last longer if you use the bonfire bash body cream with this purfume. It smells Amazing!
I have that perfume! I ordered it 2 days ago and got it yesterday! It’s the best! And the best part is it’s cruelty free wich means they don’t test it on animals! Wich is great!
i bought this the other day because a woman came into sephora and all i could smell was this fragrance! i first thought it was a men’s cologne, but then when i asked her what she was wearing, she said this. it actually took me by surprise! i did not expect an ariana fragrance. i wore it to work the next day and my boss asked me if i was wearing “by the fireplace” by replica. i’ve never smelled that one but it was one that always intrigued me! so i am very happy with this fragrance. my new signature.
i just smelled this one and LOVED it. yum. like a sexy toasted coconut marshmallow. it's sweet but there's something special about it to me. love your reviews. you sound very educated and professional.
I have bacc 540. And today my young classmate was wearing cloud and I kept saying I know she's not wearing bacc 540 no way. It smells really similar!!! But it doesn't last near as long as bacc 540.
I just bought Ariana Grande’s Cloud perfume this week. I also own the Baccarat Rouge 540 and it doesn’t smell the same. Thank you for your honest review!
Did you do a blind test? Spray one side cloud and the other side 540? Ask your friend to pick out which smells better. Your body chemistry might have make a difference or make both the same perfume smell the same on you.
I got this recently and like it. Love the tropical, coconut opening it has on me. It's synthetic and the dry down is linear, and I don't mean that negatively. It's light, sweet and airy, not heavy or cloying. It lasts all day on me even if it isn't a projection beast. I got it because I was curious about the BR540 comparison. I have BR540 and I honestly don't find them similar at all. At best, a nod to a synthetic aspect and/or sweetness? Maybe I know BR540 too well? I can't believe I would mistake the two, but I still like CLOUD just for what it is. Simple, light, sweet. It makes me happy. Your reviews are ALWAYS honest and so well informed. I'm always looking to see your reviews whenever I'm checking out a potential new buy. Thank you so much for sharing!
CLOUD! Yessss. Im down to my 5th bottle!!! I wear it EVERYDAY! People I don't know ASK me what I was wearing. Id tell tell it's probably my body wash! Health-care setting won't let you wear perfume!!!!! PERIOD! 😜
You really shouldn’t wear perfume in a healthcare setting, you are probably working near people who could get sick and have bad reactions to the scent. Where it out to dinner instead!
You are spot one! What a talent! Think I shall buy this for my 21 year old daughter who like creamy sweet vanilla scents! I have been on the fence however you made up my mind! God bless you for sharing your talents! TYSM and be safe.
when i first smelled it, i found it overpowering and offensive but then i had to smell it again cuz the dry down was so good lol i think i might pick this one up. also i love how concise this review is!
Found your channel while continuing my search for 540 dupes and had to subscribe. Your review was about the fragrance without useless commentary and that is what I needed. TFS!
I just bought the Baccarat Rouge 540 travel size for $45.00. I tried the sample first for $25.00. I will have my husband buy a full size bottle for my birthday, in May. I think the Cloud would be too sweet for me. I'm a 63 yr old and don't like whimsical. Great review, thank you.
This is the best breakdown and comparison that I have found. One downside of Cloud is that the scent is not consistent between bottles! I own a bottle and then had my sister smell one in ULTa. They did not smell the same. That’s a big downside.
you know i am noticing something similar. i bought a bottle like 6 months ago and over time i feel like the sweetness at the beginning has gone away. i went to kohls and sprayed the tester and it was WAY sweeter and yummier upon first spray so i thought mine had gone bad. so i ended up buying a new 1oz bottle and yet it still smells like the first bottle i have that isn't as sweet in the opening. weird. lol
@@DrGoldieMD im not sure. The tester at ulta wasnt as sweet as the one at kohls. Im glad i wasn't the only one to notice they don't all smell the same i thought i was trippin 🤣
I've had this perfume for a while and I'm just realizing it's similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 since I've never smelled it before I had no idea but I definitely like the Ariana Grande fragrance and by your description, it seems like I would like Baccarat Rouge too!
Yes it smells good; sweet like creamy candy, but there’s actually another fragrance that smells similar and is even cheaper: Bath and Body Works’ “In the Stars” ✨
I feel like cloud is creamier and has that praline note too. To me they are way different. Who knows, I go nose blind to all the baccarat type fragrances.
I don't know why but it also feels a bit salty (?) It is very sweet but there is something about it, that smells so different and absolutely not sweet and I LOVE it! At first I hated the smell but I couldn't stop thinking about the perfume and after a few weeks I bought the largest bottle and it was the best decision. 😂
I absolutely loved Glo by JLo then she did some flankers of Glo. They were all nice, Miami Glo was really good. I wore Glo for a very long time. I am looking for a signature scent. I can’t find “the one” maybe I’m meant to change it up. I love Gypsy Water, I love Gucci Memoire, I love Narsisco Rodrigues, and I love Lost Cherry. Recently I tried Cherry Punk by Room 1015 and loved it too. I recently picked up Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi and it is fantastic. It is a beastly performer. I am liking it very much and now I am so interested in this house. There’s other fragrance’s that appeal to me. Cassiopeia sounds “heavenly” pun intended. I also picked up Dark Purple by Montale it’s heavy on the rose 🌹 but I like it.
Just received a sample of BR540 yesterday and did one spray to smell. I liked it. We shall see how it will be when it’ll be my scent of the day. Thanks for the review ✌🏻
Great video👍 Honestly, to experience this type of fragrance you need the real thing. It's absolutely magical. When you think it gone or is a skin scent, it magically whispers in your ear. I have a tough time wearing sweet scents but this is just different. The opening puts a huge smile on my face lol. If it costs a bit much for people just pick up a 10ml decant, it lasts a long time. I have two clones.....not even close! I'm rambling on lol.....Have a great day/night🤙
Happy birthday! Even though 540 isn't for me , if someone loves it. It's always great to have a less expensive alternative even if it isn't an out and out dupe but something that can get you a similar vibe is helpful 👌 Top class as always 🙏
I loved this perfume on the strip so I ordered it, but when I got it on my skin I got a strong note of play dough and almost skunk! My husband said I smelled amazing though 🤔 I'm hoping if I keep using it I will start enjoying it.
@Mr. E.W Firstly, Cloud is so overused and generic, everyone and their grandma is wearing that perfume, Thank U, Next! Literally smells like pickles and R.E.M. Isn't bad but it isnt great, i prefer Arianas earlier perfumes WAYY better, mostly Sweet Like Candy. And Rihanna's perfumes honestly aren't all bad but there are only one or two that I liked enough that i would buy it. I'm a celebrity perfume collector and have over 200 bottles of perfume and out of all this perfumes, the top 3 would be 1) Fantasy By Britney Spears 2) Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Tease (Discontinued) 3) Sweet Like Candy Ariana Grande
Oh dear, just blind bought two bottles of these as I recently learned it's available where I live. Thank goodness for my three nieces who I am sure would snap this up if I don't like it
I am actually surprised I liked it. I don't really have a celebrity fragrance in my collection and I am not really a gourmand person however I really did enjoy this fragrance when I tried it and I am definitely going to get it.
I wore Cloud and my client thought it was BR540, I was flattered but told him the truth. I have and like both. I don’t get how they smell similar. Cloud and BR are airy almost effervescent due to ambroxan but similarity ends there. Cloud smells juvenile (not negative), linear, much sweeter than BR, w/all due respect to you Cloud fans it smells inexpensive. BR is magical in that you might not smell yourself but believe me others can (I get lot compliments). It’s sophisticated, smells rich, blended well, the sweetness is subtle, worth every dollar, MFK did excellent job creating this masterpiece of scents
Thank you for this video! I was very interested in this scent, but what with covid, I have to blind buy as there are no testers. I love a gourmand scent so this makes me feel more confident picking it up!
Jade Aguero I did! I like it! I find the dry down is very similar to Patrick Ta’s body oil which is a scent I’ve always wanted bottled. I’m happy with it!
Nice review Steven. The only celebrity fragrance I own is The Secret Temptation by Antonio Banderas, and it’s actually quite decent. It smells really nice, lasts for awhile, and I get a lot of compliments. And, I only paid 18 bucks for it on Fragrancenet.
Yes you are right they are 2 different fragrances now that l own both of them l now see the difference cloud it gives off the baccarat feeling in the beginning but turns to this boring candy like smell whereas baccarat keeps the same smell it doesn’t change but they are all great fragrances l love love
Just based on the paper strip that came in the Ulta book it reminds me of Burberry Her which I love. Smells like cotton candy and leather. If this scent is similar it will be almost half the price of Her. Crossing my fingers. Can't wait to try this.
I snuck over and sampled this one day while I was out with my daughter. I would absolutely wear this but I think as a mature aged male, if you go sparingly on the trigger , it can be pulled off. Untill then I have PV's Sillage of Unicorns for me and my wifes actual 540 that will keep me in smelling dope.
That's the same plan I have. One or two sprays...max....and us guys can swing it! Might layer this with something else also since it's so sweet. Either way...I've GOT to have this!!!
I just bought pink sugar and I agree it is juvenile but I’m gonna wear it 😂. Ariana Cloud kinda smells a lil like Dolce and Gabbana Garden. I just bought the 1.0 oz of Ariana Grande Cloud at Walgreens for 25. tonight.
Yes exactly the same smells only different prices. And the longevity is nice. Majority of pe op people have to keep in mind that all body chemicals and certain fragrances dont mix well.
Thx for the content Steven and Happy Bday! I totally agree Cloud smells good but not a clone of BR540. What I initially got from Cloud was the sweetness but almost immediately, I smelled a peach & coconut smoothie, a tropical drink...fruit sweet & creamy. Honesty I'd wear cloud, it'd be a great vacation scent imo. Thx again!
I find the commented confusing and strange. This is the one perfume I must smell in person before buying. Some comments describe the perfume smell as clouds, marshmallows, Disney land and sexy. :/ I've never thought of any of those as "sexy" :/
Cloud hit me with a thunderbolt of a cheap coconut scent. Much like I've smelled in hair products or Sally Hansen massage cream. I gagged. Dry down after 30 min not too bad but nothing like Baccarat Rouge 540 🥴
As a guy who loves br540 I purchased this yesterday, personally I would say if you like br540s opening you’ll probably like this however past 3 minutes it’s has glimpses of br540, it isn’t a substitute however it has a weird creamy smell mixed with the br540 smell. Br540 has a kind of salty drydown because of ambergris however this has a sweet drydown kind of like prerogative by Britney Spears
To me it smells like a sweet sugary scent with men’s after shave. And cloud pink smells like the 2008 Abercrombie and fitch men’s cologne with cotton candy
To me this is really close to BR540. When I first smelled it on a test strip that’s what it smelled like to me. A day later I was sitting in my living room and I started to get the scent of BR540. I thought someone in family had got my bottle of BR540 and was wearing it. It turns out that the smell I was getting was from the test strip I had sprayed with Ariana Grande Cloud the day before and was sitting on my coffee table.
Great review! Thanks for putting the debate to rest 😊 Ariana’s fragrances are all pretty good, I like them all! Happy Birthday Steven!!! Have an amazing day!
I just purchased the travel spray for Cloud and NO it doesn’t smell like BR540. I have BR540 and nothing compares to it. This smells good but it doesn’t last at all. This is more of a skin scent or a bedtime scent.
I ve been trying this today and currently have it on my hand and have so for 5 hours so here’s my take.... for the first 5 to 10 minutes it does smell a bit like baccarat rouge however after that for 3-4 hours it’s like a candy floss whipped cream smell but past that it then returns to something similar to br again is it ok clone to be honest no. It has moments like br but not a clone. I haven’t bought it as I tried on a tester and I wouldn’t buy it as a clone of br540 I think it’s way too female rather then unisex in the way fantasy is female. I don’t dislike it but I won’t wear it but would be good on a girl/ younger lady
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! I agree that it's not much of a clone. Nonetheless, if people are into gourmands, this would be a great scent to check out. Thanks for watching!
If youre looking for a more fruity/sweeter scent try sweet like candy or moonlight. Sweet like candy is (as suggested) sweet. While moonlight is quite sweet with a hint of blackberries and vanilla
This is super interesting but not only that but very special....it reminds of like a mixture of Mariah Carey Sweet Dreams and Kim Kardashian Pure Honey....and I never went back
I love perfumes and have to say that Cloud was not my taste and did not think it smelled like BR. Cloud is way more synthetic, with a plastic scent and the coconut scent is overpowering.
Casino Royale by dua is supposed to be remarkably close. There is also Sunset in Heaven by Parfums Vintage which comes with a steeper price tag, but also quite a bit more juice. I cant recommend one over the other, never tried either, or even BR 540 , but all three are on my try list.
It is just me or I don't smell nothing that sweet, it is really exact dupe of Baccarat, to me Cloud has that same salty ambergris note, I get a wet salty stone feeling of this. Nothing like coconut at least. It is very alluring to me.
I have a sample of BR 540 and a 1.7 bottle of cloud. As an experiment i placed One on the right wrist one on the left. I had a group of friends and family smell and note the difference. The results I received were that the differences are extremely minimal to nonexistent. Hell both wrists smelled the exact same to me. This is the exact dupe and while some people may not like it and can note the differences, those who will argue to great lengths that they are in no way similar are being pretentious & eletist gatekeepers for an overhyped $300+ bottle of perfume.
Hello , I tell you that Cloud bored me so much so it is on my list of those that I will not buy again but I have Banana Republic Rosewood Amor and it is Cloud's economic dupe and there are several people who also persuade it
Well I really love this fragrance and really what to get it, know why? Cuz I am an arinator! I’m gonna get it from FragranceX because only they deliver to my country Thanks for the review, being a man, I preferred watching review of a man, because ya know, men are men, and can relate! Great vid !
I agree not a clone of baccarat i hate it when people in the frag com are trying to start a hype train that's just not worth it like you I was curious sampled it and I never got a baccarat feeling it smelled cheap and not even close I'm sorry but I have to be honest I respect your honesty 👌🏾
I was walking next to a girl at uni and could smell ariana grande cloud, i asked her if she was wearing it and she said it was actually baccarat rouge 540. Working in fragrance i smell the cloud fragrance alot as it is quite popular and has a distinct smell. I can definitely confirm that it is an exact double of 540
Oh, wow!
Or perhaps she lied and wanted to get away with the dupe 🥰
@@mimicakesit9091 hahahaha exactly what I was thinking
I've smelt both,There is very little difference between the two,I've just talked my girlfriend out of purchasing BR 540,a total waste of cash.
@@mimicakesit9091 I'm thinking the same.
Baccarat is one of it's kind and when someone will wear it trust me you gonna know 😍
Great bottle design it fits arianas personality & style of her videos
Thanks for watching!
I love this purfume! I did a blind buy and was not disappointed. I got the last one from Wal-Greens today. It smells like a woodsy marshmallow on the dry down. It has a light smokey scent and smells like a lighter version of bonfire bash from bath and body works. It would last longer if you use the bonfire bash body cream with this purfume. It smells Amazing!
I have that perfume! I ordered it 2 days ago and got it yesterday! It’s the best! And the best part is it’s cruelty free wich means they don’t test it on animals! Wich is great!
Oh no wonder it doesn't smell 😂
Thank you for informing us it is cruelty free. My children and I are highly grateful to this company now! Blessed new year to you and yours.

Ah, I see. BR540 has incredible performance!
On my skin „Cloud“ actually lasts very long.. I can smell it very clearly for 8/9 hours. It takes up to 14 hours until it disappears completely :‘)
Cloud most definitely lasts all day and frankly is a damn good money saver.
smells exactly the same but doesnt last as long i would agree
Maybe you bought the reformulated one
I just bought Ariana Grande’s Cloud perfume this week. I also own the Baccarat Rouge 540 and it doesn’t smell the same.
Thank you for your honest review!

Did you do a blind test? Spray one side cloud and the other side 540? Ask your friend to pick out which smells better. Your body chemistry might have make a difference or make both the same perfume smell the same on you.

Is the one from Amazon the real thing or a dupe? I want to order it off of there, but the reviews are saying that it’s not the real thing.

Cloud is an amazing fragrance....I've never tried Baccarat Rouge 540 but if it smells like cloud, I'm sure I would love it too!
For sure!

BR 540 is similar but a bit spicier, a tad less sweet, imo. I love them both. I wear Cloud daily, and BR540 on dates or special occasions.
Yes it smells good; sweet like creamy candy, but there’s actually another fragrance that smells similar and is even cheaper: Bath and Body Works’ “In the Stars” ✨
Yessss, I knew I smelled something similar to “Cloud” before. You named it. They smell exactly the same to me.

Britney spears has the best celebrity perfumes. Her perfumes Fantasy and Private Show are the best perfumes I've ever smelled

Sorry!
The description of this sounds like Aqualina's Gold Sugar. Oddly enough, when I first smelled BR540, the first thing that came to mind was Aqualina.
Wow. Thanks for sharing that!
I kind of want to try gold sugar. I understand why people would like pink sugar, but the licorice note just ruins it for me
Thank you for this video! I was very interested in this scent, but what with covid, I have to blind buy as there are no testers. I love a gourmand scent so this makes me feel more confident picking it up!

Just based on the paper strip that came in the Ulta book it reminds me of Burberry Her which I love. Smells like cotton candy and leather. If this scent is similar it will be almost half the price of Her. Crossing my fingers. Can't wait to try this.
I totally get that comparison as well!
I snuck over and sampled this one day while I was out with my daughter. I would absolutely wear this but I think as a mature aged male, if you go sparingly on the trigger , it can be pulled off. Untill then I have PV's Sillage of Unicorns for me and my wifes actual 540 that will keep me in smelling dope.
Very well said! I'm glad you had a chance to try it! Thanks for sharing.
That's the same plan I have. One or two sprays...max....and us guys can swing it!
Might layer this with something else also since it's so sweet.
Either way...I've GOT to have this!!!
I will have to check this one out. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I got mine a 30ml bottle and 10ml travel for £20 from boots! I think that's a bargain but mine smells amazing x
Thanks for commenting, Katrina!
Have you ever done a review on Lady Gaga perfumes? I’m so upset that they stopped making new ones, it’s my favorite fragrance.
Thank you for your review. On your recommendation I will buy this. It sounds absolutely lovely. Enjoy and appreciate you!
I have all of them except for the newest one thank u next and cloud is by farrr the best imo. My roommate agrees
Thanks for sharing!
I just bought pink sugar and I agree it is juvenile but I’m gonna wear it 😂. Ariana Cloud kinda smells a lil like Dolce and Gabbana Garden. I just bought the 1.0 oz of Ariana Grande Cloud at Walgreens for 25. tonight.
Yes exactly the same smells only different prices. And the longevity is nice. Majority of pe op people have to keep in mind that all body chemicals and certain fragrances dont mix well.
Thank you for watching, Rachel!
Thank you for your video. I just ordered Cloud ☁️🌸💕
I hope you love it!
Thx for the content Steven and Happy Bday! I totally agree Cloud smells good but not a clone of BR540. What I initially got from Cloud was the sweetness but almost immediately, I smelled a peach & coconut smoothie, a tropical drink...fruit sweet & creamy. Honesty I'd wear cloud, it'd be a great vacation scent imo. Thx again!
Thanks for watching!
I have Baccarat Rouge. My daughter has this cloud perfume. When we wear them together people can’t tell the difference. Just saying.
smelling this on my skin, i realise that the dry down smells like a less sweet version of Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille!
it’s unisex!! i wear it everyday
Same! It’s delicious.
mine’s coming in soon and i was wondering it was or wasn’t !
i bought it and i'm not sure if i should wear it doesn't smell like unisex in my opinion.
If you want this to be closer to BR540, layer it with Molecule 02, maybe a tiny bit of Molecule 01.
Thanks for the advice!
I’m a 27 year old male and I use this one, it’s soooo good x/D
I am considering right now to buy one, but I am a boy som I am afraid of public judgement 😢
I find the commented confusing and strange. This is the one perfume I must smell in person before buying. Some comments describe the perfume smell as clouds, marshmallows, Disney land and sexy. :/ I've never thought of any of those as "sexy" :/
I completely understand where you're coming from.
hi, you could say that the smells of cloud would be good in a boy? like ... unissex? i want it so bad but i´m male
Gu Reis i would say yes but honestly there’s not rules for perfumes,, you can wear any perfume that you want if you like it or want it ♡
I think so! Just don't overapply
Gustavo dos Reis Segura
Yes!! I personally think it smells more like a men’s cologne.
Happy birthday Steven. Great video !
Thanks!
I'm 44.... I don't like gourmand but love musk... Dunno if I should get it....
I love your reviews. Please make one for carolina herrera legere and supreme 🥳
Great review steven! Can you do a full review of baccarat rouge edp?
I'd love to!
I’ll check this out at Ulta near my home. I’m curious.
Hey, Joe! Thank you for stopping by!
Maybe it’s me but cloud doesn’t last on me. I’ll spray like 20 sprays and it may stretch 4 hours. I like it ok, just no longevity for me.
I have the same. It smells really good don’t get me wrong but the longevity is weak on me too
Cloud hit me with a thunderbolt of a cheap coconut scent. Much like I've smelled in hair products or Sally Hansen massage cream. I gagged. Dry down after 30 min not too bad but nothing like Baccarat Rouge 540 🥴
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
As a guy who loves br540 I purchased this yesterday, personally I would say if you like br540s opening you’ll probably like this however past 3 minutes it’s has glimpses of br540, it isn’t a substitute however it has a weird creamy smell mixed with the br540 smell. Br540 has a kind of salty drydown because of ambergris however this has a sweet drydown kind of like prerogative by Britney Spears
Thank you very much for sharing!
Redolessence I agree you have to be brave for a guy to wear this I got a compliment however it was from a man
To me it smells like a sweet sugary scent with men’s after shave. And cloud pink smells like the 2008 Abercrombie and fitch men’s cologne with cotton candy
To me this is really close to BR540. When I first smelled it on a test strip that’s what it smelled like to me. A day later I was sitting in my living room and I started to get the scent of BR540. I thought someone in family had got my bottle of BR540 and was wearing it. It turns out that the smell I was getting was from the test strip I had sprayed with Ariana Grande Cloud the day before and was sitting on my coffee table.
That's awesome! I'm glad you find a resemblance in it!
First of all thank you so so much for this great review! I just have a question is this fragrance is unisex or more femme ?
Originality is for femme but if u like smooth n fruity fragrance u may like this
Great i love arri ...the original is good too ...thanx for the review sir😉😎
Thanks for watching!
Burberry Her also has an extremely similar DNA to these two gems. Francis Kurkdjian is the nose behind that one as well!!
Yes! Thanks for commenting, Amna!
Great review! Thanks for putting the debate to rest 😊 Ariana’s fragrances are all pretty good, I like them all!
Happy Birthday Steven!!! Have an amazing day!
Thank you!
I just purchased the travel spray for Cloud and NO it doesn’t smell like BR540. I have BR540 and nothing compares to it. This smells good but it doesn’t last at all. This is more of a skin scent or a bedtime scent.
I ve been trying this today and currently have it on my hand and have so for 5 hours so here’s my take.... for the first 5 to 10 minutes it does smell a bit like baccarat rouge however after that for 3-4 hours it’s like a candy floss whipped cream smell but past that it then returns to something similar to br again is it ok clone to be honest no. It has moments like br but not a clone. I haven’t bought it as I tried on a tester and I wouldn’t buy it as a clone of br540 I think it’s way too female rather then unisex in the way fantasy is female. I don’t dislike it but I won’t wear it but would be good on a girl/ younger lady
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! I agree that it's not much of a clone. Nonetheless, if people are into gourmands, this would be a great scent to check out. Thanks for watching!
I bought it today and I'm ... disappointed? I don't find any sugar / fruity notes to it :(
Sorry about that
Try sweet like candy 🍬
If youre looking for a more fruity/sweeter scent try sweet like candy or moonlight. Sweet like candy is (as suggested) sweet. While moonlight is quite sweet with a hint of blackberries and vanilla
The baccarat rouge clone. Though I never recommended it. Always pay for the premium
Thanks for watching
This is super interesting but not only that but very special....it reminds of like a mixture of Mariah Carey Sweet Dreams and Kim Kardashian Pure Honey....and I never went back
Great review as always, but what is with the wonky autofocus?
Thanks. It's my phone.
Apparently this won Fragrance of the Year?
Yes! At the Fragrance Foundation Awards
Excellent review!
Thank you so much!
I love perfumes and have to say that Cloud was not my taste and did not think it smelled like BR. Cloud is way more synthetic, with a plastic scent and the coconut scent is overpowering.
Great video. So what is a good clone to 540?
Casino Royale by dua is supposed to be remarkably close. There is also Sunset in Heaven by Parfums Vintage which comes with a steeper price tag, but also quite a bit more juice. I cant recommend one over the other, never tried either, or even BR 540 , but all three are on my try list.
Dua casino royal nights is 1000% identical
I agree that both are very close.
Hey Steven, is it possible to do a summer night cologne list please? cheers!
I'd love to!
@@Redolessence thank you!! 😄
You're welcome!
When testing Cloud I felt a strong BR540 vibe :)
Thank you for sharing!
It is just me or I don't smell nothing that sweet, it is really exact dupe of Baccarat, to me Cloud has that same salty ambergris note, I get a wet salty stone feeling of this. Nothing like coconut at least. It is very alluring to me.
I have a sample of BR 540 and a 1.7 bottle of cloud. As an experiment i placed One on the right wrist one on the left. I had a group of friends and family smell and note the difference. The results I received were that the differences are extremely minimal to nonexistent. Hell both wrists smelled the exact same to me. This is the exact dupe and while some people may not like it and can note the differences, those who will argue to great lengths that they are in no way similar are being pretentious & eletist gatekeepers for an overhyped $300+ bottle of perfume.
Hello , I tell you that Cloud bored me so much so it is on my list of those that I will not buy again but I have Banana Republic Rosewood Amor and it is Cloud's economic dupe and there are several people who also persuade it
So a male can wear this? Thanks man I'll buy it. I wanted to ask if you would wear Rose tea edp.
It smells delicious. Anyone can wear it. I bought my boyfriend "Fresh Cream" by Philosophy and it is a super sweet fragrance, we both looooove it. (:
@@cristal7412 in which situation do you think a male can wear this? Just for reference
I would say so!
Impressive review very detailed
Thank you!
Well I really love this fragrance and really what to get it, know why? Cuz I am an arinator!
I’m gonna get it from FragranceX because only they deliver to my country
Thanks for the review, being a man, I preferred watching review of a man, because ya know, men are men, and can relate!
Great vid !
Well said! Wear it in good health!!!
Once this perfume dries down on your clothes it smells even more closer to the 540- try it!
Thanks for sharing!
The extrait is the superior version of the 540 and last longer projectile better.
Happy Birthday Steven
Thanks, Marcus!
I agree not a clone of baccarat i hate it when people in the frag com are trying to start a hype train that's just not worth it like you I was curious sampled it and I never got a baccarat feeling it smelled cheap and not even close I'm sorry but I have to be honest I respect your honesty 👌🏾
Thanks for watching!
