This is the Grande's first perfume to have a different shape, a cloud, rather than the faceted sphere with a pom pom the previous ones had.

The major differences overall are with the improved longevity and aura; Cloud Intense wears several hours longer than the original Cloud does [the 8 to 10 hour range], and it doesn't go close to the skin like the original does. After I embarked on a niche perfume journey, I would have never expected myself going back to designer perfumes again. The lavender is very pronounced on my skin as well… but there is a nice rich creaminess underneath it all that makes me keep smelling my wrists.It just smells so creamy and it has this medicinal scent that I personally really like, especially how it combines with the creamier notes such as whipped cream and coconut. Better juice, better sillage, better projection and better longevity, it will never leave my collection and I think it is really beautiful. I can not feel a hidden splash of bergamot and noticeable lavender, it’s straight up milk chocolate candies, whipped cream, soft woods and wearable musk. for sure it's a bit heavier and has a stronger silage than the original but more importantly it has a stronger emphasis on the woody notes. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.

It's also the coldness in Cloud that keeps it from becoming overbearing in the heat and humidity of a Florida Summer. Cloud has a more plastic opening however because it is sharper, I am able to smell it a bit better and I find it projects better in the air.I guess for the people saying it's the same must be because of body chemistry differences because it's not the same as Cloud on my skin. I’m not good at naming notes, so I’ll just say I Love it sooooo much and yes to me it’s a great option for those of us without the cash for BR540.

I'd had positive memories of the last time I wore Cloud, but I think landed on the idea that it ultimately wasn't for me. The whipped cream is more prominent here and it rounds off the scent, giving it a slightly more gourmand feel in comparison to the original fresh feel.I personally pick up on extra coconut note which then blends beautifully with the whipped cream and cashmere notes. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. I keep Intense for the colder days, and the OG for the warmer ones, both enhanced with the body mist when I want to reactivate the cloud around me. Moon Flower is a beautiful scent, it has dreamy floral notes and gentle fruit notes, perfect for a Sunny day.

My girlfriend claims that this is just my "scent" as the first time I had her smell it she said, well it smells great, but honestly, it smells like your skin, LOL. The toned-down heart notes of crème de coconut, praline, and vanilla orchid are sure to bring your nose a heavenly scent.These areas radiate the most heat and include: in between elbows; behind ears; behind knees and the lower back. I held off on this one for a while because I didn't like the original Cloud (kind of, sort of like it now though) and don't like lavender.
