Launched in 2018 by Ariana Grande, Cloud quickly became a cultural phenomenon through its viral presence on TikTok as an affordable alternative to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540. Created by perfumer Clement Gavarry, this fragrance opens with the fresh brightness of bergamot and pear before diving into the rich gourmand notes of whipped cream, praline, vanilla orchid, and musk. The composition is a warm embrace, evoking comfort and indulgence. It has since been named Fragrance of the Year by the Fragrance Foundation in 2019, cementing its status as Ariana Grande’s top-selling scent.

Application Tips
Cloud's gourmand notes bloom best close to skin, so apply it directly to pulse points like your wrists or neck. The rich base of musk and vanilla orchid develops slowly over time, making this fragrance ideal for daytime wear when you want a warm, comforting scent.
