Cotton Candy Clouds is a light, sweet gourmand fragrance that evokes the nostalgic scent of a county fair — soft spun sugar, vanilla, and a hint of red berries. It opens with a powdery, sugary front that feels slightly synthetic to some, with a faint 'wet plastic' note in the dry down. The scent is not strong on the skin, remaining intimate and fleeting, with most users noting it lasts less than an hour on skin. However, it lingers well on clothing, making it ideal for layering. While many users describe it as a precise match for cotton candy, some find it underwhelming, more like fresh laundry or a chewable medication rather than a true candy-forward scent. The scent is perceived as unisex, though voted overwhelmingly female, and is commonly worn during daytime hours in summer. It’s not a bold or long-lasting perfume, but rather a whimsical, comforting addition that appeals most to those who enjoy light, sweet, gourmand scents.
