Opal Drip
by KKW Fragrance
Opal Drip offers a soft, dewy, and earthy interpretation of the popular Cloud/Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance family. It opens with a crisp, zesty citrus and green lavender that feels fresh and airy, like a cool morning mist. The heart features a delicate blend of jasmine, water lily, and tagetes, creating a light, floral aquatic tone. The dry down reveals a subtle, sweet muskiness with oakmoss, amber, and a hint of sugared earthiness, giving the fragrance a grounding, slightly woody and mossy character. While it shares a DNA with Ariana Grande’s Cloud—especially in its powdery sweetness and gourmand foundation—it feels cooler, more discreet, and less syrupy, with a more complex, herbal nuance that sets it apart. It wears close to the skin, offering a calming, skin-scent quality that lingers gently rather than projecting strongly.
Pros
- +Fresh, balanced opening with citrus and green lavender notes that feel airy and natural
- +Mossy, earthy dry down with musk and subtle sweetness that provides depth without heaviness
- +A more nuanced and better-balanced alternative to Cloud, especially for those who find Cloud overly sweet or synthetic
Cons
- −Weak longevity and sillage make it best for layered or intimate wear
- −Less projection means it's not ideal for those seeking a bold or long-lasting scent
- −Minor metallic or sharp edges in dry down on some skins, which may be off-putting due to its complexity
