R.E.M Eau de Parfum vs Cloud Body Mist
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
R.E.M. is a divisive, quirky lavender gourmand that manages to be both sweet and salty. While many find it comforting and unique, some struggle with its unusual blend, likening it to anything from laundry detergent to an old aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This body mist is as divisive as they come. Many find it disappears instantly or smells solely of alcohol, while others champion its softer, sheer take on the original Cloud EDP. Don't expect a power player; this is for those who appreciate subtlety, or for careful layering.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique, comforting blend make it suitable for casual wear or dates where closeness is desired. While some find it office-appropriate due to its non-offensive nature, its distinct personality and occasional 'masculine' leaning might make it less ideal for formal settings or sports.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its generally weak performance and light, sweet accords make it suitable for casual wear or after-gym freshness, rather than formal events. Reviewers mention its suitability as a subtle scent that won't overwhelm an office environment, but it lacks the oomph for a date night power play.
