Which Should You Buy?
Cloud is a crowd-pleasing, airy gourmand with a whipped cream and coconut heart that feels both comforting and flirty. Its sweet, milky character is easy to love and surprisingly versatile.
No. 990 chases Ariana Grande's Cloud lavender-praline-coconut gourmand closely on the opening, but the musk-vanilla base fades faster and reads flatter than the original's plush, addictive sweetness.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The creamy sweetness and lactonic warmth of Cloud make it ideal for fall and winter, while its airy fruity opening and musky base allow for comfortable wear in spring. It may feel too heavy for hot summer days.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and inviting sweetness make it perfect for dates and casual outings. It is playful for daily wear but can be cloying in formal or athletic contexts.
Seasons
A soft, sweet lavender-gourmand suited to cooler, cosy-weather wear; the light musk base can feel underwhelming in summer.
Occasions
Best suited to casual, everyday wear where a soft, comforting sweetness is wanted rather than formal or high-projection settings.
