Sorce The Light Through Clouds is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Caitlin Hayes. The Light Through Clouds settles into a heart of Water Lily, Balsam, Candied Lemon, and Musk. Sorce's The Light Through Clouds carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a clean, uplifting citrus-musk that's pretty, but divisive. If you don't mind a softer sillage, it's a 'quiet luxury' dream, but several found it too sweet or even headache-inducing. Test first to avoid disappointment.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character makes it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While not quite bold enough for a formal event, its gentle sillage and comforting quality suit low-key dates and everyday activities perfectly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine candied lemon and bright mandarin giving way to an aquatic water lily, all suspended in a delicate musky, ambery haze. It's a fresh, airy experience, subtly spiced with a hint of Sichuan pepper and grounded by gentle vetiver and sandalwood, evoking sun-dappled serenity. White tea adds a calming, refined touch throughout.
