What does Cloud Illusions smell like?

It reads as a single piece: iris and orris butter build a floral, powdery base, while American peppermint keeps it fresh and green. Chewing gum absolute and northern highbush blueberry absolute bring the sweetness, blue cypress and Hawaiian sandalwood draw a woody frame, and musk and white ambergris soften everything.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room, though the number of votes is small and these ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike. Folkwinds Love's Illusions III and Folkwinds Love's Illusion have a close profile.
