What does Above the Clouds smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further back. Daily wear, the office and leisure lead, while night and evening rarely come up. Most voters read it as feminine, though many call it modern.

Rose and cotton give it a clean, soft floral frame, and musk settles it onto a creamy, powdery base. Amber adds a little sweetness, while pink pepper lends a light spark. The overall impression is fresh and sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge. Narciso Rodriguez For Her Fleur Musc and Montale Roses Musk have a close profile.
