Dream Moon

i'm not a sophisticated perfume person, so take this with a grain of salt lol i've been wearing this perfume every fall & winter since december of 2021 and it has never failed me. in an initial spray you can definitely pick up on the spicy & woodiness, and when it dries down the florals come through really nicely. it's light and powdery after a while, but also has a hint of sweetness. it's subtle and it smells lovely and i adore it in the bitter coldness, it's gives a sense of comforting nostalgia to me to memories from when i first started wearing this perfume. a lot of people say it's similar to popular scents, which i'm not sure of but to me this doesn't really smell like cloud, i have yet to smell baccarat rouge 540 though. the longevity is pretty decent, it usually lasts an entire school day for me and sometimes an extra 2-3 hours. some people seem to complain that it lasts like a body spray but maybe i just put too much on lol overall, this has become a signature scent to me for the winter. to me, it's a little too cloying for the 100 degree summers we have, but in the fall, winter & spring it's to die for!

To my nose, so similar to Ariana Grande Cloud! I'd have to spray them side-by-side to tell the difference. There's something about both fragrances that don't work perfectly with my body chemistry, but I enjoy the scent on clothing. I may lean towards this one slightly *because* of the shorter lasting time. When I spray Cloud on clothing it lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Sometimes I like something that fades into the background a little more quietly as the day goes on. Still can't get over how Cloud-like it is... it makes me excited to try the other fragrances in the line.

The first time I tested this in store, it smelled exactly like my first impression of Cloud: fluffy, sugary cotton candy. Loved it and bought it. Since then, I either have a bad bottle or go instantly nose blind to the cotton candy scent. I have the same problem with Cloud, but I can usually smell Cloud for a few minutes if I spray far enough away from my nose. With this one, I never get a single whiff of the cotton candy. Instead it's straight sandalwood and rose, like its notes suggest.

This perfume is sooo good! I cannot stop smelling it every time I wear it. Its like I take a deep whiff and either say or think "Oh wow, that is GOOD" (depending on if anyone is around me, hahaha!) It is very similar to Cloud, but I like this one a bit better, its not as sweet and is more woody. I love that woody dry down! Upon first application its sweet, like a thick cotton candy and its also a little medicinal. This lasts about 3-4 hours on my skin, and all day on my clothes. I dont smell rose or patchouli, but those 3 notes work together so beautifully! Well done Pacifica!

I strongly dislike cloud, I feel pretty meh about BR540, but I LOVE this. I dont know why. Smelling BR540 and this side by side, I can tell that BR540 is smoother and more sophisticated but I can't stop reaching for this. Cloud leans too plasticky and cheap for me, but this smells genuinely nice. I wear it daily. This one smells like cotton candy with the edge of woodiness that BR540 has, but minus the weird hospital note (BR540 reminds me of topical dental anesthetic for some reason while this one does not)
