A journey that begins even before you spray it on - my signature fragrance
Years ago, I encountered this fragrance in the form of a sample that was provided to me. Apparently, however, the souk partner had made the mistake of not mixing the molecules or ingredients before taking it out, so my initial reaction at the time was: "cool ice mint, yawn", but as I generally like the concept very much, I took the opportunity a few months later and tested it again. The retailer informed me that I should first shake the bottle for 4 seconds and only then spray it on. No sooner said than done. What can I say: it was love at second sight!
Completely different nuances and notes were revealed to me, which continue to captivate me to this day and trigger the associated feeling that I am calibrated, fresh, grounded and that the day will be mine :)
Cloud Collection No. 2 is not a perfume, but an experience that begins even before it is applied. The separated molecules float through the bottle, I look at them and shake. The liquid, which is no longer transparent, becomes a milky, cloudy compound, which I then apply to my skin and clothes. Stormy coasts, cool forests, icy mountains - I associate all of this with the opening of this great fragrance. A sauna infusion, wellness, ice mint combined with Scandinavian woods and aquatic notes are the associations that follow and last for a very long time. When I apply No. 2 early in the morning, it conjures up this "feel-good freshness factor" in my nose again and again throughout the day and even late in the evening I still catch elements of this unique, unmistakable DNA.
There was once a situation when I was on a business trip and opened my suitcase at the hotel in the evening, which contained a worn sweater that I had soaked in Zarko the week before during another business trip and had obviously not been washed by mistake. When I took it out, I could immediately detect the nuances of this fragrance (very subtle, but still clearly recognizable). Still fresh (as if it had been taken out of the cupboard and washed) and, more importantly, identical to the opening. Do you know perfumes that suggest something at the opening that then goes in a completely controversial direction over time? This is precisely not the case with Cloud No. 2. What remains is what is announced at the beginning. Very unique for me personally.
I wear the cloud at home, at work, at the outdoor pool and in the evening in a restaurant with a delicious meal and a good glass of red wine. This fragrance always works, even my children can smell it, which is a real challenge. It is cooling in summer and refreshing in winter. An all-rounder.
Don't get me wrong: this fragrance doesn't make you smell sexy, seductive or wealthy, nor is it a compliment-getter, even if this does happen occasionally, but as I mentioned at the beginning, it makes you look calibrated, down-to-earth and with both feet on the ground. Never pushy, never arrogant, but always clean and pure. That may also be sexy at times.
I don't own many perfumes, but really only those that I can wear over a longer period of time and use regularly. The Layton is my first choice when we have business events (exhibitions, lectures, etc.), I've only owned the Guerlain Musc Outreblanc for 1 week after I received a sample from a nice perfumo here (thank you so much!!!) and was immediately thrilled and had to buy it, I also like to use On the Beach and California Dream regularly. Imagination, which I think is completely overrated, just sits around. Compared to Zarkoperfume, it is simply too banal, simple-minded and meaningless. Of all the candidates mentioned, Cloud No. 2 is by far the fragrance I wear the most and have never given up on. When it comes to fragrances, I like it uncomplicated and fresh. That's exactly what Cloud No.2 offers
In my eyes, this perfume is massively underrated and misunderstood.
Definitely try it and don't forget to shake it vigorously beforehand :)
