Cloud Illusions, from Folkwinds was released in 2022. The perfumer behind this creation is Jono Bornstein. The notes are Ambergris, Blueberry, Bubble Gum, Cypress, Iris, Mint, Musk, Sandalwood.
Cloud Illusions has one of the strangest note breakdowns I’ve come across, everything seems so random and out of place, and yet it weirdly works in the most spectacular way. I’m no lover of mint fragrances, in fact I usually hate them, but this is a brilliant creation. The mint is definitely prominent - it’s green and bitter with a slight toothpastey feel to it, but it’s sweetened and smoothed out by this incredible bubblegum accord. It really makes the scent feel thick, rubbery and chewy whilst the sweetness is elevated by salty ambergris, blueberries and a touch of Iris. The mint is then furthered by an aromatic whisper of earthy cypress to give it some edge. This is such a unique creation, and an absolutely phenomenal scent. I can’t picture when I’d wear this but it’s not like I’m going to own it anyway what with it being so damn expensive. I’ll enjoy and savour the small sample I have.
