First Impressions & Dry Down
Cloud Candy opens with a blast of spun sugar – a near-identical echo of Yum Pistachio Gelato. The marshmallow note is front and center, a fluffy, comforting sweetness that immediately evokes candied dreams. The heart introduces a creamy coconut that is more pronounced here than in the Kayali, giving it a slight tropical twist. Freesia peeks through, lending a delicate floral counterpoint. The base is a familiar blanket of vanilla and musk, softening the initial sugar rush. This clone captures approximately 92% of the original's DNA. The slightly sharper opening and amplified coconut mark the key differences.
To Buy or Not to Buy?
Cloud Candy is for the woman who embraces her playful side. She's confident, radiates warmth, and isn't afraid to be a little extra. Think Ariana Grande concert meets cozy cabin vibes. If you adore the DNA of Yum Pistachio Gelato but can’t justify the price tag, this is a stellar alternative. The subtle synthetic edge is noticeable up close, but in the air, it's a minor quibble. The original might have a smoother, more refined character, but Snag this, spray with abandon, and let your sweet spirit shine.
How Long Does it Last?
The projection is moderate, creating a sweet, personal bubble for the first 2-3 hours. It then settles closer to the skin, lingering as a soft, musky vanilla for another 4-5 hours. Not beast mode by any means, but respectable point. Expect about 6-8 hours total longevity.
