Drake Cloud AR
In the ever-expanding universe of celebrity fragrances, Drake's Better World Fragrance House (BWFH) has carved a niche for itself by delivering scents that feel both personal and universal. With Cloud AR, released in 2025, the brand steps into a new realm of olfactory sophistication. This is not a fleeting celebrity cash-grab; it is a meticulously crafted eau de parfum that demands attention and rewards patience.
From the first spritz, Cloud AR announces itself with a crystalline burst of ginger and mandarin, a zesty overture that quickly gives way to a heart of aromatic clary sage and delicate florals. The base is where the magic truly unfolds—a creamy, woody embrace of tonka bean, Haitian vetiver, and Atlas cedar. It is a fragrance that feels both grounded and ethereal, perfect for the modern individual who values versatility and elegance.
Perfumer Michael Carby of Givaudan has created a scent that bridges the gap between fresh and spicy, green and creamy. It is a unisex composition that performs beautifully across seasons, making it a worthy addition to any collection. In this review, we will dissect every layer of Cloud AR, from its top notes to its lasting impression, and help you decide if this is the next signature scent you've been searching for.
