Amicus Cumulus is an aromatic fruity fragrance created by Alie Kiral. On certain spring mornings, step outside, and you may notice the clouds showing off for you. You are present, happy, and alive. I have always believed that a beautiful sky in the morning is a good omen for the day. Clouds look soft, fluffy, and amorphous, yet they also contain a mighty side. This is a fragrance about being in tune with the world around you - turning soft, remembering your power. Amicus Cumulus is an ozonic breezy green fragrance with notes of sweet black licorice, fresh strawberries and milky Oolong tea. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
PEARFAT PARFUM AMICUS CUMULUS REVIEWS
Fragrantica: This is so so lovely .. reminds me of spring before all the flowers get started up; not so much the dirt but yes the cold air — but there’s some warmth too, probably from from the tea. I think the cold smell is the licorice root— it’s prominent for the first hour or so and then fades back into a creamy, kind of fresh smell. i suspect it’ll shine even more when the weather gets just a liiiiitle bit warmer (i’m only asking for low 50s) but i like it now too.
Fragrantica: This is my first purchase from Pearfat and I’m off to a strong start. This scent opens very green and a little pungent, like loam and rhubarb. It invokes fresh green sprouts more than a candy strawberry, and the licorice is smartingly sharp and anise-y. It pretty quickly mellows into a sweeter, juicier true strawberry while maintaining a strong green, herby undertone. For me the milk oolong is very subtle, maybe a touch of bitterness and creaminess like dregs at the bottom of the tea cup. Blooms beautifully on skin, and very unique and captivating.
Fragrantica: This is a super interesting fragrance, it’s unlike anything I’ve smelled before. I have a hard time describing it. It’s a sweet, airy, almost milky, with a slight spice to it. It starts a bit more bright, and airy with the licorice and strawberry, and warms up as time goes on to a sweet, milky oolong. Milk oolong is my favorite tea, this reminds me of drinking a good cup.
Fragrantica: It smells like rain clouds, absolutely. Other scents I’ve tried have attempted humidity, fog, etc, but none managed convince my stubborn nose. I agree, more of a city pavement rain than the country. When it first opens it smells a bit like an old school powder laundry detergent. The laundry suds fade after a few minutes and the clouds roll in. I agree with the other reviewer who said it also has a “pool chlorine” type of scent too further in, as the sweetness emerges. I wouldn’t consider this a very sweet fragrance overall, definitely not gourmand. It has a slightly sweet strawberry fruity base that keeps it smelling good, opposed to smelling like chemicals or something unwearable. The strawberry isn’t loud or obvious. Overall the fragrance comes off as ozonic, aquatic, fresh-green, slightly spicy, with a light fruity sweet base. Ultimately gives a unique summer skin fresh from swimming or playing in a garden sprinkler vibe different from any other fragrances I’ve smelled. Usually scents like this vanish on my skin in record time. This surprisingly lasts though it is a bit more soft/intimate. I now officially want a bottle. This would be perfect for spring and summer days when I need a bit of a cool down/refresher. I love it, but I will recommend people test before buying as it is a bit strange and lacks anything mainstream designer or fruity gourmand that is popular nowadays. Truly unique! Update: I couldn’t stop thinking about how this scent reminded me of Chicago during rain storms, which is where I spent the first 26 years of my life. I then read that the designer is Chicago based. I wish I could give extra points to this scent for so accurately capturing the (frequent, if you live there) scent of clouds rolling in and drizzling on the city pavement, a scent I often long for now that I live in a dry California desert sandbox. Definitely will be ordering a FB as soon as I can!
Fragrantica: Another win from Pearfat. All of the fruity fragrances I've tried from their line have had a fresh, sticky, candied body to them without being overly sweet, and Amicus Cumulus is no exception. The opening is anise-heavy, but it quickly melts into a drizzly, eerie strawberry-oolong heart. The character almost reminds me of sugar-free strawberry boba tea: robust and flavorful, milky with a hint of spice, but not sugary. This is a fun one. I can see this being incredible to wear in the Spring, or on a rainy day.
Fragrantica: The summer has just begun as you meet up with your friends after school to go run around and play basketball, go to the pool, and do dumb stuff. It’s the first day and the freeing feeling you have will never be the same after today. After awhile you make it back to your friends house where his mom made you one of the best midwestern summer treats ever: whipped cream and strawberries. It’s too early for the strawberries to be really good so they smell very green and almost vegetal off the first spray. The licorice and oolong making this light and fluffy cream below it as support in the beginning but regaining harmony as it begins to dry down. This is NOT a gourmand. This is NOT a green fragrance. It is is somehow BOTH. I think if you are at all interested in niche or weird fragrances, you gotta get your nose on this. This is such a unique combo of notes and the subsequent accords that I can’t recommend this enough; even just to try it. Ultra unisex, it rides more green on me at first but it’s entirely chemistry dependent.
Fragrantica: the smell of summer. opens with the ozonic notes reminiscent of the tall fluffy clouds in the name. Then tea like parched grass. On me those faded pretty quickly and I am left with chlorine, sunscreen, and melting popsicles. I have been wearing it 15min now and it has been getting sweeter the whole time. I normally can't stand licorice or gourmands, but I am loving this experience and it does not smell like food.
