Cloud 9 Juice is a unisex fragrance by Raconteur, released in 2023.
This eau de parfum has a distinctive character and a very powerful sillage, created for those who enjoy noticeable, cool and unusual compositions.
The Australian brand Raconteur specializes in unisex eau de parfums.
Cloud 9 Juice fits this concept perfectly: it does not try to emphasize traditional “femininity” or “masculinity”, but instead explores a sense of cleanliness, airiness and natural freshness.
Cloud 9 Juice is built around a contrast between juicy fruity nuances, cool greenery, mineral transparency and a dry woody base.
Watermelon and cucumber create the effect of crisp, watery freshness, lemon adds a sparkling citrus accent, while sea salt intensifies the sensation of cool air near the water.
By fragrance family, it belongs to the floral, fruity, green and mineral categories.
The composition also reveals aromatic, citrus, white-floral and woody accents, making its fresh profile layered rather than a simple fruity accord.
The top, middle and base notes have not been officially specified for this release, so it is more accurate to experience it as a cohesive composition with nuances that gradually evolve.
At the opening, it is easy to imagine a cool duo of cucumber and watermelon, illuminated by lemon and a salty mineral nuance.
As the fragrance unfolds, its green and aromatic facets become deeper: shiso adds a spicy, herbaceous quality, cypress introduces a clean resinous-woody line, and sambac jasmine softens the freshness with a delicate white-floral tone.
In the drydown, cedar gives the fragrance focus and a dry structure while preserving its light, airy mood.
Cloud 9 Juice is suitable for women and men who choose fresh fragrances with a noticeable presence and an unconventional presentation.
It may especially appeal to fans of green, watery, citrus and mineral compositions who want to move beyond predictable aquatic formulas.
Its very powerful sillage makes this fragrance a striking choice for open spaces, walks, leisure and situations when the scent should leave a lasting impression.
For the office or a small room, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and evaluate how it develops on the skin.
To explore a similar direction, consider Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia.
Dior Addict Shine and Christine Lavoisier Parfums Life Sence can also be included in the comparison, although Cloud 9 Juice stands out with its combination of cucumber, watermelon, sea salt, shiso and woody notes.
No information is available about other concentrations of this fragrance, its perfumer or the recommended amount to apply to skin or clothing.
Therefore, when trying it, it is best to apply a small amount to the skin and observe how its fresh, green and woody nuances evolve throughout your day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The database does not distinguish between separate top, middle, and base notes for Cloud 9 Juice, so the composition is presented as a blended group of accords.
It includes cedar, cucumber, cypress, sambac jasmine, lemon, sea salt, shiso, and watermelon.
Cucumber and watermelon create a juicy, watery impression, while lemon adds citrusy brightness and sea salt contributes a cool mineral nuance.
Shiso brings green aromatic depth, sambac jasmine softens the composition with a white-floral nuance, while cypress and cedar bring it together in a dry woody accord.
