Our Full Review
Cloud Nine is Fussy’s everyday essential - a fresh, clean scent that’s sophisticated enough to be interesting but subtle enough to wear anywhere.
The Scent Experience
The cotton note is immediate - that clean, just-washed-laundry freshness. But sandalwood and vetiver add warmth and depth, elevating this from basic “fresh” to genuinely interesting. It’s like your favourite shirt fresh from the dryer, but better.
Performance
- Everyday wear: Perfect. This suits any situation.
- Professional settings: Office-appropriate without being boring
- Longevity: Good staying power for a fresh scent
Which Fussy formulation this is
Fussy sells two deodorant formulations. Its FAQ says of bicarbonate of soda: “Our Normal formula does but we use much smaller amounts than others plus a very high grade”, and “We also have a Sensitive formula, which doesn’t contain bicarb.” On Fussy’s ingredients page, Sodium Bicarbonate is listed under the Normal formula only. The Sensitive formula adds Glyceryl Caprylate and Arrowroot Powder, and Fussy says of the first: “Glyceryl Caprylate is from the coconut, and replaces the baking soda used in our regular formula.” Every other highlighted ingredient, Tapioca Starch included, appears on both lists.
Fussy sells this scent in both formulations, and this review does not establish which one it describes. Both refill at 40g and the scent name is identical either way, so nothing on the listing distinguishes them for you. If you react to bicarbonate of soda, use the Normal / Sensitive filter on Fussy’s refill page rather than choosing by scent name. This review is based on published specifications, not on wear testing. Cloud Nine is the scent Fussy ships in its own Sensitive Skin Starter Pack, so the same scent name covers both a bicarb and a bicarb-free product.
Final Thoughts
Cloud Nine is the perfect “everyday” option - universally appealing, sophisticated, and reliably excellent.
