Volare Perfume Guide for Selangor: Above the Clouds vs Reload Gold

Looking for a daily perfume in Selangor and keeping an eye on Volare? This guide is for you. Both fragrances below are men's EDPs in 100 ml bottles, and both are meant for everyday wear — but they're nothing alike once you smell them. One goes fresh and aquatic, the other goes warm and spicy. Let's break down which one fits your days.

Above the Clouds: Fresh, Citrusy and Aquatic

Above the Clouds by Volare is a crisp men's EDP. It opens with bright citrus — bergamot, lemon and grapefruit — then lifts into a heart of marine accord and ozone, with lavender and clary sage in the mix. The base is cedarwood, musk and an ambergris accord, which the store description says gives smooth depth without heaviness.

• Top: bergamot, lemon, grapefruit
• Heart: marine accord, ozone, lavender, clary sage
• Base: cedarwood, musk, ambergris accord

According to the store description, this one suits daily wear, hot weather, gym, travel and office. If your week looks like driving through Shah Alam traffic, sitting in an air-conditioned office and squeezing in a gym session, that's exactly the picture it's painted for. It's also listed for casual, formal and special occasions, so it's not stuck in one lane.

Reload Gold: Warm Spices and Woody Amber

Reload Gold by Volare Man sits on the other side of the shelf. It opens with warm citrus and smooth spices, moves into a woody amber heart with soft aromatics, and finishes on musk, sandalwood and golden amber. The store description calls it a bold, confident masculine fragrance.

• Top: warm citrus, smooth spices
• Heart: woody amber, soft aromatics
• Base: musk, sandalwood, golden amber

Its occasions cover everyday, casual, formal and special occasions too, and the description specifically mentions office wear, evening outings and formal events. So if your day starts at the desk and rolls into dinner or an event later, this is the direction it points to.

Which One Should You Pick?

On paper, it's a close call: both are 100 ml men's EDPs, and both cover everyday, casual, formal and special occasions. The real difference is the mood of the scent.

Above the Clouds is the fresh, aquatic option — the description highlights hot weather, the gym, travel and office, which lines up nicely with Selangor's heat and humidity. Reload Gold is the warm one, built on spices and woody amber, so it leans more towards office-to-evening wear.

The simplest way to decide: if you want something crisp and cooling for daytime, go with Above the Clouds. If you want something warmer with more depth for days that end at dinner or a meeting, Reload Gold is your pick. Either way, you're choosing between two very different takes on a daily men's fragrance from the same brand.
