Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2026, Cloud Dancer, invites us to rediscover the power of white: an ethereal, soft and expansive shade that brings calm, clarity and an open space for creativity to breathe.
This elevated white shade, described by Pantone as a symbol of serenity in a society once again valuing quiet reflection, offers a sense of purity and lightness that inspires wellbeing and focus.
At CPL Aromas, we immediately recognise Cloud Dancer in some of the most renowned ingredients on our palette. White florals, bright fruits, soft musks and comforting accords all echo this same aesthetic of softness and balance. These notes form the foundation of fragrances designed to create atmospheres of luminosity, spaciousness and sensory calm.
Cloud Dancer is more than a colour: it is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and allow imagination to find new directions. Its expansive presence allows function and feeling to coexist, creating visual and olfactory environments where serenity takes centre stage. As Pantone explains, this versatile white acts as a structural colour, able to adapt, harmonise and offer elegant contrast, allowing other shades, and in our fragrance world, other ingredients, to shine even more brightly.
In a sector where creativity is essential, Cloud Dancer offers the perfect canvas. Within our fragrances, it inspires compositions that balance lightness with depth, modernity with timelessness, innovation with simplicity. It is a reminder that sometimes the purest and quietest elements can be the most transformative.
In 2026, we celebrate the power of white, and its ability to inspire new olfactory stories, with Cloud Dancer as our guide.
