About this deal

My friend wore this and it smelled beautiful on her ,I so wanted to love this but on my skin its too sharp and has a strangeness to it . A drawing of a Picasso dove and a love letter scrawled on the mirror with a cake of luxe soap -- that dull-squeaky, wet-chalky sound. It smells very alcohol-like when I first spray it and as the scent develops I start to notice a urine-note which is revolting, but the awful note doesn't last long, it slowly develops into green notes and then I can mostly detect a sharp musk. These two notes on paper should make me run for hills only reading them in a note lists and I can say that most perfumes with these two notes give me a big headache and general discomfort.

For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. It's not just fresh linen, it's what I wish every 'fresh linen' candle, air freshener, etc would actually smell like rather than the sharp detergent smell we all know. com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission. I remember sitting on my mother's desk as I was a child and it makes you have a familiar feeling even if you never smelled it before. A feminine and subtle fragrance, that discreetly packs a punch; Noa has a delightful scent of flowers, delicate spices, velvety fruit and the energising power of coffee beans.

It is quite weak, even for an EDT, but is a pretty, subtle, feminine day scent with some interesting points to note.

I remember very well this perfume, or rather, the bottle and the campaign in the glossy magazines of the nineties. For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you. As time goes by, the scent becomes warmer and develops just the tiniest hint of sweetness on my skin, perhaps due to the vanilla, but it remains icey and fresh at the core which could be due to the woody notes or the musk. I remember very clearly my visits to the dentists as a child in the 90s, where they would have magazines, like Harpers Bazaar and Marie Claire, in the waiting area and they had fragranced ad pages.It's definitely a "perfumey" scent and not a true skin-scent, but wearing it makes you smell more like you are wearing a delicately perfumed lotion than a perfume. Wearing your comfiest slippers while sipping your favorite coffee, looking out the window getting ready to go out for a nice relaxing walk with the doggo. I don't have a nose to pick out notes, but I can tell you this one smells like you've walked into a garden after a heavy rain. To my tremendous surprise, it smelled very much like the pre-2019 version or to my memory of it at least. Otherwise, it would be a perfume I love, because I love powdery perfumes, I just couldn't get over the foul drydown.

The funny thing is, if you pay attention to it, you can really smell the coffee smell, there are freesias on the table. It lasts half an hour but it costs a tenth of what I usually spend on a bottle so I don't mind showering in it every time I'm in the mood for it! Maybe I'm not as attuned to the nuances of the scent because it's been a while since I last smelled it or maybe what I smelled two and a half years ago was an interim version that has since been refined. The opening is not my favorite, it smells like sampaguita which is arabian jasmin, but after less than 5 minutes it turns into the soapy powdery skin scent. I tend to hate perfumes that go too powdery, and certain floral notes give me a headache-- not the case with this.

Okay hear me out- I don't know if I got a defective one or what it may be, but my initial reaction was "oh, this is gorgeous, my new favorite sce- wait is that goat poop? Longevity is nonexistent though, it was gone by the time I landed, and Eden was still just unfolding on my other wrist. This fragrance is just pure white musk and florals to me, was kinda disappointed when I couldn't smell any of the coffee, incense or vanilla - those notes were the main reason why I bought it, but I really should've known when so many reviews mention how it's soapy and powdery. Noa Eau de Toilette embodies happiness and serenity and is designed to make you feel calm and happy. It’s a warm spring day today so I decided to revisit this perfume, and I find that it smells a little warmer and a bit like paper with some harsh green notes in the background.

Like its countless pearl reflexes, Noa carries us on a rainbow of sensations: crunchy coriander, feminine peony, rich white musks… It’s more than a fragrance, it’s a concept of happiness. Lasts decently on my skin (got around 6 hours), seems perfect to run errands as an after shower scent or just on one of those days where you want to smell just clean. It’s beautiful ❤️ This is tranquil, cozy and soft, especially for the fall season we're about to head into. And to be honest I can’t pick out a single note other than musk, flowers (but not one in particular), and the base minus the coffee (don’t get it at all).While that concept in itself could be interesting, any campy 80’s, innocent, vanilla ‘My Little Pony’ playfulness is not my first association. I have the little bottle but I'm going to have to purchase the big one since I can't get enough of it. I am not sure which formula, original or reformulated I have as I got it as a sample in a trade I did recently. I adored it, and remember loving all the different stages of it, from the top notes in the very first minutes, all the way to the dry-down and even the lingering leftovers the next morning. Close to the wrist, there is a definite but gentle coffee note, but the sillage wafting around me is the most beautiful flowers.
