Cacharel - Noa - Eau de Toilette Women's Perfume - Long Lasting, Zen Fragrance for Every Occasion

Product Information

Also, yes, Noa is more “feminine” but please wear what you like and what suits your tastes and mood, don’t worry about the associations or what others think. 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.

I keep getting distinct whiffs of baby wipes; as a rose lover, this is often a risk but usually doesn't bother me as much as it does with Noa.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. This one here is possibly the most airy yet fresh floral that I've ever smelled from the 90's, and maybe even since then tbh. It is absolutely amazing to me that the human mind is capable of keeping memories of scents for such a long time. The intense heart is a beautiful mix of green grass, lily, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, ylang-ylang and rose while the woody base consists of coriander, sandalwood, Tonka bean, vanilla, coffee, incense and cedar.

The design of the bottle is very subtle and careful, and the small spray-top fits a woman's fingertip well. For anybody like me, who "hates peach" in perfumes; well I just don't smell peach (per se) in this at all. It also reminds me of my great-grandma who passed away in the 90s, so I will keep it even if I won’t wear it. Noa is a very nostalgic scent for me, as it reminds me of watching my older female cousins apply makeup.simple, clean, comforting and inoffensive but doesn't smell like straight up soap either – more like a very clean, sophisticated and innocent angel wearing a luxurious lotion and a freshly washed silk robe lol.
