Noa L'Eau de Parfum
by Cacharel
Noa L'Eau de Parfum is a quiet, soft woody oriental with a powdery and musky character, evoking vintage soap and skin-toned elegance. It opens with a subtle fruity freshness from peach and plum, quickly giving way to a refined blend of iris, sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli, with oakmoss providing earthy depth. The overall impression is more cool and delicate than floral or sweet — some describe it as unexpectedly masculine or androgynous, while others find it reminiscent of an aristocratic lady with modern refinement. Its strength lies in its subtle presence: long-lasting on skin and clothing, it lingers gently with a bittersweet undercurrent of crushed leaves and clean musk, making it most fitting for spring and summer. While sillage is moderate to intimate, it tends to be noticeable enough to attract compliments, especially from people who appreciate unique, understated scents.
