Nouf

Nouf by Swiss Arabian presents a clean, aromatic profile centered around citrus, pepper, and woody accords, evoking a fresh, spicy, and slightly synthetic ambiance. The opening features bright bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit, layered with a peppery heart that gives it a dry, aromatic character. Over time, it settles into a woody base of cedar and palisander rosewood, with a subtle amber reinforcement. While some describe it as simplistic or underwhelming—comparing it to laundry detergent or generic clean scents—others emphasize its lasting presence and assertive sillage, especially at night. Multiple users note a powdery or floral facet, likely due to sweet, synthetic blends that depart from the official notes. The fragrance is widely considered unisex and well-suited for spring and summer. It leans slightly feminine for some, though its sharp, scratchy undertone may alienate those with sensitive noses.
