   I’ve been wearing Noa on and off for a few weeks now (1998). The base rests on Coffee and Vanilla — warm, grounded and easy to live with. The heart is the best part for me: Lily and Lily-of-the-Valley feel carefully balanced. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   A couple of wears in, Noa has really grown on me. Right away I get mostly White Musk alongside Peony, fresh and very easy to wear. That first spray gives a lovely White Musk/Peony impression that dries down smoothly. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   I’ve been wearing Noa on and off for a few weeks now (1998). That first spray gives a lovely White Musk/Peony impression that dries down smoothly. As it settles, Coffee and Vanilla come through and give it real depth. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I keep reaching for Noa more than I expected to. The very first sniff is crisp White Musk with Peony peeking through, very much my kind of start. The heart is the best part for me: Lily and Lily-of-the-Valley feel carefully balanced. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I wanted to like it more than I did.

   I have owned Noa for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. As it settles, Coffee and Vanilla come through and give it real depth. That first spray gives a lovely White Musk/Peony impression that dries down smoothly. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   A friend passed me a decant of Noa (1998) and I wasn’t prepared for it. That first spray gives a lovely White Musk/Peony impression that dries down smoothly. Right away I get mostly White Musk alongside Peony, fresh and very easy to wear. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

The base rests on Coffee and Vanilla — warm, grounded and easy to live with. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying.

   Everyone keeps talking about Noa, so I finally gave it a proper test. The very first sniff is crisp White Musk with Peony peeking through, very much my kind of start. The heart is the best part for me: Lily and Lily-of-the-Valley feel carefully balanced. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Noa. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lily with Lily-of-the-Valley, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Lily and Lily-of-the-Valley feel carefully balanced. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

    For a 1998 release, Noa deserves more attention than it gets. The drydown leans on Coffee plus Vanilla and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Right away I get mostly White Musk alongside Peony, fresh and very easy to wear. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Sadly this one does not work on my skin.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lily with Lily-of-the-Valley, which is where the fragrance really shines. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

Give it a little time and Lily with Lily-of-the-Valley comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. The composition is well made but not for me.

    Cacharel knows how to compose, and Noa (1998) is proof. The opening is built around White Musk and Peony — bright and immediately recognizable. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lily with Lily-of-the-Valley, which is where the fragrance really shines. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.
