Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noa EDP
This 90s staple is divisive, with some finding it a comforting, clean skin scent reminiscent of Nivea or Dove, while others get a musty, baby-wipe, or even 'poopy' note. It's a subtle, intimate wear for those who appreciate its gentle allure.

Our Verdict - This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 EDP
A divisive scent that some adore for its uplifting floral sweetness, while others dismiss it as smelling like 'baby wipes' or 'laundry detergent'. If it works with your chemistry, it's a bubbly, clean floral dream. If not, best avoid.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Autumn Winter

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its intimate nature and clean, subtle projection make it perfect for casual wear, office environments, or even sports where you want a fresh scent without being overpowering. The low sillage and delicate accords mean it's less suited for formal events or prominent date nights, though many enjoy it as a comforting bedtime fragrance.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean profile make it excellent for office wear and casual settings, as many reviews suggest. It's a bit too light for formal events, and while pleasant, perhaps not distinctive enough for a romantic date.
