Cacharel Noa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Olivier Cresp. Noa opens with Musk, Green, Peony, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Coriander, and Vanilla. Cacharel's Noa carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

About

Noa opens with a soft, clean blend of powdery peony, peach, and freesia, underscored by a green freshness. The heart blossoms with lush white florals like lily and jasmine, woven with a hint of green grass. It settles into a delicate musky base, uniquely accented by a whisper of coffee, creamy vanilla, and warm sandalwood.
