Cacharel Noa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Olivier Cresp. Noa opens with Musk, Green Notes, 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 green-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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

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.
