Swiss Arabian Noora Onyx is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Noora Onyx opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Rose, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Carnation, Cinnamon, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Swiss Arabian's Noora Onyx carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive Drakkar Noir clone, with some smelling 'bug spray and rubber' and others loving its unique, gender-bending fougère character. It's potent, so expect to be noticed - for better or worse.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its bold, long-lasting nature and strong projection make it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. It shines on dates and casual outings due to its intriguing, unique character, but might be too intense for some formal settings or physical activity.

About

Opens with a classic aromatic punch of lavender, basil, and zesty lemon, brightened by hints of rose and rosemary. As it settles, fresh spicy notes of juniper and cinnamon emerge, leading to a deep, woody base. Here, a prominent leather note intertwines with earthy patchouli, resinous fir, and a smooth blend of vanilla, amber, and oakmoss, creating a complex and ever-shifting profile.
