Never judge a book by its cover....
I remember well that day in September 2018 when I purchased this perfume. A branch of our local perfumery was closed and merged with a larger same chain. The result was: 50% off the existing range.
Another perfume was the target of my desire. This was also allowed with, and while I stood agonizingly long at the sheer endless cash register, my gaze fell on this inconspicuous bottle of Cacharel.
Cacharel is not a name that awakens desires today. During my childhood in the 90s, however, it was promising and I remember seeing advertisements for this perfume.
A quick spray on the wrist. Yes, smells good. Test bottle put back. After all, there was the perfume for this price very often in the department store I trust, it did not have to be immediately, but enough perfumes stood around with me. The queue became shorter only agonizingly slowly, and again and again the wrist wandered to the nose. And there it was, the urge for a fragrance, as I had not experienced it for a long time.
When I was finally allowed to pay, I unceremoniously turned around and grabbed Noa.
Here could be an end, as with many purchases that had to eke out their existence in the drawer at some point. But no, Noa is different.
Thanks to Noa, I no longer smell daily after Classique, but quite often after Noa.
The first spray is very alcohol-heavy, slightly aldehyde. Since I do not like him, but this impression disappears within seconds.
Then follows already in barely perceptible succession head and heart notes, which I can not distinguish at all. I smell flowers, something green, and at the same time the lily of the valley. But the musk also works its way forward, but is rather tame at the beginning and is depressed by the flowers. Actually, also not the fragrance that I want.
But after a good ten minutes, it develops its potential, and that's exactly why I love it. The base note comes into play, and without being able to name an exact note, it just smells cozy and well-groomed. Yes, I can smell out the vanilla, the incense and the cedar. But the scent is restrained, not a whopper. Even when people take me in their arms, no one can smell anything in particular. Sometimes I am asked if I had just drunk a coffee, after all, I have such a note on me. (In fact, I had never drunk a coffee on those days.)
Other questions, whether I would have applied an expensive cream.
I don't think I've ever had a perfume that I received so many compliments on. But in fact never how great my perfume smell - I hear that about other fragrances, here I only get told how great I smell. Just yesterday at a celebration, a friend came several times, took me in his arms with the words, she just wanted to sniff me, because I would smell so great.
For me, this is a clean, warm cuddly scent. A smell that says, "I don't need the big stage, I don't need a big show. I'm enough for me." A fragrance that has been available for so long is one of the classics for me, and I wouldn't want it out of my life.
If I were told I could only own one perfume now, it would be Noa. I never believed in that when I bought it. He is anything but modern in his appearance, on the dressing table he does not stand out as a beauty. And yet he is now my favorite everyday fragrance, and more than once I had another fragrance in hand and yet decided without further ado to apply it as a daytime fragrance.
I do not see any images with him. While other fragrances enchant me, he was not allowed anywhere with. Or yet, most likely I see a colleague in front of me, who told me the first day I wore him only how incredible I smell that day. He bought the fragrance shortly after for his girlfriend at the time, who is now history. But at the Christmas party, he sat next to me and sniffed me again, grinning. I think the fragrance I associate most with this dear colleague.
The fragrance does not last forever, I bought a second bottle for the office to be able to replenish. Twice a day applied but is quite enough.
CONCLUSION: Noa is not a visual, but an olfactory highlight. He is unobtrusive, well-groomed and yet has this refined depth, which I find very pleasant in everyday life. In addition, he is often on sale for 20 euros to have, which does not disgust him even budget-conscious wearers.
From the age I would say not under 30. He is not hip, but rather classic. Before I would have appreciated him also certainly not, but now he is a good fragrance.
Addendum in May 2022:
Yes, is my comment already so old?
I have now endured a year without Noa. New fragrances have moved in with me, and I have spent far too much time browsing Parfumo and looking for new treasures.
For weeks, I've been thinking of Noa like an old friend you've lost track of and long for an extensive chat. Yes, that's how I felt about Noa, but I wanted something new. What had I me promising fragrances on Parfumo ausgeguckt, but in the perfumery they just did not want to convince.
Then the attempt to acquire a cuddly cream fragrance in the drugstore. Flakon um Flakon I tested, always scared away.
Today, without further ado, I ordered Noa and am curious how our reunion turns out. Noa, you have come to stay.
