A musk/floral scent that I loved while on vacation in Spain- I finally bought it when I came home and I must say the bottle is beautiful but what was inside was completely different than what I remembered.

I don't know what I was thinking while on vacation (vacation brain) but this perfume has a musky almost damp smell that seemed to last forever, even after washing. I often joked that it smelled like the inside of waterbaby (moldy and unfresh)- I gave away the bottle and I wouldn't buy it again.

I tried this yesterday and ended up liking it at first. It's a very musky floral, very girly and transparent. After smelling it for a couple of hours, I was already bored with it.

I eyed this one a long time before I purchased it. It seemed so pretty, soft, and mystical. Once I puchased it, reality set in and it evoked cloying feelings of being stuck indoors due to weeks or months of never-ending drizzle coming down from a depressing gray sky. I ended up giving an almost full bottle of this one fragrance away.

Noa Fleur is such a beautiful scent. It's almost angelic like. It's very floral. Floral in kind of like a fou fou way. Peonies and roses. The pearl inside the bottle represents to me the treasure it is floating in...the fragrance itself. Noa Fleur is a land where everyone is happy and where everyone frolicks through fields and fields of peonies and roses. The sun is out and the flowers are releasing their beautiful scent. Also, it's a mystical, unicorn scent. In a land far far away unicorns frollick about while the wonderous waters of this land pour Noa Fleur. The bottle is very cute and the little box it comes in is adorable. It folds out like a little fairy tale story book....just like Noa Fleur. A beautiful little fairy tale scent.

This smells a lot like Avon Peony Soft Musk to me but this is a little more complex. I recieved this in a swap around the same time as Noa Perle and I would say I like them just about equally. The top notes are very strong but most perfumes are that way for me. On drydown it smells like a warm floral. I think the bulgarian rose and musk is maybe what people are smelling that is reminding them of 'old lady', however I like rose and musk! :) Just like with Noa Perle its something I'm not in love with but will keep for some variety in my fragrance wardrobe.

I liked this at first because I could detect the woody undertones from the original Noa. But the more I wear it the more it smells too much like potpourri to me. On me this smells generically floral, highly chemical, and has an old-lady vibe. This to me is too strong...but then again I'm sensitive to smells. I'll stick with the original Noa which is my favorite!

Bought this just before Thanksgiving at TJ Maxx for about $15 I think. I bought it without smelling it because I had remembered sniffing it at Macy's once and liking it. It's the first floral I've ever bought, I'm more into ambery or orientals I guess but I love this when I want something flowery. Peony and rose and lily of the valley or something. Love it, and highly recommend this! Based on the other reviews I will try Noa original next. I'm a big fan of Cacharel all around so far! So many of their scents are amazing to me. Love the bottle and packaging, too. Pretty magenta and lavender and silver.

I love the original noa and for some reason while shopping at marshalls i thought i had smelled noa fleur before and really liked it, so i bought it without re-smelling it because it was only $12. Once I opened it and spritzed some on when I got home i HATED it. Smells like old lady. Not nice like the original noa. I don't think I can find anyone who i can give this to. Its awful.

This is a light version of the original with a rose emphasis. I prefer it to the original, actually. It is a fresh, green, somewhat sweet and soapy floral. It makes you feel fresh and clean when you wear it. If you like Beautiful Sheer or Stella, you might like this.

Just like Lancome Miracle. Very disappointing. I liked the drydown of Noa, although it was very strong initially. This is nothing like Noa.

I bought a 3.4 ounce bottle at Marshalls for 12 dollars, and I really wish I could give it a good grade. I can barely smell it, it's so weak and I can barely distinguish any notes. You have to spray a lot of it to get any scent, but then you get to much of an alcohol smell to it. The bottle is beautiful, and mine doesn't leak; but I think I will probably give it away.
EDIT: I'm glad I gave it to my mother. It smells so fresh and clean on her.

This is currently my favorite floral (along with the original Noa), and the one I reach for the most. It's quite distinct from the original Noa, with a much more present floral heart of peony and rose--yet it still has that underlying "punch" (coffee? wood?) that makes the original so unique. I might be the exception here, but I find that it has an absurdly excellent staying-power... a little goes a long way on my skin. This is a must-try for any floral lover (or liker).

I own a bottle of Noa and I thought Noa Fleur would be a simple variation from the original Noa. I was expecting it to be, believe it or not, more floral. I’m actually very surprised by this scent. It opens with a strong note of coriander and later mellows out to an earthy, herbally, floral scent. It lasts on the skin much better than the original Noa and has decent sillage. I made the original mistake of spraying too much on, being used to applying Noa in generous quantity because it is such a light scent that likes to disappear. Noa Fleur is strong and has a very interesting composition. Unique and multi-faceted. I haven’t figured out in which situation I might be able to wear this. I don’t think it is offensive at all or should be reserved for a certain occasion, but for me, this is a bit loud for everyday wear. Just my own experience and preference though and I do think this is a pleasant perfume- so 4 stars from me.

This is my signature scent. And it's the best fragrance I've ever smelled. It is a light, feminine, soft floral scent. It is more feminine than the original Noa. Personally I like this one better than the original. The staying power isn’t all that, but a little refilling sprits throughout the day helps. I'm on my 2nd bottle now, and I will continue to use it. This is one fragrance I could not see my self without.

Ah, I fell for this perfume the second I smelled it at it's debut.
I've bought two bottles and always end up returning it because it does not last.
They really should only make eau de parfum, or give up on creating it at all.
I've always been frustrated by Cacharel because of this, but I still love this perfume and keep a sample of it. The next Noa, "Noa Perle" will be out in september.

I bought this yesterday, unsniffed, based on reviews and hoping for my "Dove soap scent" obsession to finally be satisfied. It is not satisfied. This smells like Ivory soap, not Dove soap. Dove is sweeter and creamier. This is a drier soapy scent, and simply lovely anyway. Opening the box is really just so fun too. It's like a little specially wrapped gift. I will buy more of it. It's so pretty, fresh, subtle and non-sneezy. Excellent all the way around.

I would actually give this a 4.5.
It is a mix of rose, peony, and musk notes.
It is a very soft fragrance, almost like a light perfumey slightly floral fragrance.
I really like it, because it's easy to wear in any situation, and is very feminine, yet not over the top sweet or cloying.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. =(
I LOVED the original Noa, but this is just... weird. It just doesn't have those deep and crisp undernotes that the original did. I used to wear Noa as my staple, year-round, all occasion signature scent. :::sigh:::

Again, love this, smells so good. The minute I got this two friends were on my tail about how good it smelled.




I just hate that it barely has any staying power. The only way I constantly smell like it is because I spray it on my clothes (Jacket/coat, scarf) and hair. I constantly get comments by men and girls alike (mostly men) of how good I smell so this is my trademark smell! I wish they would at least make a stronger parfum version.
