Under My Spell Noelle

Noelle had me under her spell at first sniff!!! Its exotic elegance would certainly entice anyone who encounters it. The composition opens with a very spicy mixture of vanilla and cinnamon accord (cardamom & pepper). Although it gives way to let the florals shine through on the heart, the spiciness lingers until the drydown adding mystery to the well balanced mixture of warmth (vanilla, patchouli) and sweetness (amber, raspberry) which is deepened by the agarwood (oud) note. Longevity is up to 12 hours on me with a moderate sillage at arms length. Highly recommended.

Adore Noelle, it is so tart and woody-spicy-sweet and adventurous, very confident and seductive fragrance for high heels and evening dress, but even without dressing up - this smell makes you feel as "femme fatale" by that special bite and charm. It is like mix between Angel and Anglomania, - yet even more sophisticated. Cranberries and patch with cardamom are most noticeable on my skin, not so much of oud or vanilla with flowers, very different, out of crowd fragrance, do recommend for lovers of statement orientals.

Warm and spicy scent that is also fruity. Upon first application I felt cinnamon, surprised that it is absent. Very interesting blend. I feel cranberries the most - juicy and fresh. Also cardamon, ambergris, oud but just enough to keep it warm. Violet and rose are also great in the heart and it is sweetened by benzoin. The opening despite being in general warm and spicy is also surprisingly floral. The blend is rich, festive and chic. Perfect for December. It also lasts well, dry-down feels resinous and oudy.

i couldn't leave ulta without a bottle of this. it was odd. different. tart, woody, not at all too sweet or floral... it made me guess and guess... what was that ??? *sniff sniff* i even chased down a few staff and had them smell me, lol. no one seemed to know the notes! i bought the last bottle, raced home and fragrantica'd it: top notes turned out to be lingonberry, cranberry, cardmamom, black pepper and oud. this smells so good it'll make you wanna slap your granny!

This is fresh and woody but smooth at the same time! This is indeed modern and very wearable. It is more of a bright frag than a sweet one--- which I appreciate in the long line of sweet gourmand frags in the Crescent Row line. I had this and a popular Guerlain on my other wrist and I kept coming back to Noelle over the Guerlain. ( whaaaat? I know... ) It really is a wonderful addition to the Crescent Row line and I am heading to town this week to pick it up!
