Noa L'Eau de Parfum

This is probably the best of Noas; I have tried some of them but L'Eau De parfum is the top version of Noa. (Noa Perle being a top summer juice) L'Eau De Parfum is quite intertesting in a way that it is difficult to find oriental fragrance that would be mesmerizing, elegant and at the same time, refreshing. L'Eau De Parfum simply delivers - it is great for any season and smells like a vintage quality soap aroma filled with pure musk mixed with iris, sandalwood and a hint of oakmoss. I cannot detect any other notes, be it floral or fruity. I am lucky to own 2 x 60ml bottles as the fragrance, for unknown to me reason, is quite difficult to find. I am wearing it today when it is 25 degrees outside and it feels great. I find it hard to assess its lasting power and sillage; it seems to cling to my skin and clothes for several hours and yes, it is quite noticeable to the environment, so it is probably me wishing that every fragrance leaves a heavy trail - in this case L'eau De Parfum Noa is just a tiny bit too light for me. I consider it a lovely and rather unusual woody oriental; it is also not very popular which is an added bonus. I do get occassional compliments on it, mainly from women. Well worth adding to your collection if you fancy soft woody oriental.

Noa EDP is one of my all-time favorites (first owned in 2001) and constantly I keep revisiting it, although my fragrance colection grew-and grew... and GREW. I've got a 60 ml bottle 3 years ago on a heavy discount at the local Marionnaud and since I treasure it. Brings me nice memories and it is the summer perfume that gives me the best mood with its bittersweet crushed-leaves-like undercurrent. Only me is feeling it? Memorable, compliment inducing, soothing and friendly. Noa fleur was another good one from the series, more powdery and wit a little bitterness as well.

I love this perfume. Why they are no longer produced?

It reminds me the Noa Edt, but it has some kind of freshness in it, the quality that I like in men's frags. More powdery (but in a good way)than Noa EdT, so it reminds me an aristocratic but still modern lady... like Kate Middleton.

Today I have received a vintage bottle of Noa Eau de parfum that I found in ebay and I decided to purchase according to the positive reviews here... I am not sure yet about the fragrance... am I the only one who find it a masculine one? i dont't know if the reason is being in winter and this perfume better suits the warm weather or that the juice has been a bit altered in the course of the years... Somebody who can give me advice about?
