Detour

Just got this one in the mail. Was a total blind buy and my first NOYZ fragrance and I absolutely LOVE it. It’s bright and floral at first spray with that Mandarin and Apple Blossom immediately noticeable, but settles into woody, sweet floral with the musk coming out on the back end. Something about this scent reminds me of walking around Laguna Beach or driving down PCH in the Spring and Summer with the windows down. Not quite oceanic, but is reminiscent of an ocean breeze combined with the scent of just bloomed florals in a beach location. It is definitely a more personal fragrance and lasts longer on my clothing than my skin. The musk comes through more on my skin after dry down, while the florals stay more prominent on my clothing. It’s a perfect summer fragrance for those who like sweeter floral notes and prefer fragrances that stay close to your body. I bought the travel size and I love the quality of the bottle and spray nozzle. I will say that smelling the spray nozzle reads much different than how it smells when it’s sprayed, just on the off chance you come across this and just give it a whiff from the nozzle.

Blind bought this based on the marketing, which was so exciting and edgy! When I opened my bottle and excitedly sprayed it out, I was rocketed back in time to the early 90s and my beloved Salon Selectives shampoo and conditioner which had the most gorgeous and long lasting fresh green apple scent. This was so apple forward and sweet, and then started to morph into a more quiet vanilla with musky undertones, far less adventurous and exciting and less edgy than I was led to believe by the advertising. This is nice but it isn't cutting edge awesome like Unmute is, where I was just sitting there basking in the absolute gorgeousness of the peppery vanilla heaven! It also wasn't as evocative and filled with longing and wonder like Sh*tty Day is. I am hoping that as mine macerates that it will get stronger and deeper! I'm glad that I have it!

I unexpectedly love this. Unexpectedly because I’m not a big floral scents person, but this is so pretty and uplifting. It just makes me happy to catch it rising from my skin when I wear it. I only have the solid scent because of the difficulty of obtaining Noyz in the UK. The mix of fruit and floral notes is so well done, and the musky vanilla dry down is lovely. I paired it today with Entre Genres by Infiniment Coty to emphasise the musky notes and it was delicious.

The opening is beautiful, fresh, and fruity in a refined way. There's something addictive about it. It lasted an hour or so on me, then dried down to a peppery scent on my skin. Maybe that's the papyrus note. If they could make a perfume that smelled as good as the opening, but that lasted longer, I'd give them my last dollar. But I know that it's hard to make these types of notes stick around.

BEAUTIFULLLL. This is a yummy, fruity, floral smoothie. The progression of this scent is so well done and masterfully crafted. I don’t necessarily smell any of the notes listed, but it’s still lovely. It opens at the top with a bright mango smell that lasts about 5 minutes, then develops into a floral peach, and then dries down to a nice fruity, white floral fragrance. Love love love
