Noki

Mango, mint, and greenery on a bright crisp morning. This smells like freshly peeled mango. One of those green and red mangoes that's half peeled in a way that the waxy skin is exfoliated but the blade hasn't cut beyond into the fleshy orange base. I know, it's a weird way to describe it, but it is spot on. Let it sit on your skin for 5 minutes and it blooms and blossoms into a beautiful, fruity, fresh scent. It is elegant and youthful, yet sophisticated. An office worker type of scent you notice on a district attorney's assistant, wearing a skirt, black high heels, carrying case load to bond court at 0900 in the morning to address all preliminary hearings in front of the judge. Knowing that the first thing the judge already ruled in her favor was her sillage.

Noki is very different from this house's usual style but holy smokes is it beautiful. The burst of tart tropical fruit makes me smile. And it dries down to a rich, warm, sweet, but not too sweet, slightly fruity scent. You know how most fruity perfumes either disappear or go sour? Not this one. That base of sandalwood and ambergris is magical. There's a hint of creamy natural coconut undertone in here. Maybe from the sandalwood? Just a hint -- I'm not a big fan of coconut scent -- but it balances the fragrance. I can't recommend this enough if you like amber and vanilla scents and want something lighter for summer. It is gorgeous. The other two "different" Pineward scents I tried, Gelatto and Delfino, are good and enjoyable, but this one stole the show.

This is a really great fragrance and I've been complimented on it several times so it seems to be relatively universally liked. The mint is there but well blended, otherwise it feels to me like tropical fruits and musks, but done very well. This is like God of Fire very vaguely, but way better in my opinion. It also lasts a long time for a fruit fragrance and projects very well. I originally bought a 17 ml but had to go back and buy a 37 ml because pineward does change their formulas on occasion and I didn't want to miss out if it was changed too much.

Wow, this is amazing, off the rip I get this bright and juicy realistic mango. It’s such a beautiful and tropical fragrance. I have the 2026 batch, but I don’t really get much mint, or if I do, it’s not the fresh and cold mint that most are used to. It’s very mango forward with other fruits and it’s so good. One of the best fragrances I’ve smelt. Top 1 pineward(from what I’ve smelt) and top 5 in my collection. Longevity:8-10hr Projection:4-5 ft 10/10

Incredible scent that almost smells like fruit candy with how heavy it is on the mango and lychee. Reminds me of the breath of a friend I visited in japan who would always drink mango ramune, which makes sense given what was said prior. Mint reminds me strangely enough of mint jelly they used to put on goat if you've ever smelled that, very odd but wonderful.
