Noora

Of all my Arabian perfumes - and I have about 70 gorgeous little bottles, from all sorts of tiny and larger perfume houses - Noora has turned out to be my most worn, most loved attar. Something about the sweetness of honey, lilies and vanilla with an armful of roses and the barest underbrushing of saffron meld into an incredibly pleasing composition, a fragrance that everyone, of every age seems to enjoy. I love some of the heavier Arabian style perfumes, I especially love the sweeter compositions with lashings of saffron, and I even can admit to liking some liberally oud laced lovelies that, thankfully, missed the train to the barnyard...but this - this FABULOUS, super affordable Noora is absolutely scrumptious, from its first sweet entry to its lingering memories, 24 hours later, of lilies, roses and exotically elegant ladies. This fits about every picture of a glorious scent I can think of, additionally, it does an amazing job at being the underpinning to many of my Western perfume collection, especially when a little warmth and sweetness would make the Western scent "perfect". To me, Noora is a rare 10/10: If this was the only perfume I owned, I would be ok with that. A little deprived,but ok. Its that good.

Scent: 8 What i smell the most is the honey. I can feel too the Orange, but not a bitter Orange but a sweet Orange. Saffron and rose are appreciables here too. I like the smell of this perfume but i find It a bit lineal. Longevity: 8 Noora last quite muchas time. Un my skin around 6 hours. This is quite good, more attebding to the price, but being an oil i thoughr It would have a bit better performance. Sillage: 7 As most attars noora has not a very intense projection. It acts more as a skin scent, only appreciable from short distances. Even so It is better here than in other perfume oils that i have tried. Price/quality: 10 I have paid 12€/20ml what is great. Versatility: 10 Noora id very versatile. It can be wore every day at any time but for me It is better during the day. I see It as a totally unisex fragance and suitable for any range of age. Total: 8.5

Review for the oil: A room filler in the beginning, starts off with a syrupy sweet, orange honey, which then dries down to a soft saffron, vanilla honey scented soap bar. About 3 hours after, the scent sits a few inches from the skin, however it's still very noticeable, especially for close encounters. Noora lasts around 8 hours on me. This scent does well in all types of weather and seasons, in fact, I think it really blooms during summertime. Can be worn day or night. It leans a bit more to the feminine side, however men who love oriental spicy, sweet scents can get away with it too. Overall, Noora is a GORGEOUS scent that is very versatile. It embodies elegance, class and uniqueness. For the price, it really is a steal! Big LOVE!

I love love love this perfume! I have the oil and I'll admit that when I first bought this I was not very into the scent, but as I wore it, it seemed to sit far better on me than it did within the bottle lol. The honey scent really jumps out at you all the way through the journey but it does also dry down into some floral and vanilla notes very nicely beyond that. Personally, this is my favorite oil, I can't get enough! Definitely try it out if you would like a warm honey-sweet sort of perfume!

This perfume is delicious. Please donnot judge it by smelling it from the bottle, specially if it came to you by post and has been in a cold enviroment. Let it template a couple of days and try it then. It will come alive on your skin. To me this is a gourmand fragrance that plays in the same leage as Angel of TM. Smells like patchouli, chocolate, honney, yellow flowers, rose and musk to me. All deliciously blended.
