Noora Onyx

Here is a gender bender, with a fine bit of heel, dressed as an aromatic leather that leans on the pretty green. Very much a fougère in essense; this lovely CPO lights up a mood with its lavender notes naturally wrapped in citrus zests, in herbal-spicy tendency and floral sheer that meditates in the deep dark woods; where fresh, spirited bounty illuminates like a neon bulb enchanting a mossy soul. Plainly, there is an aldehydic quality to its goo-goo eyed shade of cool of inky verdant that embraces an oriental fibrous vanilla amber that prances off the skin like a sultry, buxom 'Drakkar Noir'... A fine offering with tenure and thankfully much to hold in its fold. Statuesque indeed!

Noora Onyx Swiss Arabian is divine. It feels like an improved, bolder and more extreme version of Drakkar Noir. Now Imagine if Drakkar had bomb sillage. Three swipes on your pulse points & this scent will be noticed. It has a clean, bright opening paired with a base that feels deep dark and inky extending through a long dry down. I know Oud is not listed in the ingredients but I swear I smell a soft little agar in there. As it dries I sometimes layer different Eau De Toilettes on top. I enjoyed the classic Vetiver by Guerlain & other green or Fougere scents layered on this. I want another bottle.

Very green yet feminine. It's the kind of greeness that you associate with soap rather than eau de cologne because it's s powdery and has depth to it. It starts of very fresh with lemon and verbena than transforms to moss and more bitter greeness. The drydown is very soapy yet deep and earthy. Very beautiful discovery and a really nice perfume oil to layer with some of my leathery perfumes (I think it will be perfect in fall/winter layered with velvet oud or ana abyad leather; we will see!)

This is. amazing. The lavender and rosemary aromatic and sweet and gives the citrus some staying power. I didn't get a lot of sweetness on my skin. It's what unisex should be. Too often they lean one way or the other, but this hits it just right. Noora Onyx is very long lasting. This is tricky because after 6 or 7 hours every time I thought it was gone I would get a waft of the scent. The sillage is heavy to moderate.

Very masculine, reminds me of a feminine drakkar noir. I did not like this at first but it has grown on me, I love layering this with patchouli or using it as bath oil. Not for faint of heart, and is unisex. I am on my third bottle now. A Very leathery/balsamic noir, smells great layered with other fragrances.

Ihis is indeed aromatic (I smell lemon verbena, basil, juniper) and it has that clean just-washed soapy vibe. However there is also a mysterious baked cookies facet that strides gourmand, perhaps that is the vanilla, patchouli and leather. It's unusual, somewhat complex and I like it.

I know I have to give this one more time. It is sadly not Love at first sniff, but I am so intrigued by the positive reviews that I want to be patient with it. I found it for $14.99 at Marshalls, and for the size of the bottle that really seems overpriced. I can tell it is of good quality, but my first reaction is bug spray and rubber. I have never smelled Drakkar Noir before, but I am excited that it is marketed to men, and this one is marketed to women. I love unisex and masculine fragrances. But this one is too harsh, and I am not getting a depth of notes beyond my initial reaction.

This one is an aromatic freshie, not exactly a blue freshie like BdC but more along the lines of Drakkar Noir, in fact the notes are almost identical Good performance but it's just such generic aromatic freshie with a zillion different basil/mint/juniper/coriander/whatever notes so I give it a 3/5

"Smells as if a woman wearing Black Orchid decided to douse herself in Old Spice men's body spray" - that is exactly on point! I would only add that for the first hour it is a strong odour of various dentist's sanitisers.

This is one of the first oils I prechased from Swiss Arabian and I have to say I have grown to understand it because of how complex it is. The way it smells on my skin is different from how it smells from the bottle. It smells masculine and then on me it drys down feminine. To my surprise when I wear it I get a lot of compliments from men. I really like this perfume oil, it last my entire 8 hour work shift and performs beautiful in cooler weather.

I like this one a lot! The rosemary/lavender/spice combo reminds me of the scent of the now defunct Crabtree & Evelyn’s Gardener’s hand cream, which I loved. As far as I can tell this scent has nothing in common with Noora, so don’t expect much overlap. Both are quite nice though.

It's gorgeous, but a little too on the masculine side for my girly preferences. It does smell very close to Drakkar Noir, I can confirm! I got it in today, but sent it back to Amazon.

Smells as if a woman wearing Black Orchid decided to douse herself in Old Spice men's body spray. this is for MEN

Layer this over Opium EDP and it will change your life! Great on its own, but much better layered with opium.

King of the silage, just a drop and will be noticed at 10 meters
