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.

Noora is a warm, dark, spiced, honey-forward scent. It smells much more complex than honey right out of the jar and does not smell sickly sweet to me. Noora is immediately clockable as a scent of middle eastern origin. The oil is insanely potent- a few small drops are enough for me all day. Though marketed towards women, I could see a very cool and amazing smelling man rocking this.

What a different vanilla fragrance. Sandalwood, honey, saffron and orange blossom. Stays close to skin & throws very faint. If you like vanilla/creamy fragrance you’ll love this. On some women it smells like cherry almond, on others it smells like faint orange sandalwood. Adjusts uniquely to each individual and the bottle is great.

This is my current signature fragrance. It opens up smelling slightly soapy but after a few minutes saffron and honey take over and linger for the rest of the day. Lasts a full day, from morning to evening. Perfect in the winter time

Very warm, heavy almond, cherry and saffron. Reminded me of Forest Essentials’ Soundarya (and Swiss Arabian’s Daeeman). Longevity isn’t as good as the woodier CPOs from this brand. Settles down to a faint vanilla.

I really like it. Fore me its smells like Almond liquor - Amareto. Sweet and bitter at the same time. The drye down is a little soapy

So far. It is a little "thinner" than I expected, i.e. the scent lacks some depth. It is a very pretty scent. I smell vanilla, chocolate, maybe a hint of coffee and orange but it is more like orange blossom to me than actual orange. These are beautiful notes and it is a very pleasing, nonintrusive scent but I just wish it had more oomph. There needs to be more chocolate and more orange. The vanilla could be smokier, denser. I do like it but it doesn't seem very strong on me and I doubt it will last long on me either. It did remind me of Coco noir initially but then that didn't last. I think this needs to be layered with something else. I have noticed my Mukhallat al oud by Rasasi seems a bit thin too and I can layer with virtually anything as there is no dominance in this perfume. I think I prefer something more powerful, more heady and more in control. So, Noora, while you are beautiful, perhaps this Divine Light means you are not a heavy perfume? Or, you quietly sit in the background like a good girl? If so, then nice to meet you but I think you blend into the background too easily. I like to stand out a little more. This is initial impressions, I could change my mind - wink woman's prerogative! Edit***** I put this on before I went to bed, after my shower, I could still smell it on my skin in the morning - very syrupy sweet, but still there. No sillage though.

Really really love this. I own the oil version. For the first 2-3 hours of wear this is an intense honey bomb on me, very sweet, yet not headache or nausea inducing. In this phase projection is enormous on me. First compliment I got from hubby when walking in the room right after applying. 'You smell so nice!' The next few hours i get whiffs of musk, vanilla and soft florals. Honey remains the dominating note, though the entire scent starts to remain closer to the skin now. 6 hrs into wear in hot humid climate with quite some sweating i do have to lift my arm up to my nose to still perceive it. But what remains is a wonderful blend of saffron, some spice and musk. To me this is clearly feminine, but I can see how some men could pull this off too. But if you're a guy and considering it, you really should test it before buying. It's sweet, comforting, multifacetted and quite interesting in the way it develops. To me there's quite a luxurious feel to it. And yeah, for the 1000 Indian Rupees (approx. 14 USD) it cost me this is a clear win for me.

Initially Noora reminds me of Armani Code for women with its delicious honey and citrus notes. This, however, evolves into something quite sultry and sexy, and totally edible. The saffron offers a beautiful spicy undertone, a little like sweet licorice, but more like the red candy licorice, not the black natural confection with its anise-like character. Yes, Noora is quite syrupy and a little synthetic to the nose. There is also a bit of an almond/cherry nuance in Noora -- a friendly sweet cough syrup vibe. Perhaps this is where it is reminiscent of those red candy cherry flavored licorice ropes. The calorie-laden syrup can get a little overwhelming, but Noora is a good solid fix for me when I need an occasional warm rosey honey rush as the complexity provides a good balance. And just a drop of the oil will do as this perfume has some incredible sillage and longevity.

notes according to the seller I buy my oils from: Top: orange, tangerine, ylang ylang, plum, and honey Heart: ginger, lily, iris, tuberose, rose, jasmine, hyacinth, and saffron Base: sandalwood, agarwood, musk, vanilla, chocolate and civet Noora is multifaceted, as you see from the notes, - there are some naughty things going on behind the sweet facade, makes me think of someone's mischievous younger sister. It is not extremely sweet or heavy, you can always feel some breezy notes between honeyed gingered fruits and chocolate. For those civet-cautious - do not worry, it present, but tiny little bit, just to give earthy touch to this orange-fruity concoction. Saffron note is not as strong as with some oud-rose-mainly compositions, it appears now and then, but mostly you will smell honeyed white florals, fruits and nutty-chocolate really. Strong "like" from me.

The first time I tried this, I really enjoyed it. It is a honey-heavy scent that gradually fades on the skin into an amber-sweet rose dripping with golden dew. I was impressed. Then I tried it consecutive times, and I was put off by a chemical syrupy aroma, and I also recognized a very strong, synthetic burning toaster accord. The red jewel on the cap popped off as well. I can see how Noora could be wonderful for those who like sweet fragrances and don't care about bottle design (or who get a bottle that was glued together better), but the synthetic backdrop of the oil, and lack of quality of the bottle eventually turned me off from Noora.

Noora is a sweet little thing. She starts off wearably sweet and inviting, like a cozy bubble-bath full of adult bubbles. There is a shampoo vibe, but this is luxury shampoo. Later the white florals perk-up and go slightly heady but the vanilla amps-up to restrain them. The honey languishes throughout and comes across as a sweet amber. It’s very western and no way a scary Arabian so this would be a good blind-buy for your mum. I must investigate this further as it’s very, very interesting and forever evolving. Is it too vanilla sweet for me? It probably is.

Magnificent! I have a 50 ml spray and now I bought 20 CPO oil - the oil is amazing! It has a great projection and silage that I was looking for. Now it has become my daily signature fragrance, a wonderful diamond from the Swiss Arabian. A beautiful, fragrance with the wind, you can feel vanilla, honey and saffron, for every season of the year. scent 10! 5 stars for Swiss Arabian.

This is lovely and unique! I bought it on a whim because of the low price and I’m really pleased. It’s warm honey and oranges balanced with saffron, definitely sweet but not overdone. Musky, clean, and a little soapy as it dries down. For me I think this will make a great casual fall-winter scent when I want to smell warm, cozy and inviting.

Cherries, honey, slight sweetness, a creamy pepperish aroma from the saffron, almonds... it's feminine, soft, sort of a juicy fruity scent as well... It's a really lovely, perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Very youthful and pretty, a great buy for the price. 7.5/10

Hello! a real diamond that fell from the oriental sky, beautiful fragrance, saffron, orange and honey! I have 50 ml EDP. The bottle is amazing and the smell makes me addicted. I would recommend! Thank you DUBAI. 5 STARS.
