Noa Perle

My lovely Noa Perle. Still as good as new. It is possibly worse than the classical Noa that is an understated gem but I love it more. It is so aromatic and a novelty out of the parts. It differs a lot from the pillar. Taking it apart is hard and obviously the notes help. Yes, hazelnuts and kumquat are the biggest, followed by peony and orange blossom. It is a citrus scent and a gourmand. It reminds of L'Artisan Parfumeur Seville a L'Aube. It is reminiscent also of Attraction by Lancome. 3 hours of sillage to 9 hours in wafts.

I would say, it's even better than the original one... too bad it's discontinued :-/

This perfume is a masterpiece. Whoever decided to discontinue this scent ought to lose their job. Huge fail. Unforgivable. Off with their head!!!

so much better than the original Noa. Love this version, pretty sharp at the beginning but in a nice crispy way. Then it becomes more subtle and very creamy. It's perfect, a shame that it is discontinued.

Every spray of this is so so precious.

The Absolutly BEST of house Cacharel! Unique and very wearable🥰 pure love 😍

I miss this fragrance please bring it back !

The sea foam that Aphrodite was born from... captured in a bottle. I think I like the bottle a bit more than the scent itself, if I am honest. My mother wore this perfume back in the day.

i have a vintage bottle as a tester of 90ml in a bottle of 100 ml. No box allways kept in the dark

Please bring it back Cacharel, this is a masterpiece. I’m so enough and sick with the jokes called fragrances this days. I want back the elegance, the sensuality and femininity that I want in a fragrance to speak about me, not some cheap disgusting cologne masculine fragrances so called unisex.

I have greatly desired Noa Perle after meeting Noa, how it lit my life is recent history. It is a nice surprise to perceive colored pencils and black pencil leads though seemingly unmotivated. Hazelnuts are perhaps that bitter side I call pencil, and this aroma is not the classic gourmand. Peony releases its scent softly as if no chemical agent is involved so overall the feeling is very comfortable and smooth. Noa Perle is not that usual fruity or citrusy I'm used to. It is not a crackling peppery rather a dance of ingredients in perfect balance. Is serenity, a cloud I dive in and to slowly emerge from in its unfolding. Noa Perle takes all its time quietly, calmly and so do I.

It opens with citrus and pink pepper, and it's sweet. I keep wanting it to be tangy when I bring my arm up to smell it again, but it's not, it's got a soft character. It's smooth from the start, and gets creamier as it dries down. It's pleasant but honestly, I have cheaper lotions that do the same generically pleasant job, scent-wise.

I have a sample. --- A warmer musk, but still sharp. Does remind me of Noa , but the hazelnut does not come through as a note. I find it reasonable, but not special.

My holy grail, Cacharel please bring it back! I logged in here few years ago to find a substitute for Noa Perle but......there is no fragrance like this one. My number one. I really miss it.

I'm a big fan of Noa, it's one of my favorite everyday perfumes, so I didn't hesitate when I had the opportunity to buy a sample of this flanker. The notes list makes it look very interesting. Well, it's less interesting than I hoped, but it's pretty and pleasant. Like the original Noa it's very suitable for daytime use, but they don't smell alike. To me it's mainly an orange blossom fragrance with some peony and a zesty, slightly bitter kumquat in the opening. It's light, clean and fresh with a subtle underlying creamy warmth. This is rather close to the skin, especially in the drydown when the kumquat is gone and hints of hazelnut show up. Honestly, I wouldn't have figured that this has a hazelnut note if I didn't see the notes list. There is a slight nuttiness which is rather dry and not gourmandish, but the scent is so weak at this stage that everything feels a little blurry. All in all I like the scent of Noa Perle, but it doesn't move me in any way.

I'm looking at its empty bottle at the moment and i miss it very much. It was fantastic, love it. Please cacharel; bring it back :(

I just love this one.. Bought it second hand (full bottle) for peanuts. It opens very green and fresh, soft, and light, yet so very there. Drydown is sweet and nutty. It lasts for a long time as well. I put it on last night before bed and could still smell it well this morning. Safe blind buy. Yummy!

Quite nice, i smell the pepper and the orange blossom in the opening, progressing to a gentle floral heart then a creamy nutty drydown. I don't find this to have enormous sillage but rather a nice cloud of scent to envelope you. The floral heart is a little reminiscent of some fabric conditioners you get for laundry and for this reason I am a little put off. Btw on my skin the dry down is very reminiscent of cavalli nero Assoluto so this may suit as a replacement for this discontinued scent

I blind bought this little gem about 8 years ago for $20. Loved the zesty pink pepper opening which would then turn into a lovely floral on me. The hazelnut drydown was delicious,creamy,warm,comforting and very long lasting - I still have a tiny amount left to enjoy. Really sad this was discontinued. Hoping to find another bottle of this one day. Update - lucky me - found a 30 ml unopened bottle for sale online!

I miss Noa Perle. I used to wear it all the time and it was something special on me, I guess it meshed well with my body chemistry. I always found this perfume interesting. I used to really enjoy the way it developed throughout the day - the zesty citrus, the florals, the creamy hazelnut! And the dry-down would last and last and last... I always felt feminine and special wearing it. I wish I could buy another one of those beautiful bottles.

IMO Noa Perle has two phases which are not similar at all. The opening is very sharp, zesty almost screetchy. The first smell is much alcholic. But after 15 minutes it starts to sit on my skin. It softens down and warms up. Floral notes start to talk. And the drydown is the best part. The nutty base is gorgeous. The smell stays still soft floral but it gets warmer, sweeter and creamier. I don't like the opening but I love love love the drydown. The sweetness of Noa Perle is just at the right amount. Not cloying or suffocating at all. The drydown reminds me of a Summer sunset of a day spend in nature. The sillage is average I don't think anybody near will be offended by this perfume. That makes it nice for office wear. The longevity is so good that you can enjoy the warm, soft, nutty phase for hours.

So excited to get this fume! Found on eB $20 for an ounce with shipping included. So it is still out there! I find it nothing like the white Noa, but I do like this a lot. I find it very similar to how I remember "Ode au Reve" by Yves Richer, though the discriptions here do not seem to have any shared notes to speak of. This starts off as a very sharp white floral, then mellows out into a floral & nutty scent. I really like Olivier Polge, and enjoy many of his scents, Flowerbomb & Florabotanica to name 2.

I miss this scent sooo much! this has always been my go-to fragrance. as many others have already mentioned it smells very sharp in the beginning but the drydown - oh the drydown! I love it with all my heart. I've never ever received so many compliments as with this one either! please, please bring it back...

I’m a huge fan of the original Cacharel Noa , and wondered how else a flanker called Perle might improve on the notion of clean, luminous perfection. I sprayed Noa Perle on and, wonder of wonders, it was bright and sweet and young(er), with a distinct air of toffee or caramel candy. As the fragrance warmed on my skin, the toffee went away, to be replaced by a fruity sweetness, reminiscent of a different kind of candy … of the artificially fruit-flavored sort children in the 70s could get, pressed into various shapes (a skeleton called “Mr Bones” for Halloween, for instance). Or kiddie aspirin. Noa Perle doesn’t smell at all like Noa. In fact, it bears a closer resemblance to another Cacharel -- Promesse. And it’s strong … the candy fruitiness stayed unchanged on my forearm for the better part of an afternoon, until a dip in the ocean diminished -- but did not entirely extinguish -- it. Not the original Noa, but not bad either.

Ah, Just bought this today, and I am so pleased I did. Thank you all who recommended this one when I asked my fellow perfumistas in the forum if they thought I would enjoy this. This is such a lovely and unique perfume; it seems to perfectly and magically inhabit two worlds simultaneously, and do so very beautifully and gracefully I might add. I am first met by a wonderfully zesty candied citrus, which then quietly steps back to introduce the sweet yet understated floral bouquet. Then, to my delight, it becomes this delectable chocolatey hazelnut mousse, and all the while, seamlessy swirling about me, almost like a whisper, is that hazy and dreamlike soft citrus floral veil. I am happy and comforted wearing this, and feel enchanted by this Perle. It is as irridescent as the bottle that contains it.

First of all the advert confused me a little bit,made me think this would be another Eau de Rochas, but somehow it shows the fairy spirit in the perfume too. The colors are just beautiful,purples,blues,creams... Also it seems to be orientated towards the young crowd and teenagers, but you know what? I am 44 and feel really comfortable in it. It makes me feel like Campanilla moving her wings in an autumnal forest before dark. I find it quite seductive and at the same time I do not think it can offend anybody around. I am enjoying it enormously and I think I will enjoy it even more in October and November when the leaves start falling and the feeling of nostalgia begins invading us all. It is as beautiful as that.

This is the one perfume I find myself buying over and over again. When first sprayed I find the peppery note somewhat of a shame. I just don't like peppery smells much I suppose. The dry down is absolutely amazing however. The peppery note fades after a while and a beautiful very sweet and warm floral smell emerges. I've made this into my signature scent, I just can't get enough of it! The scent is quite strong, but I don't find it overpowering or too heavy. It's just strong enough to be noticably there and it's staying power is great.

A little bit peppery light floral fruity fragrance. First while the opening of this fragrance I was impressed by the tender floral combination of the peony, orange blossom and freesia notes mixed with the citrusy kumquat note. But soon this floral beauty quickly turns into flowery sourness and the pepper note is annoying enough. Unfortunately, not my cup of tea.

Noa Perle is a peppery and so sweet fragrance, even causing me a headache. No little resemblance to the soft Noa plus it's too feminine. Just too ordinary, yet so simple composition and so strange. Individual notes are good, but it's so heavy in dry-down. Summer Noa is maybe better than this. Original Noa is still the best in this range.

I know it doesn't seem (acording to the notes displayed ), but to me it is exactly like Eau Jeune's "Démon" , perhaps in less strong . As simple as that . It's sensual and quite provocative (as i said in my "Démon" review ) , the name "Noa Perle" doesn't match with the smell , neither the packaging not to mention that it is not original "Noa" smell related in any way Like it anyway.
