What does Noa Summer Edition 2012 smell like?

The top holds red apple, mandarin orange, lemon and coriander, so citrus and fruit come first. In the heart, orange blossom, sunflower, frangipani and peony add a soft floral layer. Musk, benzoin and coffee at the base sweeten it and lead into a powdery warmth, while a green lightness stays in the background throughout.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it sits close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is made for women and, as the name suggests, leans towards summer days. Cacharel Noa Summer Edition 2011 and Acqua di Parma Acqua Nobile Magnolia have a close profile.
