CreamyWhat does Nouwa smell like?
Spices, citrus notes and marula give the opening a fruity, lively start. At the heart, orris root adds a powdery, creamy softness. In the base, tonka bean keeps the sweetness going while cedarwood draws a woody frame around it.
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Juliette Has A Gun Liquid Illusion and Kenzo Cèdre Secret have a close profile.
