“Of course, a fragrance relies on the chemistry of the person wearing it so keep that in mind. This was a deep and rich scent but not as sweet as I expected. It started out with a soft and honey-like scent with an undertone of a soapy smell that is very hard to describe. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I noticed that the soapy smell was gone and the scent had gotten sweeter with touches of vanilla and some kind of a light floral smell. After about a couple of hours, the scent was soft and feminine and reminded me of a mix of honey-lemon-cake (very mild on the cake). If this had a powdery note, it would be amazing.This is not like any other perfume or perfume oil I have ever used. I read some reviews disputing that it is a true "attar" because it's too thin. Personally, I didn't think it was all that thin. When I use the glass want to apply it, nothing drips off the end of it.I like this but still plan to wear it layered with another vanilla scent that I have. This fragrance lingers a long time (even on my mature and dry skin) and sort of morphs between the different fragrance notes.Bonus points:The bottle is pretty and resembles a tiny art piece with a candied jewel on top. The glass wand is a nice touch & I would really have been disappointed if it had been plastic.Regardless of the scent, this looks pretty on my vanity (aka: bathroom counter) and I feel a bit elegant just using it.”
“I like the exotic style of the Noora Onyx bottle, and I think it is an excellent value for the money, but I don’t personally like the scent. It’s very sharp and bitter smelling. A little goes a long way, and that’s a good thing because the bottle will last. Also, I could still smell the oil on my wrists five hours after I applied it. The smell got less bitter and more sweet the longer I wore it, but I still didn’t like it. I did order the regular Noora because reviews said it was sweeter, so I’m hopeful that it will be good because I really want to love this perfume oil. Edit: After receiving the original Noora perfume, I can say that it’s much sweeter and more feminine, so I gave it 5 stars. So, if you would prefer something more sweet and less sharp and assertive, then go with the original Noora because it was a much better experience for me, personally”
