How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Noa

  • The cheaper of the two: from €25.45, against €45.67.
  • Its pyramid opens on peony, freesia, bergamot, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More track record: launched in 1998, it has been worn for 28 years.
  • Notes that are uncommon with us (freesia, peony): the less conventional of the two.
  • Eau de Toilette: the formula is more diluted than its rival's.

Why choose Narciso Poudrée

  • Richer concentration (Eau de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
  • vetiver, rose, tonka bean: all materials absent from Noa.
  • It is 18 years younger (2016 against 1998).
  • The investment is heavier: €45.67 minimum.
