NOUF

Nouf by Swiss Arabian is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women. Top notes are Grapefruit, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Amber and Pepper; base notes are Cedar, Amber and Palisander Rosewood. “Nouf is a fresh fragrance that opens with a stimulating blend of citric fruits like lemon, grapefruit and bergamot; which later make way to the amber and pepper notes that deliver an unassuming versatility. Its fresh aquatic accords speak volumes in terms of femininity and passion. The Swiss Arabian collection of perfumes generally have a sense of private intoxication about them, and to some degree, Nouf’s self-contained character can be attributed to the rosewood note itself. Not the citrus components of its top notes which eventually dissipate, but the sturdier wood smell that is found to be linear, constant and resistant to change. While the fragrance does end with amber and woody notes of cedarwood and rosewood, it does so while celebrating true graceful sensuality. Nouf, for many in the western world is slightly masculine leaning (in the way that wood notes typically register) but it does so without going too far in that direction; Nouf definitely has an air of the “authoritative” about it, which balances out the feminine aspects of the perfume.” – a note from the brand.
