Cacharel
Noa
“Peony and freesia on creamy musk — Cacharel's softest 1998 feminine, intimate by design.”
White musk, peony, and peach over a clean jasmine heart — Olivier Cresp's 1998 launch for Cacharel, the pearl-bottled clean-musk release of the late 90s. A spring daytime fragrance. Spawned the Le Jardin Noa, Noa Summer, and Noa L'Eau flankers.
