Daytime Fragrances
A fragrance for the daytime should have approachability and wearability in spades. We imagine a certain lightness and freshness, energising and always interesting. Daytime fragrances are the scents you wear to the office, casually running errands, and as part of your morning ritual - they’re dependable and friendly. These are your aromatic fragrances as well as your citrus and aquatic ones, featuring clean spices, herbs, and addictive woods. There’s no limit as to what notes make up a daytime fragrance - it’s a matter of presentation, and always context.
However you like your daytime fragrances, our range consists of some of the most interesting niche and independent perfumes made from high quality materials. A workhorse needn’t be boring, that’s for sure.
How Much Fragrance Should I Apply During the Day?
The right amount of fragrance depends on the context and company you keep, and your preferences, of course. Every fragrance is different, and typical concentration markers (eau de toilette, eau de parfum, etc…) are suggestions at best. Every brand is different. We recommend starting conservatively in order to gain a feel of the tenacity and longevity of the scent, and adjusting accordingly.
What Sort of Fragrance Should I Wear to the Office?
The etiquette of wearing perfume in the office is the order of subtlety and non-intrusiveness. Happy aromas, such as citrus, aromatic notes, and clean ambery musks are ideal office fragrances, which offer a long-lasting sensation of clean that doesn’t stick out.
But How Do I Smell Interesting?
An interesting perfume is a well-made and blended one - and it speaks for itself. The perfumes we carry at NOAH are valued according to their aesthetic merit, which wear beautifully on the skin.
What Do You Recommend?
It’s hard to beat the diffusive freshness of You or Someone Like You (Etat Libre d’Orange), which blends mint leaves, grapefruit, green tea, and white musks for invigorating sizzle and charm. While the original Eight and Bob offers a creamy aquatic freshness grounded with clean woody notes to ensure the scent lasts. Bon Monsieur from Rogue Perfumery is one at their well-dressed best, blending an incredible quality of lavender absolute with florals, woods, and oakmoss.
