How It Smells on Skin
The Opening
Noor opens with a smooth, comforting blend of caramel and warm milk. It’s creamy right from the first spray—soft, sweet, and instantly cozy. There’s no sharpness here, no harsh sugar blast—just a gentle, milky sweetness that feels inviting rather than overpowering.
The Heart
As the scent develops, a warm gourmand accord takes center stage. The addition of lily of the valley is subtle but important—it adds just enough freshness to keep the fragrance from feeling heavy or overly dense. This is what makes Noor feel wearable beyond just nighttime or cold weather.
The Dry-Down
The dry-down is where Noor really settles into its personality. Vanilla, praline, and soft musk melt into the skin, creating a creamy, dessert-like finish that feels smooth and comforting. The praline note is especially noticeable here, adding richness and depth without going burnt or sticky.
Comparison: Eclaire vs Tiramisu Caramel
If you’re familiar with Lattafa Eclaire and Zimaya Tiramisu Caramel, Noor sits right in between—but leans closer to Eclaire.
- Compared to Zimaya Tiramisu Caramel:
Tiramisu Caramel feels softer and more airy, with a lighter sweetness. - Compared to Lattafa Eclaire:
Noor shares that creamy, praline-forward richness that makes Eclaire so addictive. The praline note in Noor pushes it firmly into that same cozy, dessert-inspired lane.
If you love Eclaire, Noor will feel familiar—but not redundant.
| Fragrance | Sweetness Level | Creaminess | Praline Presence | Overall Vibe | Closest Match |

| Zimaya Tiramisu Caramel | Medium | Soft & airy | Minimal | Light, cozy, honeyed | None (lighter gourmand) |
