NAÏCA

Naïca is a unisex eau de parfum by Noème Paris, the Parisian haute parfumerie house whose name means “the inaccessible”, from the philosophical concept of the noema. It is a powerful, intense aromatic spicy fougère with a woody character: a treasure hidden in a crystal cave of rare beauty.

The Fragrance

The name Naïca evokes the famous Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, and the fragrance tells its magic: emerged from chaos, a forest of silver pillars rests in the heart of a crystal cavern, in a black field dazzled by darkness. It is an almost magical, fairy-tale journey, because, as Suzanne Martel wrote, the value of a treasure lies in its secret: and discovering Naïca is a powerful, charged and intense moment. It belongs to the Iconique collection, the house's first, and is signed by perfumer Majda Bekkali.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is spicy and vibrant: clove lights up next to the freshness of grapefruit and the spark of pink pepper. In the heart the fragrance becomes aromatic and elegant, with lavender, geranium and cedarwood. In the base, oakmoss, patchouli and benzoin create a warm, deep, enveloping base.

Who We Recommend Naïca To

We recommend Naïca to those who love aromatic, spicy perfumes with a woody, mossy base, and to anyone looking for a modern fougère with character. It is perfect in autumn, winter and spring, at the office as well as in the evening. Unisex, it suits him and her.
