then it settles into something warmer and less floral

Swiss Arabian Nouf Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray Rayhaan Peony and pink pepper openNouf opens with a sharpness pink pepper and a slice of lemon then settles into rose and oud that feels more suede than floral. It's a woody fragrance wearing a flower's name, not the other way around. Eau de Parfum, 50ml in a glass bottle with a spray atomiser. Two or three spritzes sit on skin for around five hours, longer on clothes. Good for someone who likes rose without the sweetness, and oud without the heaviness.
