Nora

Citrus, ginger and saffron open it, amber and rose sit in the middle, and it settles into sandalwood and vanilla.

Nora comes from RAVE, the same Lattafa line as Rave Now. It opens sharp, a citrus and ginger lift with saffron underneath giving it the slightly metallic bite that saffron always brings. The middle is warmer, a soft rose and jasmine over amber, and the base is sandalwood and vanilla. It wears unisex: too spiced to read purely feminine, too sweet in the drydown to read purely masculine.

Straight answer on this one. Nora has no Fragrantica entry, so the note list below comes from four independent retailers rather than our usual two-source check. It is the least documented bottle we stock. Smell it at the stall before you commit.

Questions people ask

Is Nora authentic?
Yes. It comes from licensed U.S. fragrance distributors and ships factory-sealed in its retail box. Come smell it at our stall in the Patapsco Flea Market in Baltimore before you buy.

Who makes Nora?
RAVE, which is part of Lattafa. It sits alongside the Rave Now range.

What does Nora smell similar to?
Nothing we can support. Some retailers put Burberry Her Elixir on it, but Her Elixir is strawberry, blackberry and vanilla and shares nothing with this note list, so we are not repeating it.
