I’m the first to admit that I can be a fragrance snob. I want beast-mode staying power and a true grown-up gourmand profile (I’m a vanilla-woody fragrance girl to my core), and oftentimes it’s the luxe, $100+ products that get the job done. My fragrance wardrobe is stocked to the brim with Chloé, Guerlain, Dior, and D.S. & Durga, but I’m always on the hunt for a reasonably-priced alternative that still smells, well, filthy rich. That’s where NOYZ’s newest launch, Only Human, comes into play.
While the $85 (!!!) scent officially launches today, I was lucky enough to get an exclusive preview—and it’s been all over my pulse points for weeks. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at the jump. Under-$100 scents (that are actually elevated and up to my high standards) typically take body mist or hair perfume form and have yummy, but very fleeting gourmand profiles. But I can confidently say that since I started wearing this elevated skin scent (it’s a woody, amber, vanilla, which is one of fall’s biggest fragrance trends), I haven't even looked twice at the rest of the perfumes in my collection. It’s that good.
