While working on her signature perfumery brand, Noof came up with a unique idea of interlinking her masterpieces with the fragrances she creates. Each of her signature perfumes is described through her painting –weaving them together through a story that resonates with her style and creativity.
She launched unique fragrance collections described through Storytelling, Poetry, and Painting. The first one was inspired by the story of Andalusian Princess Walladah and the poet of Zaydun. This signature line was followed by Seville, Cordoba, and Granada.
Noof describes it as “An exceptional collection in which I mixed the arts of storytelling, poetry, and painting – and added the magic of perfume.”
