You might recognize NOYZ by their cool, asymmetrical bottles, each with unique art representing its scent and doubling as chic decor. But if you haven’t been introduced yet, let me do the honors. Every NOYZ fragrance is genderless, wearable, and approachable (every full-size bottle comes in at $85). The scents come in various forms: powerful eau de parfums, portable perfume solids, and lightweight body mists ideal for everyday wear. NOYZ is one of those rare brands that keeps up with trends without sacrificing originality or longevity.

The nose behind NOYZ is a master perfumer who’salso created some of your favorite scents from Diptyque and Sol de Janeiro. The brand is beloved on TikTok and has launched star-studded campaigns with talent like Zayn Malik, Madeline Argy, Jake Shane, and fragrance influencer Paul Reacts. NOYZ even won a Cosmo Holy Grail Award for Best New Perfume Brand—our editors are fully obsessed (more on our faves, below).

Now, if you want to understand all the NOYZ hype and smell freaking amazing, team Cosmo reviewed all of the scents, and broke down all the best NOYZ perfumes below.

It feels like every brand is dropping a mist lately, so of course, NOYZ had to join in. And let's just say that they definitely understood the assignment. Each bottle clocks in at over 8 oz. (a major win in a world where a tiny fragrance can cost an arm and a leg). The mists come in three all-over scents for skin and hair, making them perfect for a midday refresh. Juicy Chaos is our personal favorite for a delicious blend of spicy citrus. There's also Salty (which smells like a tropical fruit drink) and Listen, Honey, which is a warm, sweet gourmand with notes of vanilla and amber. Ideal for tossing in your bag and spritzing on the go.

  • Notes: Blood orange, ginger, amber
  • Forms: Hair and body mist

This fragrance is so unique it's almost impossible to describe—but as a beauty writer, I’ll give it my best shot. It's somewhere in between fruity, fresh, and clean. If you could bottle up a summer rainfall over a warm beach, it would be this scent. And while it’s called Sh*tty Day, I like to interpret the name as the scent having the power to turn any bad day around. And like all of NOYZ's scents, it's long-lasting and this one is especially easy to layer.

  • Notes: Coconut water, bergamot, salted fig, cedarwood
  • Forms: Eau de Parfum, solid perfume, air freshener

One Cosmo editor says: "I got the chance to test NOYZ's first few scents a month or so before the brand launched. Immediately, I added Sh*tty Day to my arsenal and have continued to wear it at least once a week ever since. It really just smells like my skin, but better; after I've spent a day at the beach riding waves and eating juicy fresh fruit and I just got home and showered and put on cotton PJs. For this reason, it smells so natural and simple, so it's amazing for any season or time of day. Oh and it even comes in an air freshener?! It'll make your car smell like you just got back from a breezy, extra-salty beach."—BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

Honestly, I like this spicy scent even more than a certain luxury fragrance it could totally be a dupe for (cough cough, Baccarat Rouge 450). It’s a bit sweeter, a little lighter, and way more wearable for everyday. And might I add that it’s literally less than a quarter of the price. The perfume solid version is also a Cosmo editor favorite, especially for travel.

  • Notes: Pink pepper, raspberry, ambroxan
  • Forms: Eau de Parfum, solid perfume

One Cosmo editor says: "I carry the 12:00 solid perfume basically everywhere I go. The scent is subdued but sexy and comforting. It pairs well with basically every other scent I own (which is a lot), making it perfect for layering."—BG

NOYZ is leading the solid perfume revival with ultra-chic, travel-ready versions of their award-winning scents. Their magnetic tops make them easy to apply, and NOYZ even sells cute keychains that let you wear the solids as bag charms. And the balm itself melts into the skin effortlessly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. While all the scents are great, Unmute is a personal favorite for its warm, woodsy notes with a subtle burst of plum and pistachio, giving it an unexpectedly modern feel.

  • Notes: Plum, cinnamon, amber, pistachio
  • Forms: Eau de Parfum, solid perfume

One Cosmo editor says: "This perfume smells like the elegant 30-something-year-old woman I hope to become in a few years. It’s got a little bit of everything—juiciness from the plum note, spice from the cinnamon, musk from the amber, warmth from the sage, and sweetness from the pistachio—all wrapped in a cozy, comforting vanilla base. There’s something sexy and self-assured about the scent, without feeling too put-on or artificial.”—DANIELLE COHEN, CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Best Fruity Floral Perfume

NOYZ Detour Eau de Parfum

Detour Eau de Parfum

Detour is literally the epitome of summer in a bottle. It boasts top fruity notes of apple and mandarin, middle florals of jasmine and gardenia, then finishes off with musk and vanilla. It creates a fresh and fruity scent with just the right amount of warmth. The musky-vanilla dry down gives it a soft, skin-like finish that makes it feel cozy and v wearable for any occasion.

  • Key notes: Gardenia, apple, jasmine, musk, vanilla
  • Forms: Eau de Parfum, solid perfume

One Cosmo editor says: "Sh*tty Day was my favorite NOYZ perfume, until they came out with Detour. It's the perf balance of florals, fruit, and a bit of musk. The art on the bottle is exactly what i envision when I spritz it—a dreamy drive through a countryside with tons of gardens and flowers."—JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR
