''Noa Noa'' is a travelogue written by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin during his first trip to Tahiti. The title, which translates to "fragrant" in Tahitian, reflects Gauguin's attempt to escape "civilization" and "everything that is artificial and conventional." The manuscript was penned around 1893–1894 but was not published until 1901, several years after Gauguin's initial voyage to the South Pacific island in 1891. The text is a blend of autobiographical narrative, travel diary, and philosophical musing, accompanied by woodcuts that Gauguin crafted to illustrate the Tahitian environment and culture he experienced.

In ''Noa Noa'', Gauguin documents his search for a primitive paradise where he could create pure, "primitive" art. He describes his immersion into the local culture, his romanticized encounters with the Tahitian people, and his evolving artistic philosophy. The work is notable for its exoticism and for the way it reflects Gauguin's complex relationship with Tahiti—a place he idealized as an untouched Eden while also grappling with the realities of colonial influence and his own role as an outsider.

The authenticity and accuracy of ''Noa Noa'' have been the subject of much scholarly debate. Critics argue that Gauguin's account is heavily romanticized and self-aggrandizing, often portraying himself as a savior or enlightened figure among the Tahitians. The work is also seen as an important document of the primitivist movement in art, which was characterized by a fascination with non-Western cultures and the belief that these societies possessed a more fundamental connection to nature and the spiritual world.

''Noa Noa'' is considered an essential piece of Gauguin's oeuvre, providing insight into his artistic process and the cultural context of his most famous Tahitian paintings. It remains a controversial text, as it intertwines genuine appreciation for Tahitian culture with the problematic aspects of primitivism and colonial attitudes of the time.
