Noir Extreme Parfum

The batman comment below me is on point. Noir Extreme is the perfect name. A slightly chocolatey darkness. If this had better projection it'd be perfect. It starts with intimate projection and stays that way..

You’re Bruce Wayne waking up in the middle of the night after a one-night stand in Gotham. In a dimly lit hotel room, you gently move their hand from your waist as traces of sweet cologne & sweat linger in the air. You switch on the bedside lamp, put your suit and tie back on, and quietly slip out the door into the night, and get back to work. That’s Noir Extreme Parfum. One of the sexiest intimate scents ever made. This one smells great on clothes

This is really not for beginners. You need to understand the complexity and development of the dry down to decide if you like it or not. I always make fun of those duty free buyers that spray on a piece of paper and wait 1 minute to decide if they like a perfume or not. Again, this is NOT for beginners. Cheers

the greatest single winter fragrance ever. no fucking contest at all. masterpiece

By far my favorite fragrance of all time and one of the only frags that I think justifies its price. You can get a 50ml from anywhere from $80-110 or a 100ml from ~$100 to $160, you just have to be proactively looking for deals (in the US). So compared to other Tom Ford frags it's a decent amount cheaper than more popular ones. I do fear that TF will discontinue this based on the slow dropping of the price over the past year or so, or at least reformulate it, but it's fantastic (to me). I think people are under representing the longevity of this scent, because on skin it will easily last 2-3 DAYS if you're stinky and don't bathe (and even then it's still noticeable after a shower), but on fabric or any other material? This shit will last WEEKS, or even MONTHS. I have a card that I sprayed it with back in February that STILL radiates scent within it's proximity, but I'd be careful with anything white or light colored because this is real oil and WILL stain. Scent is pretty subjective and you'll either love it or be indifferent to it, so I'd just recommend smelling it for yourself. I would rarely recommend paying full price for a designer, but this is my personal exception I do not think anywhere could easily dupe this scent, much less match the quality for a reasonable price.

So happy to finally have this in my collection this is the epitome of sexy 10 out of 10 for me I know you can wear it for other situations and occasions but this is the king of date night or night out dress to impress anyone gets a sniff of this can only say damn

sacrifices sweetness for performance, more animalic and powdery, much prefer the edp but still nice

Bought a partial of about 30ml left so very scared to use it. So off of my singular usage i could say its simply sweet sexy aftershave in a good way. The brightness goes away and becomes much darker in the dry down and also the cardamom gets stronger. Very nice and absolutely phenomenal for date nights. I don't get the leather tho

I've gone nose blind to this scent because of how much I've used it. Always accidentally overspray and people often say I have a distinctive nice smell when I was using it as a daily in the winter time. It should be used as a winter or nighttime fragrance. It is the longest lasting fragrance I've ever experienced. On an active day I spray it on my arm at 7am and it will still be on when going to sleep that night. Seems like the only thing that gets it off is sleeping in bed or showering. Although I can safely say this is my favourite designer fragrance, I believe it is overpriced. In Canada I've seen it go for as high as $390 for the 100mL option. If you really want it, try to look at different places online and maybe go for the 50mL option. Despite that it is still a 10/10 fragrance. It's one of those investments you make for your appearance in your professional career that lasts several years, just like your nice watch and suit. If you don't like strong masculine fragrances, this isn't for you.

tonka bomb, a little bit of leather and a little bit of vetvier-y butthole. it’s a good thing I REALLY like tonka. reminds me of raisin bread

Concerning performance, I've learned that Tom Fords Noir Extreme Parfum contains 25% Perfume Oils. Which is very high in Perfumery, making it a "Parfum" or lower grade "Extrait De Parfum". This means that while we may think a fragrance at this concentration doesnt have great performance, it actually does. Our perception is due to the high concentraition of Perfume Oils, from which we quickly go "Nose Blind" to. Parfums & Extrait De Parfums are not meant to loudly project. They're meant to last longer, smell more full bodied, waft as we subtly move, & leave a lingering scent trail as we walk. However, If its projection you want, I get the best projection from Noir Extreme Parfum on Spring & Summer nights with temperatures between 60 & 75 degrees. Reason why is because the heat acts as a catalyst, enhancing projection & allowing base notes to diffuse faster, creating a stronger, more potent scent cloud all around you. The down side is you're only going to get about 6 hours wearing this on Spring & Summer nights. But if you're wearing it out on a date you wont need it pushing any longer than that anyway. ... If you're wearing it to the Club you can just spray your clothes, in which it still performs better & lasts longer in warm weather, but you'll also be in a temperature controlled environment so it will last longer.

is it just me or its similar to spicebomb?

I was super hyped for this, and I tried it today It was a little disappointed. I will say that my hand felt dry i didn't put on lotion, and it was a hotter day today so it didn't shine in the cold. It smells really good, but all i could smell was spicy cardamom, vanillic nuances and very smooth blend of leather. It’s almost like all the notes are blended so good that i could only pick up 3 and that’s with an experienced nose. After 30min i could pick up the kulfi note, and the fragrance felt a little more complex. It definitely is addictive though I can’t lie. Longevity wasn’t the best on me unfortunately , 5 hours max and between moderate to strong projection. Edit: On clothes this is insane! i sprayed 2 days ago on my hand and it hit my jacket a little and wearing it again i got in a friend’s car and she tells me “whatever it is you put too much on” I was shocked!! Update 2#: Bought it. It's absolutely better in cold weather for me. isn't a loud projector but in closed spaces you will be noticed.

I grabbed a sample of this after discovering my beloved Pour Femme was discontinued. I was curious how close this and Noir were to it. The leather, suede, heavier wood, and ginger is an interesting twist on the Noir base. It pulls more masculine and is a gourmand that almost seems embarrassed to admit it. Still no flowers or citrus on my skin. It is farther away from Pour Femme than Noir, which is a bummer, and neither are exactly what that was. This is even colder on the temperature spectrum despite the warm amber and vanilla. I think the leather and ginger make this less sweet. It still is sweet, but not as edible. Still, this is a very nice fragrance that is dark and rich.

This has no business being so sickeningly good … I’ve had it in my collection for more than four years and accidentally sprayed it rushing out for a night out in the autumn. Damn, it’s dark and unapologetically sexy… the cardamom, suede and Tonka are so beautifully complimentary and this is why I will always love the art of perfumery …. Give it a try if youre looking for something deep and sexy

This doesn’t smell like an ashtray. It smells like an Indian grocery shop. That’s not a sleight, it’s just not for me. It’s stacks of incense, piles of packaged masala blends, and shelves of Chandrika and Mysore Sandal soaps.

Tom Ford’s perfumes are renowned for their distinctive scent profiles, and Noir Extreme Parfum is no exception. However, it does not resonate with my personal preferences. It is a dark, spicy, oriental, sweet gourmand fragrance. I don’t get any kind of freshness from it, and when you first spray it on, it opens with a captivating cardamom note that reminds me of La Nuit de L’homme albeit, to a small degree, and it is a bit freshened up thanks to the ginger. Subsequently, the kulfi note takes over, and persists throughout the fragrance’s duration. The cardamon note gradually fades into the background and the kulfi note is complemented with a combination of leather, tonka and vanilla. Regrettably, the fragrance on my skin becomes excessively sweet, and the vanilla comes off overly potent for my personal preference. It is advisable that one samples this fragrance before making a purchase. As for wearability, it is unisex, and mainly a fragrance suited for cold weather. I believe anyone in any age group can use it. The projection is moderate, and it doesn’t overpower the senses, but it lingers on you as a skin scent throughout the workday. I’d say it can be pulled off in both casual, and formal occasions.

Opening smelled like poop, not analogy but feaces like In a diaper

Forget about Tuscan Leather and the Ombre Leathers - Noir Extreme Parfum is THE Tom Ford leather fragrance. More wearable, inviting, seductive and complex than the others. It is decidedly a colder weather fragrance and best suited for nights. That said, it is pleasant enough to wear to work as long as you go easy on the sprays. Noir Extreme Parfum can shine on special occasions, dates or anywhere that you want to be the best smelling guy in the area.

My mom says it smells like baby powder. I think it's rather sweet and powdery, really pretty honestly. My dad says there is a smoky layer to it, just not ashtray or cigarette like some people experienced here. I'm not sure if I would wear this very often, it's a little bit gourmand however it's not like an American style sweet, the kulfi is loud and clear here. I'm surprised at how much I don't notice the copious orange notes, it isn't fruity whatsoever! Very interesting for sure.

I just had to take it off my wantlist after picking up an ashtray note from it. Bought Noir Extreme EDP instead as this is a near perfect fragrance for me.

Smells like myrrh (both burnt and just stored) of a small church in a sunny forest, tenderly sweetened with vanilla and kulfi—on the background of leather, wood, and some warm spices. This scent just works, I don't know. The descriptions sound somewhat pathetic, but I haven't tried any other fragrance yet that could bring exactly this experience.

This fragrance is absolutely magical. I have a special bond with it because it’s my first ever Tom Ford, and basically the beginning of my fragrance hobby. I bought it upon first sniff, choosing it over Black Orchid and Ombre Leather, and even though Black Orchid later became my darling, this one is definitely so beautiful. The suede makes it very smooth, but it doesn’t strike me as a ‘leather’ fragrance, but it’s more something that I would see somewhere in the gourmand realm, with the beautiful kulfi and vanilla notes. Maybe it doesn’t smell photo-realistic, the way that a lot of newer gourmand fragrances smell, but damn, it definitely does smell edible and delicious. The color of the bottle fits the fragrance, I feel, more than the ‘noir’ name.

Absolutely fantastic... If you want to smell like a homeless covered in cigarette ash. Pure cigarettes and ashtray. No vanilla. No Suede. Filthy leather couch and a packet of Camels. Overpriced and overrated. Vile. K Bye.

You can't go wrong with that.

This is a great scent, opens spicier than the EDP, and becomes pretty similar. Projects well for an hour or 2. The balance of warmth, spice, and vanilla facets remains great Unfortunately for me, this is very faint after the 3rd hr. Becoming a very light skin scent between 2 and 3 hours in me, very similar in longevity to the EDP. Shame as I was hoping the parfum would give better performance but alas despite the scent being great (not a surprise, given I like the other) the performance might even be a bit worse on me. May require more testing.

Very sweet vanilla with leather with some spices, especially cardamon. Woody, almost smoky, dense and thick fragrance. Best occasion for this is Christmas. It just smells like the niche version of every sweet you can think of when you say "winter". Great longevity, moderate projection, which is a bit weird to me, due to all the strong notes.

I got this fragrance for the first time 2 years ago - At first it didn’t last but after around 2 weeks and being light with applying I started noticing a shift. I could apply it, go out, smell my own scent at the bar, wake up the next morning, jump in the shower and still smell like that almost cinnamon bun but with lots of vanilla smell (in sweden we often use cardammon in cinnamon buns) it didn’t carry that spicy cardammon all the way but hints stayed. I would get that extremely smooth vanilla with amazing edible leather. I hate leather in fragrances especially in things like Babycat or Bdk Vanille leather. But this one is done right. The leather carries the vanilla and the gourmandness and sexyness a long time making them the star of the show whilst giving it that sexy get up close element. I have tried a lot of different fragracnes trying to find someone that can do this without just rebuying. But the mass appealing with the quality i have not been able to find. Great fragrance, love it. Will rebuy every year

An absolute masterpiece—dripping with sensuality and luxury. This fragrance wears so masculine on me, my skin really amps up the leather. But the florals are so expertly blended, and I would love to smell this on a woman as well. The neroli and jasmine really come through to my nose, and I love those florals. The spices and citruses play supporting roles to the florals before it dries down to the leather. The kulfi and vanilla lend some creaminess to it as well. It has a bit of animalic funk hiding in the background as well—just enough to add interest without offense. It's absolutely modern, but makes a statement. You won't smell like everyone else with this fragrance. Smelling it puts me into such a positive, confident—even erotic headspace. It's expensive but worth every penny.

Creamy and spicy with leathery touches. Mellowed out by slight florals and a vanilla backbone. A touch powdery, but not overbearing. My new cold weather holiday scent.
