Noir Extreme

Warm, complex and divine

Date night wingman. It's heavier than Noir and extremely welcoming and inoffensive.

I yoinked this from my ex husband. I accidentally sprayed it near my clothes, and let me tell you, when I woke up the next morning, the first thing that hit my nose was this beautiful, intoxicating, delicious, and incredibly unique scent. I literally searched for the source of the smell like a K9 narcotics dog, and it was this perfume! The first few sprays might smell masculine, but once it settles, it becomes completely unisex. Both men and women can easily rock it. Sometimes I layer it with white floral perfumes when I want it to lean more feminine, and it gives me a rain of compliments. I honestly believe this is a hidden gem for women, especially because it is marketed as a men's fragrance. After around 30 minutes, it turns into this gorgeous creamy, gourmand, woody scent. I don't really believe perfumes have genders anyway, but even if we talk in stereotypes, I wouldn't automatically consider creamy woodsy vanilla gourmand perfume as a masculine. It’s just dark and spicy, with a somewhat slightly aromatic edge. And if you’re a man considering buying this perfume, it also smells hot af on men. A chameleon perfume. Truly unisex. The perfume adapts to you, not the other way around. Nu-uhh never judge a perfume by it's opening and name alone.

I know this is marketed as unisex, but for me this is a female scent. To my nose this smells like smooth coffee beans , with a lipstick smell, and some cinnamon spices.

Way too sweet for everyday wear, but this would be great for a date night, especially in cooler weather. Could work for both sexes. The cardamom, kulfi, vanilla, and orange blossom are most apparent. While sillage is moderate, longevity is truly impressive--I sprayed it on skin a few hours before bed and it was still easily noticeable the next morning. Good value for the price.

Disagree with people calling it as sweet as SWY intensely. This does NOT reach those levels of sweetness. It's a darker, more elegant, more formal and date night-ish type of sweetness. To my nose, no note dominates this, pretty well balanced.

This and the Parfum are masterpieces. This one is a little more versatile because it it a little lighter without more of the tobacco note. I love them both. For most, having both would be redundant. For me this is an easy fall winter wear, could go light on a spring day as well. I'll always have a bottle.

Dont care if this is a guy fragrance. Im wearing it. Thankful the saffron is minimal. But its there that slightly metallic thing going on that makes me think lf when you accidentally touch aluminum to a metal filling.

I got way too much cinnamon and clove from this scent. Spicy, dark, but with a vanillic sweetness on it too, and it has a DNA that’s anything but unique. The warm spices + saffron and generous vanilla formula that’s been trending lately is present here as well. Let’s say it’s warming enough to be wearable in winter months. Didn’t really pull me in though. Tag(s): sweet, spicy vanilla, saffron

Smells great, TERRIBLE performance. This may be the all time worst value perfume out there. Hard pass.

Smell like a desert

First impression: Very warm and a little weathered. Like a wooden cupboard with spices at your grandma's house. The dominant note is nutmeg, with rose and a sweet resin-like aroma lingering in the background. Later: The scent loses some of the previously implied... dustiness (?). It's noticeably sweeter now, with creamy vanilla and sun-warmed woods at the forefront. Overall: Initially, the fragrance can be a little overwhelming. After you let it sit on your skin for a bit, it becomes more creamy and sweet, but still very discernible. I couldn't detect any of the citrus notes, which in this case I didn't mind, as they don't really align with the image this fragrance evokes for me. Definitely not a blind buy, but I think most would enjoy it.

The first thing I noticed about this fragrance was this milky, powdery smell. I had not even looked at the note breakdown yet, as I often like to do to try now change my initial perception of the fragrance. I also didn't know what Kulfi was until now, but the more you know. I can't help but think of baby milk formula. The dry down is still powdery, but now it's a more sweet & woody. The spices in this are subtle, I can see this being quite mass-appealing.

Stunningly good and incredibly interesting. On immediate spray (and I mean pretty immediate, lasting for probably less than 3-4 minutes), I get a “wet ashtray” note. Strangely, despite the fact that I hate the smell of ashtrays, it isn’t an unpleasant note at all. This soon disappears and is replaced by deliciously sweet, warm oriental spice and smooth woody notes. Longevity is pretty astounding and sillage is what I like to call “sensible”. Superb stuff and a scent I keep going back to.

Noir Extreme smells like my dentist. It smells like when you walk into a department store like Macy's, but like a smell no actual person would want to smell like. There is nothing for me. The projection is insane― beastmode, if you will.

I think it belongs to the same category as tobacco vanilla. It doesn’t have the floral scent of rose or jasmine. 10/10

This is my all-time favorite. It’s so spicy at the start. The spiciness is perfectly balanced, and the kulfi note is one of my favorites. Overall, it has this incredible vanilla sweetness. The kulfi note really comes through—at least on my skin—and the base notes are simply an amazing combination; it’s one of my favorite fragrances.

This definitely leans strongly male. Really luxurious scent but not drowning; good mix of sweet and spicy but that dry down is exceptional…just blended to perfection. Wore it tonight - cold rainy summer evening here - and it went over well. Of my TF collection it really is a toss up between this and OL as the best in the line. Totally different scents of course.

Holy COW this is by far the best one in the line. Super sexy and more substantial than most designer gourmand scents. The kulfi note really sets it apart.

After my beloved TF Noir pour femme discontinued, I had no choice but wear this one. It works really well for London cold days, I love the vanilla and woody notes. Although the longevity is not great, I don’t like to reapply too much. I love when I press my nose against my clothes or skin and get the most beautiful scent. The dry down is the best part.

A perfectly balanced gourmand, not too in your face but not just giving a hint of nutmeg and vanilla. Some people say it’s not lasting and it totally disagree! it lasts 8-12hr on skin but clothes, days! I recently applied this to my undershirt the night before work and it was still projecting at least at an arms length with the middle and base notes.

In theory, it’s a sexy and attractive fragrance, but it has a strange heaviness to it that I found a bit cloying. And lastly, the performance is pretty meh for the price.

Incredible vanilla gourmand scent. Both genders can wear this imo, if you like gourmands this is a must have.

Perfect balance between sweet and bitter with the bitter being a bit more dominant (cardamom) The cardamom here smells very much like turkish coffee, there's a very obvious coffee note to me, it fluctualtes between that coffee note and some vanillic/toffee like sweetness It's a really nice fragrance, just wish it lasted more than 30 minutes before it completely dissipates

A 🍫 dark chocolatey 1 million prive. Bye.

I respect this fragrance a lot, it opens like it wants to be one of my favorites and the first 15 minutes with it but it dries down (on my skin) to a generic and cloyingly sweet vanilla/amber thing. The spices on the front end are genuinely incredible. It's good enough that I want to give it another chance even though those base notes are very much not my thing. I envy those who can wear this well.

After 2 years of collecting, this is still my top frag. I can tell that Tuberculosis Oxcart is the kind of person who reviews frags he's never tried and counts 2ml samples as bottles in his collection. He's not just a tool, he's whole shed.

This is the best perfume I’ve ever used in my life. I wear it every single day, all year round. I believe everyone has that one soulmate perfume… and this one is mine. Update: I would only skip it during summer, where something fresher makes more sense.

Hate or love it, this right here is a monumental fragrance. Noir Extreme is probably single handly responsible for all the departments store clutter you see nowadays. All the legions of overpriced warm semi sweet gourmand slop with caps of a toe fracturing weight. Noir Extreme did what all these others try to do(a versatile almost gourmand) before the sweetness wars kicked off with headache inducing WMD aroma chemicals. NE is constructed well with nods to middle eastern olfactive sensibilities while still being a firmly Western catered fragrance that's easy to wear.

Jesus, this house is over rated. Noir is defined as a genre of crime fiction and film characterized by cynical attitudes, moral ambiguity, and often bleak settings. Suggestive of danger or violence. There is none of that here. This is at best a middling white floral with a little almond hiding in the background. Got to hand it to him though. He sure is good at separating us suckers from our money. This is in no way shape or form a unisex fragrance. This is for women, women who do not like themselves. Definitely in the top five most disappointing fragrances I have tried. Into the bin this dreck goes.
