Noir Extreme by Tom Ford Eau de Parfum For Women, 50ml

Product Information

Tom Ford launched Noir Extreme Parfum in 2022 and it has become one of my favourites from the Signature Collection. Instantly, the word ‘Parfum’ and mirrored gold bottle made me expect something big and bold.

At the heart of the fragrance is tantalizing Indian kulfi—an accord inspired by the ancient royal concoction prepared for 16th century Mughal emperors. This milky creation, which traditionally consists of Himalayan snow combined with hints of pistachio, is delivered unexpectedly into the core of the fragrance via lentisque resinoid, which is chosen for its crisp & cool, yet lactonic effect. An array of floral notes—rose absolute, jasmine accord and orange flower—radiate like rare gems on virgin snow. This heart gives Noir Extreme its exceedingly desirable, yet tantalizingly unknowable, attractiveness. Although they’re very different colognes, they come out as equals when it comes to the Tom Ford Noir vs. Noir Extreme performance. Both are prestigious fragrances made of high-quality ingredients that linger on for hours. You can expect both Noir and Noir Extreme to remain noticeable for up to eight hours. Noir Extreme and Noir Extreme Parfum are classed as woody-amber fragrances on paper. But, when you compare them, they have key differences that are worth noting.

When you first open the bottle, you’ll be surprised by just how powdery and even dusty the Noir is. It immediately cuts through the air, providing simultaneously oriental and crisp scent. You’ll first be hit by notes of bright bergamot and lemon verbena, with hints of pink pepper.

Noir Extreme captures the daring, opulent side of the Noir man. He knows his desires, his vices, and what brings him pleasure and relishes in the indulgence of it. It is this private side he reserves for himself, at its maximum expression.”– TOM FORD The Scents: Noir Extreme and Noir Extreme Parfum both hero the amber note for its sensuality and the Indian Kulfi Accord for its nutty sweetness. But to me, I find original Noir Extreme less spicy and more gourmand. Whereas Noir Extreme Parfum spices the whole thing up with fiery ginger. Noir Extreme Parfum also has tonka bean, which, unbeknown to many, has addictive, creamy, chocolate-like qualities. If you thought Noir Extreme wasn’t enough for you, the Parfum will be. Dramatic, elegant, and magnetic, it’s the perfect blend of the most sensual fragrances. It’s dark and woody, warm and smooth, and most certainly your next go-to fragrance. What does Tom Ford Noir Extreme smell like?Tom Ford Noir was designed to capture the essence of the modern man’s dual persona – his outer, sophisticated urban aspect and his private, sensual nature. According to Mr. Ford, Noir is “perhaps [his] most personal fragrance yet.” Noir was the first part of the story, and this was created to show the dual sides of man’s personality: conformed and rebellious. When Noir Extreme launched and took centre stage, that fragrance focused more on a man’s non-conformed, carnal side. Now, Noir Extreme dives deeper and depicts when the pressures and pleasures get to boiling point, and it’s typical Tom Ford – a masterpiece.

The bottle feels heavy, which is a sign of luxury. The art deco lines are imprinted around the cap, and down the sides of the bottle. Look closer, and you’ll see ‘T’ and ‘F’ engraved on each side – according to experts, Tom Ford did this to echo the Noir Extreme story of two sides to every man. You can find out a few more things Team Escentual have learnt from Tom Ford experts with our guide to the brand: Noir Extreme Parfum lastest around 12 hours on my skin, and hours later, I could still smell it in my hair when I went to bed. When I sprayed my wool jumper (as I knew I wouldn’t wash it as frequently) I could still smell it a week later. In my opinion, yes, Noir Extreme Parfum is unisex. Due to the spicy sensuality, I know all genders enjoy it, particularly more men than women, which makes sense. Sometimes I feel Noir Extreme Eau de Parfum has more of a feminine side out of the two due to its softer, more floral composition. That said, all Tom Ford perfumes have blurred the gender lines. I have male and female friends that wear it and neither care; they love the scent. Only a few short years after Noir hit the scene, Noir Extreme edition was introduced. Milky and citrusy, musky and sweet, Noir Extreme is designed for a man who “relishes in immoderation and dares to be extraordinary.” How Tom Ford Noir and Noir Extreme perform depends entirely on how you apply and wear them. The rich, oriental Tom Ford Noir is best applied on the wrists.

Tom Ford Noir is the perfect men’s fragrance that can’t but get noticed even after the tiniest spritz. What does Tom Ford Noir smell like?

TOM FORD Noir Extreme opens on a devastatingly rich blend of spicy heat and glowing citrus. Dextrous brushstrokes of mandarin oil, neroli oil & North Africa orpur® provide sharp contrast to the vibrant, synergistic blend of saffron, cardamom & Nutmeg. This creates the charismatic aura of a man who is accustomed to making an extraordinary impression.I love Noir Extreme’s inspiration; it’s all about the darker side of passion and the inability to control impulses. At the very base, you’ll finally start to get the overpowering scent of deep amber, musky patchouli, masculine leather, and the sweet, sweet vanilla.
