A closer look at Tom Ford Noir EDP
Noir EDP comes from Tom Ford. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €207. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Botanicae Matin A Mogador and Gisada Ambassador Intense but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by powdery and fresh spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and powdery smells and notes like tuscan iris and indonesian patchouli leaf. Less obvious notes include caraway, black pepper and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 4.12 out of 5.
More from Tom Ford
The house has 76 perfumes here, led by Tuscan Leather, Mandarino Di Amalfi and Soleil Neige.
Noir longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like indonesian patchouli leaf and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Botanicae Matin A Mogador and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan spread further.
Noir for work or evenings
It works in the day and at night.
