Evening, cold weather, one spray. This projects hard and lasts all night — do not over-apply.
The drydown
- Top
Cardamom · Ginger · Nutmeg · Mandarin
Warm and spiced, sweeter from the first spray than its predecessor Noir.
- Heart
Rose · Fir Resin
Rich and slightly green, keeping the sweetness from tipping into dessert.
- Base
Vanilla · Sandalwood · Amber · Tonka Bean · Patchouli
Thick and gourmand, the finish this fragrance is actually famous for.
The vanilla fragrance for people who claim to hate vanilla
Noir Extreme took the original's spice-and-wood structure and pushed the vanilla and tonka until it became a genuinely different fragrance, not just a stronger version.
It's the one I recommend to someone who wants Tom Ford's sweetness without going all the way to Tobacco Vanille's dessert-cart intensity.
Vanilla with a spine, which is rarer than it should be.
Verdict: One spray is a lot. That's the whole review.
