Noir

Noir is the men’s eau de parfum Tom Ford launched in 2012 in his Signature line, composed by Olivier Gillotin. The designer calls it enigmatic, complex and surprising: an oriental in which bergamot and verbena open onto rose, geranium and iris, ahead of a base of patchouli, vetiver, vanilla and civet.

Tom Ford launched Noir in 2012, the third men’s fragrance in his Signature line according to Now Smell This. The designer presents it as enigmatic, complex and surprising, and perhaps the most personal fragrance he had created up to then.

Two sides of a man

Tom Ford describes Noir as an oriental that captures the two faces of the Tom Ford man: the refined one everyone knows, and the intriguing seducer of private life. Shortlist sees it as a modern take on the traditional oriental, in a concentrated eau de parfum.

Formats

The eau de parfum came out in 50 and 100 ml, at 90 and 124 dollars in the United States according to Now Smell This, and at 60 and 75 pounds in the United Kingdom according to Shortlist.

What critics say

Victoria, on Bois de Jasmin, gives four stars to this polished, dramatic oriental; Kevin, on Now Smell This, likes its opening and drydown but finds its heart awkward, to the point of recommending Jicky instead.
