Noir

He had already offered gentlemen Tom Ford For Men in 2007, illustrated around a flashy campaign; this time this new masculine fragrance will be far more muted yet even more complex. Noir exhales a modern, sensual and devilishly elegant man, in the image of Tom Ford's fine personality.

Noir, Tom Ford's most intimate masculine fragrance

Soberly titled Noir, Tom Ford's new masculine fragrance carries us into the complex masculinity of its author, between an elegant sobriety and a distinguished animalic sensuality. Indeed, Tom Ford does not hesitate for a single second to affirm that Noir is certainly the most personal fragrance he has composed alongside Olivier Gillotin.

Noir is enigmatic, complex and surprising. […] Noir may be the most personal fragrance I have created to date, attributed to Tom Ford for Noir.

In a way that is, all things considered, fairly logical, the sparkling designer himself appears as the masculine embodiment of this beautiful fragrance. Far from the campaign that generated so much talk for Tom Ford For Men, one is pleased to discover a visual as well as a video advertisement, both elegant and aesthetic, in which the spotlighted hero is as chic as his muted black-and-white universe.

No one could say whether this rediscovered sobriety for Noir is linked to the Tom Ford costumes created that same year for James Bond; regardless, Noir is certainly one of the Tom Ford fragrances most sought after by gentlemen and most acclaimed by critics for its luxurious, contrasted complexity.

An enigmatic spicy oriental with masculinized floral accents, signed Tom Ford

For this new masculine juice, Tom Ford abandoned the classic bottle of Black Orchid or of the early Tom Ford For Men in favor of a beautiful square glass, cut like a highly masculine block. As one might expect, Noir is... black, but an almost lacquered black, so glossy that it lends it even more presence.

Noir, composed by Olivier Gillotin, opens on a powerful, fresh aromatic surge of lavender, clary sage and verbena punctuated by a bright, tangy bergamot. At the heart, rose comes as a surprise in its splendor, made masculine by a nervy geranium. Nutmeg, caraway and sparkling black pepper bring back a spicy wind tinged with a touch of powdery iris. The woody depths of patchouli, vetiver and amber make their notable entrance. The powerful animalic facets of civet and opoponax complete this marvelous oriental journey with an almost wild sensual force, while surprising one for the last time with a few gourmand touches of vanilla.

Tom Ford Noir is an oriental fragrance that captures the two facets of Tom Ford the man's personality: the refined and sophisticated man known to all, and the intriguing sensuality of the private man, attributed to Tom Ford for Noir.
