Noir de Noir
by Tom Ford
Noir de Noir is a rich, dark, and sensual fragrance that opens with a velvety burst of black rose, spiced saffron, and deep chocolate truffle. The heart unfolds with an earthy, gourmand embrace of patchouli and vanilla, hinting at dried fruit and warm woodiness, while the oud gives a subtle, resinous depth. Its sophisticated balance makes it feel both opulent and intimate, with a dry down that lingers with a soft, slightly sweet, woody-vanilla finish. It's a deeply atmospheric, unisex scent that leans more mature and evening-oriented, drawing inspiration from gothic romance and luxurious decadence, making it ideal for those who appreciate complexity, depth, and a touch of mystery in their fragrance.
