My First Tom Ford

My first Tom Ford, almost even my last.
Puhhh, does that smell bad, is that caraway? I hate caraway,
well, that's what happens when you make a blind buy. It could also be vervain. It literally smelled disgusting. No, did I make a mistake?
I was so frustrated: it was really so terrible it just smelled like a stinky old man. I wanted to return it immediately. I already regret it, it wasn't cheap either, so even worse...

But wait! Is that rose? Is that vanilla? Is that sage? Suddenly I could smell more, because the stinky note had almost completely faded after 15 to 20 minutes. I can still smell it, but since it's now weaker, it fits with the rose, the vanilla, and the iris. It keeps getting better and better, really almost very good. Suddenly my anger is gone.

And then I was like in a haze...
I imagined a man in a tuxedo, he likes to wear leather shoes and looks damn hot, he’s not a playboy, nobody knows him, but everyone wants to get to know him. But he wants something else, what does he actually want? Power? Money? Or just attention? Definitely everything at once. He actually already has everything a man needs, right? Unfortunately not...
To be honest, he lacks a certain freshness or a fruity note. He is more suitable for night activities, so not really for me? Maybe, but maybe not? Hmmm?
Nevertheless, one should only buy the scent if one can endure the caraway note and the vervain every time anew. Although it becomes really great later on, I don’t have to put myself through that, so it will initially just stay on the shelf until it’s gone.
Before I forget, I almost didn’t want to buy any more Tom Fords because of the Noir. But luckily, dear Mr. Ford has other great fragrances...
P.S. The Noir Extreme is amazing, not similar at all.
Best regards, Batuhan

Genauso sehe ich das auch, bzw. meine Nase riecht es genauso. Der Noir Extreme ist der Oberhammer... richtig edel. Der Noir hat null mit dem zu tun, riecht staubtrocken und eher unschön. Ich weis welche Note Du da meinst.
