Dark, brooding rose
I hardly expected to find love on the tube in London...but my heart missed a beat!

The tube is a good place to encounter smells, but usually they are not the pleasant kind....this time I got lucky! A striking, long-limbed, beautiful black woman was sitting not far from me. She was captivatingly beautiful in an androgenous, artsy, Shoreditch way.

I was deep in conversation with my boyfriend when my head snapped round, my nose on full twitch... a stunning deep, treacly, oud rose with a woodsy twist filled my nostrils. The dark bottle she was holding was unmistakably Tom Ford.....but which??!! Poor girl. I hope I didn't come across as too much of a perfume psycho.

I received a beautiful bottle of Noir de Noir this birthday - some love from my love. To me this is a scent of real, deep love. Not first love or infatuation, not maternal love, nor passionate love, but intense, romantic love. Beautiful. Timeless.

The scent is blended to perfection & smells like liquid gold pouring over molten woods & love letters scattered with the darkest of rose petals. The oud is present, but not over-powering & the deep, ambery sweetness is tempered by some patch-love & an earthy herbal twist. I am an oriental-lover & chypres can sometimes turn my stomach, but when they are done well I tend to adore them. Noir is mixed perfectly.

Great sillage & lasting power - but not to the point of vulgarity. Just enough evolution & interest to keep you on your toes but not so much as to be loud, unclassy or confused. Inky black with a touch of scarlet, flecked with gold leaf. “The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.”

A dark beauty & a real heart-stealer.

Noir de Noir by Tom Ford
Noir de Noir is part of the Tom Ford Private Blend collection. It might be of interest to those of you who love a layered rose scent. It starts off with an opening that is very much about saffron. Noir de Noir is smoothly blended, so much so that the saffron is mildly detected under the sweet rising heart note of semi-sweet chocolate. There is a bit of an alcohol wave here that is like a candied dark liqueur, warm and smooth. Once the liqueur sensation gives way, Noir de Noir opens up to a brooding, dark rose and truffle scent. The heart notes take their time settling in, and it isn't until the dry-down that you can appreciate the blending of the vanilla, rose, truffle and chocolate hovering over a slightly earthy patchouli. There was some confusion by Noir de Noir in the beginning by its imposing dark and mysteriously sweet personality. This fragrance walks a fine line as being unisex and is just a tad more feminine that Tom Ford would like you to believe. Sample first, but it might be love at it first sniff.

~ Noir Neutral ~
~ I have never read reviews or watched video opinions on this TF before other than what I have seen on forum replies and the chain of notes above. I have this on my arm now as I type and I am completely neutral in my initial impression of testing. Of course I get the rose, chocolate (and red wine perhaps?) and it appears to remain the same and linear in the last two hours I have worn it. It is a touch sweet as I am getting more vanilla but perhaps too rich for the type of scent I usually enjoy. The dominant rose here no doubt will be the redeeming factor for my final opinion because I do enjoy florals. It definitely smells well blended and like it's price tag, expensive! My initial impression is this could be worn by a mature, elegant, confident woman or a man of the same but not just any man. He would need to be well dressed and well spoken and with this sprayed on his lapel would be complete!
Kind Regards, Plat ~
- I have seen this mentioned in "sexy scent" threads but to my nose this is more about power and magnetism in a bottle!

As of 2021 .... STILL the Best Tom Ford Creation
When Tom Ford created the private blend line i wonder sometimes what did he envision. I've noticed that many people that dont assosiate themselves with the fragrance world find Tom Ford's fragrances "weird" .I feel like its their way of saying they are over done. Thats the thing with TF ,fragrances with rich notes, and amazing blends of ingredients that you would never imagine they would match.Fragrances that with time change as more notes pop out as the day goes by. But here we have Noir De Noir the prime example of an amazing blend ! The rose ...the saffron ...the truffle , I have yet to find something better.Black Orchid parfum came close with the truffle ,but nope Noir De Noir remains the king .Silage and Longevity is something we do not need to talk about ,its incredible,this fragrance lasts all day and projects to a 2-3 foot range for 8 hours at least. The scent on the other hand is something addictive that makes me want to take more sniffs so I can absorb and comprehend all its notes ,the analogies and what stands out to me the most .For about 1 hour all I can smell is the Saffron ,hints of Truffle and Rose and with the combination of floral notes. After that ,all the hints i mentioned pop out more with the oud and vanilla setting in and making it a more intimate fragrance .In my opinion its one of the best Unisex Fragrances. Sometimes I wish it was moved to the signature line so it could recieve a revamped parfum version .I really like its DNA and with a modern take i believe it could be a major hit on the market .

a modern rose for the modern nose
Looking at the list of notes here, I expected Noir de Noir to be an earthy gem built on moss, oud and patchouli, with some full-bodied rose for balance, and a little saffron adding exotic interest to the top notes. Instead, what I find here is just about the exact opposite of that: a sweet, sheer, unobtrusive floriental built mostly on a natural smelling rose note and some gentle vanilla. Earthy it is not.

Noir de Noir pairs rose and vanilla beautifully, and carries from top to base a hint of ever-so-slightly tart fruit that doesn't seem to be explained by the notes listed here. It is lovely, and is what all smooth and pleasant rose/vanilla collaborations should aspire to. Rochas Tocade *wishes* it were Noir de Noir. :-)

Rose is a note that I seem to enjoy most when it plays a subordinate or supportive role within a bustling ensemble. Chanel No. 19 comes to mind. Which is why I was hoping the patchouli, oud and moss would be louder in Noir de Noir, much, much louder.

For anyone madly in love with la diva Rose, however, I think it's a must-try. It's not your grandma's or your mama's rose perfume. It's young and hip and au courant.

One of Jacques Cavallier’s masterpieces. Very unisex, masculine leaning. Performance is bad on newer batches. 3-4 hours of longevity.

Classic early 2010’s westernized (fake) oud & rose with a truffle twist. Smells dated. Fake oud is passé. We’re better than this now.

A legendary floriental. Dark rose with some choco-patchouli. Earthy and really charismatic. I call more masculine, but perfectly unisex.

Top tier Tom Ford, most don't come close. Bold, rich and sexy dark rose perfume, with a bit of unisex weight from oud/patchouli. Phenomenal

If you just think of this as a rose and not an oud, this is pretty darn good. But I mean, it's Tom effin' Ford. He does fake really well.

This is really something special. Specially the drydown when the florals meet oud, vanilla and saffron. Really seductive juice. Head turner.

Oud and spices, skillfully staged by vanilla and chocolaty patchouli. Truffle note surprises positively. Tom Ford-DNA is good to smell.
