Charismatic
This perfume is one of my most recent acquisitions and has quickly become one of my favorite perfumes (even using it with temperatures around 20ºC / 68ºF). In Portugal, especially in the southern coastal areas, the temperatures are never very low (it is very rare for temperatures to drop below 10ºC / 50ºF in the peak of winter) so we have to adapt the use of "colder weather" perfumes to mild temperatures for most of the year (just don't overdo the number of sprays).
The first time I tried the Noir Extreme, I wasn't impressed (I liked the smell but the performance left much to be desired, considering the price of this perfume). Later, I tried the Parfum version and, despite the opening notes being a bit strange to me (not in a bad way), it was "love at first smell." I tried it in local stores a couple more times before buying it, and I consider it one of the most charismatic perfumes I have smelled to date. It is not overly sweet and emanates a distinct personality compared to most current perfumes (whether designer or niche). The longevity is quite good too (more than 8 hours), whereas a significant part of my small collection doesn't last long on my skin (especially the perfumes more suited for summer).
