Description
Tom Ford's Noir de Noir is a compellingly dark and luxurious fragrance that masterfully balances contrasting elements. It opens with a distinctive saffron note, quickly giving way to a rich heart of black rose and earthy truffle, intertwined with other delicate floral nuances. As it settles, a warm and sensual base of patchouli, vanilla, oud, and oakmoss emerges, creating a deep, enveloping, and slightly gourmand finish. This scent is a sophisticated exploration of duality, blending traditionally feminine florals with masculine earthiness for a truly captivating experience.
Perfumers: Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Harry Fremont, and Olivier Cresp
