Your channel deserves so much more love , i watch a lot of different people for points of view and i have to say this is the top channel in terms of knowledge in my opinion i love to watch you review fragances , keep it up .
Perfect review. I purchased mine in 2016 and you can't get the scent to go even by having a wash and the projection is monstrous. Definitely with the batch I've got I have to go easy on the sprays as it can be very overpowering to myself as the wearer. 4 sprays max I find lasts forever!
It's one of my favourites. It's strength comes when mixing with my skin chemistry and when it blends with a bit of sweat, it's just divine and so seductive.
Top 3 of all time. To me this rose is unlike any other rose I’ve come across.. and I think that needs to be addressed because it is a unique selling point. Definitely get a red wine and chocolate vibe.. the fragrance had layer upon layer of mystique.. really beautiful dark and seductive. I place this as #1 for Tom Ford, followed by tobacco vanille and noir extreme
I tried this fragrance when it first came out ,, nice smell but didn’t project enough for me I like a beast of a fragrance for that sort of money . Nice review as always Aaron .
My God, you are hypnotic!! The sensuality of the way you describe fragrances is incredible. I think I have to watch it again, I was totally distracted 😂
Love this perfume, very nice chocolatey vanilla like milky smell and lasts on my skin 8-10hrs... got lots of compliments from people though other users have complained its longevity and projection has been an issue but still smells beautiful!.... I ain't complaining cos usually I'm buzzing and feel happy after spraying it!.... Thanks for the Review Aaron!
Love this one. I always get a milk chocolate mixed with rose smell from it. It’s been reformulated a few times since it’s original release & isn’t as punchy or long lasting as it used to be. I still have a 250ml decanter of the original formulation which i use sparingly (when i first bought it this was £250 for 250ml - talk about inflation!!)
This honestly smells amazing and I knew it would be more your style, but I agree with you on pricing, it really lacks performance and that’s what will probably always keep it from my collection. It’s always reminded me of onyx, but like a weak timid interpretation. And somehow more expensive lol. Loved the review 👍
I had decent performance but nothing compared to how people described it 3 years ago. I get 5-9 hours which is meh to great. My girlfriend gets 8-10, more if it ends up on her clothes. She has small pores so fragrances also have more sillage with her.
Just got a bottle for Christmas. Radiates off of me. Spray it in the morning and can still smell it when I wake up. Always find in mind blowing how fragrances act so differently on people. Masterpiece even if performance lacks for some people.
Yea I thought it’s weak (and compared to black orchid it is) but I then bought aventus, THATS weak and Noir de noir is way stronger, it lasts on me and my skin drinks fragrance. It’s a top 10 for me and the scent is amazing.
Thank you Aaron for reviewimg my favorite fragrance ever. -Miami, FL. 🌴 10/10 4 ever! BTW the original release was BEAST MODE! 24+ hours no 1 week on clothes even after wash.
Hi Aaron! How are you? I am fantastic and doing really well. ;) Tried this myself only recently as well. I'm not much of a TF fan, but it's easy to tell that there's talent involved in what he/they put out. Wish I liked more (the one I _did_ like, a lot, was Plum Japonais, but he found out I liked it, so discontinued it of course). BTW, the sound/production/mic is great.
It's beautiful and is powerful and long lasting on my skin. I bought a 100 ml bottle and have no regrets about the price I paid except that maybe I could've paid less per milliliter if I'd bought the 250 ml decanter instead. 🌹😍
What is really interesting are your comments on the price. Many people have commented that your Onyx Extreme (which I absolutely adore have have just purchased a 50ml bottle of) is very similar to this but the Onyx Extreme is even more expensive than this at £210.00 for 50ml. I am guessing that this is down to the very high levels of naturals you are using for the Onyx? Keep up the good work Aaron 😀🦄
How strange that I just subscribed to your channel and then became interested in this particular perfume at the same time. I went back on your channel and saw that you had posted a review an hour ago on the very perfume I just needed a review on. What a convenient coincidence ….
Aaron, have you ever smelled Boisee by Gentlemen Givenchy? I acquired it recently and I adore the smell but I think it might be a little too strong for me. I get this weird feeling in my head when I apply it on my neck. Idk it's weird but I hope you can review it at some point.
My very first TF, love at first sniff for me. Borderline gourmand, very sexy fragrance. I’ve always thought that the truffle accord is chocolate truffle and not the fungus type, which I think is responsible for giving it a dark chocolatey richness to it.
Probably my favourite Tom Ford fragrance. Jeremy Fragrance referred to it as a “chocolate” fragrance in his Tom Ford top 10 list. Did you catch much of the truffle note? Good video as always!
Just watched your video, this is a Top 5 TF to me, I recently bought a 50 ml for $187 from Jomashop, but seeing that the performance is weak kinda worries me but i’ll see when i get it, I am noticing what I call the Estée Lauder Effect, even the Fredric Malle and Le Labo fragrances have gotten really watered down for such an expensive price, a sad time it has become for these once powerful and beautiful fragrances
- this one is a grower- initially not a fan as I smelled rose, chocolate and strong styrofoam, maybe it was the mothball accord you mentioned, which was a turn off- but really enjoy now
HI Aaron! New subscriber to your channel thanks to the education and higher self (I enjoy the talkitive hands!). I actually purchased this since I own the TF Cafe Rose. Just like you, I received a travel sprayer like the one you have. The carrier left it in the mailbox and it is -12c outside. I got impatient as i sprayed it and it was absolutely nauseating. I cannot even gather my thoughts to figure out what exactly it is that I was smelling but needless to say, it was not rose or patchouli or anything that resembles what you are describing. I will try again once it reaches room temperature and I hope for a better experience but yeah, right now it is searing into my nostril and head and leaving a really really bad impression. With that said, keep up the great work! I enjoy the time spent listening to your descriptions of what you are smelling! Update: Thought I would update after I let the Noir de Noir bottle warm up to room temp. Now I smell everything you are describing and the rose notes are there. I smell the Tea/woody note that you are describing. When it was below freezing, it was not pleasant at all. Lesson learned!
How would you compare it to cafe rose? I have noir de noir, which I like, and am thinking of adding cafe rose as the rose/coffee combination sounds interesting. I have briefly sampled it in passing in a department store but can’t recall it too well. Is the sillage/longevity ok?
Great review as always. Got this one, loved it when I bought it couple of years ago. Now I don’t like it anymore. For me it has some similarities with Nasomatto - Pardon which I like a lot at the moment
Great video Mr. Hughes! I wanted to ask something. Do you feel that vanilla is a "trap" in perfumery? And by that I mean do you feel like it's an easy compound to add into a fragrance to add a delightful sweetness to a fragrance and smoothness to the point where perfumers are afraid to use anything else that would otherwise give the same/similar effect. I myself experiment with making fragrances and I am like you I love orientals and dark fragrances. But I always seem to rely on vanilla to round everything off. Do you think it's a creative trap or is vanilla really just that much of a indispensable compound in perfumery that without it our human sensibilities simply cannot do without? Thank you sir for all your videos!
@@AaronTerenceHughes Thank you! Yes I thought the same things. I guess there are just certain compounds that are just too good to do without. I think Bergamot is in the same league as vanilla in terms of how versatile it can be with top notes. It just seems to work with most formulations much like vanilla. Thank you for the reply!
I tried this one recently and quite like it, I will probably buy it at some point. Not quite as good as my favourite 3 which are Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood and Tuscan Leather
Great review, Aaron! So happy to see you review TF Noir De Noir - knowing you'd love it. It's an undeniable masterpiece. Not for everyone - But it is a clear "Best in Class" winner with few competitors. A great blind buy for the adventurous - But just be aware - It will take you FOREVER to kill a 50ml! For any true collector, this is a legit must-have... Even if it's just a decant. You may feel something's missing - But is that the case at hour 8, for example? 10 years of collecting - And while I did let my OG 250ml go - I kept 50ml - And it still stuns with every spray!
I love this, gets loads of compliments with it since it's really different for the average nose. After 2-3h it sits quite close to the skin but it still lingers in the air around you, longevity being about 8h on my skin (2021 batch). Ideal for date nights and "close encounters", overall a solid fragrance. Can't decide what to buy next though 🤔
Same problem I have with all Tom Fords - so many people keep saying they are 'powerhouses' but honestly, I don't get more than 1 hour with any of them 🙁. I literally sprayed over 15 sprays of Tobacco Vanille on myself and my clothes to go to Ascot in October and by the time we arrived 2 hours from setting off on our journey it was literally all gone 😒
Exactly, same opinion, i have the noir extreme, i love the scent but I can't believe it last's about an hour or max two, it isn't that cheap, i expect much, much more... At this time, your buying just the brand name- TF for the money, just sad. Not spending anymore money on TF when you have all the other still high quality niche brands, i mean, Tizianna Terenzi or Amouage etc. last for days literally.
Most Tom Ford’s have been reformulated several times - the current Noir De Noir (and Tobacco Vanille) is a shadow of the original formulation when it really was a powerhouse. If you really love a Tom Ford buy as much as you can when it first comes out, because it will be reformulated after a couple of years & will be a fraction of what it was (and for a higher price!)
I’m sure they probably have been reformulated but they are still beastly in longevity, not like Greed, those are a waste of money, just bought another bottle of Ndn today as my old one ran out
My mom broth me some lilly flowers today, as I was smelling thought went through my mind, Id loveee to se Arons fragrance based on top to mid note of oriental lily and based on oud
may i ask a question.. (someone said velvet orchid) but i dont think thats it..seems more for women. anyways.. could you or someone point me to a fragrance that is like TV static coming off of you.. shimery, sparkly, but DEEP, spicy, and LOOUUDDDD.. thick.. like purple Static..where u can feel its thickness.. Like A men + Armani diamonds + spice bomb+ versace eros.. idk...
How similar is this to Armaf Club D N Intense women? And does this lean towards masculine or feminine..? Does it have a spicy element like ombre nomade...?
My bottle of noir de noir has some insane staying power, but it may well be an older formulation. In terms of that something missing, I find layering with oud generally does the trick 😉
@@AaronTerenceHughes I mean the flanker From 2000 created by annick menado. She also did bulgari black which in my opinion is also fantastic. I swear the late 90s to early 2000s had some incredible creations! Kenzo air, ysl live jazz, Davidoff goodlife to name a few. Sadly most are discontinued 🙁What I would give to have a time machine!
Its incredible... the first bottle I bought was nuclear , superbly rich and would last through the day even at work. The second one a year or so ago was not the same sadly.
Aaron wanted to say i received your Fragrances Maverick & Legend and boy i really love both of them super duper epic Fragrances....Thanks so much Aaron....Tom Ford Noir De Noir was the second Fragrance i ever bought...!00 ml for 200 bucks....I really Really like Noir De Noir!...Its one of my favorite Tom Ford Fragrances....If anybody wants this Fragrance from the 2007 Private line they better get it now because the prices are sky rocketing....And of course i have a old Batch so mine is original!. Yes Aaron my Bottle of Noir De Noir is the older formula and its strong if you ask me....Very good Fragrance!
Thank you. My friend loved maverick and wore it all last weekend when he visited. It was the first time I smelt it on someone else. It smelt amazing on him. Crazy projection and longevity
@@AaronTerenceHughes I totally agree Aaron....I have been talking a lot about it with others! Spread the word about this awesome Fragrance....Maybe it is not for everyone! Meaning everybody has there own taste in Fragrance....For me its Wonderful! And i am sure lots and lots will love this Aaron...
LOVE this frag!! TF sold to another company, they reformulated it weaker, now a shit skin scent. What a crime… When i sprayed Noir De Noir for the first time, my brain right away thought of Onyx for some reason.
I have an older formulation bottle must say it last about 5 hours, but it does fade away quickly to a skin scent. I love it though, I don't want it to project too hard, personally. This one and Noir Extreme (kinda similar vibe) are my favourite TF.
Aaron, could you tell us something about pyrazines? Legendary perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena said he uses them in all of his fragrances at quite low concentrations, sometimes as low as 0.01% and that they are part of his signature style. But I can't find anything on pyrazines in perfumery on the internet. Thanks
I have all of them at work. I nearly used one in forbidden. But it threw it out. Even at trace amounts. Forbidden nearly was completely different as I was obsessed by one of them. But I do use one in blood orange actually: you really have to know what your doing with such powerful raw materials.
Great review as always. I would agree that the pricing is a bit high with Tom Ford, I would expect massive longevity and projection, if you're paying such a high price. But everyone has his own visions, expectations for the fragrances that they're using/buying. 👍👍👍
I was determined to buy this, however, it turned into rose on me. Don’t get me wrong, I like rose but this turned to straight floral/rose on my skin. Even the Tom Ford sales consultant was surprised. Overall, it’s a nice fragrance but it doesn’t work on me and I still think it leans too feminine for a man.
I wonder why many Tom Ford fragrances lack performance. Lost Cherry should be nuclear based on the notes and price, but it's just mediocre. Maybe they're using too many naturals? Parfums de Marly fragrances take years to develop, because they want to balance synthetics with naturals for performance.
I think TF is not built for cost. They have a loyal base of followers and they can decrease the perfume concentration and take out the expensive bits but increase the price
I am only interested in my work. I am interested in aromachemicls, essential oils and absolutes. Other people work doesn’t interest me. I think that’s common with more perfumers
The only downside to this fragrance is the performance and longevity. It's just way too weak for me to pull the trigger and buy a full bottle. It used to be very potent, but nowadays all that's left is the initial one hour. When I buy something for 250€ and above I expect it to last 8 hours and project at least for 2 hours arms length. In a similar vein as Coromandel EDP and Richwood.
@@christianholt5919 I walk around naked with my arms out and spin 360 degrees asking those who I touch whether they can smell it. Your curiosity answered ;-)

Tbh your voice is so relaxing... And I love the detailed description, it makes it easier for me who never smelled this fragrance

I’m hearing that the longevity isn’t what it once was😢. This is sad, because this fragrance is an absolute gem!

Noir de Noir used to be monstrous lasting all day. But now, I barely get 6 hours.
Facts
all the original tom fords used to be beasts with lots of character. a shame.
They watered them down?😮
@@MrBreadman386 scent definitely changed from the first time I smelt it.
Love your reviews, especially when you really break down the notes. Well done.
Found you on Fragmental, glad you have reviewed this, just bought a sample.
Love this one. I always get a milk chocolate mixed with rose smell from it. It’s been reformulated a few times since it’s original release & isn’t as punchy or long lasting as it used to be. I still have a 250ml decanter of the original formulation which i use sparingly (when i first bought it this was £250 for 250ml - talk about inflation!!)
£250/250ml that’s good. Crazy prices now
I think you are really cool and sincere about your craft. I hope you never change.
Thank you. I hope so to 🦄
This honestly smells amazing and I knew it would be more your style, but I agree with you on pricing, it really lacks performance and that’s what will probably always keep it from my collection.

Great review
Aaron, have you ever smelled Boisee by Gentlemen Givenchy?
I acquired it recently and I adore the smell but I think it might be a little too strong for me. I get this weird feeling in my head when I apply it on my neck. Idk it's weird but I hope you can review it at some point.
This one had to grow on me. It reminded me of a bug spray we used when I was a kid. Like it now, but I had a powerful scent memory to get past.
My very first TF, love at first sniff for me. Borderline gourmand, very sexy fragrance. I’ve always thought that the truffle accord is chocolate truffle and not the fungus type, which I think is responsible for giving it a dark chocolatey richness to it.
I’ve been after this fragrance for so long it’s the price that makes my blood pressure go up
Probably my favourite Tom Ford fragrance. Jeremy Fragrance referred to it as a “chocolate” fragrance in his Tom Ford top 10 list. Did you catch much of the truffle note?
Good video as always!
I did get a lovely Truffle note:)
Had a question Aaron wanted to know what are some of your smoky sweet fragrances? I want your line to be my first niche fragrance!
I could listen to him talk all day

Similar but I think onyx has much better naturals. NDN is a bit synthetic
+1
Yes, absolutely. I immediately thought of NDN when I first smelled Onyx although I much prefer Onyx!
The only Tom Ford i have ever smelled was Hombre Leather and i was amazed at the quality and bought it that day. Wish i could try all of them.
If only they actually had called it ‘Hombre Leather’. 😂

I have the same experience as you do unfortunately… I am in love with it but when I spray it on, no one around me seems to like it at all…

Aaron wanted to say i received your Fragrances Maverick & Legend and boy i really love both of them super duper epic Fragrances....Thanks so much Aaron....Tom Ford Noir De Noir was the second Fragrance i ever bought...!00 ml for 200 bucks....I really Really like Noir De Noir!...Its one of my favorite Tom Ford Fragrances....If anybody wants this Fragrance from the 2007 Private line they better get it now because the prices are sky rocketing....And of course i have a old Batch so mine is original!. Yes Aaron my Bottle of Noir De Noir is the older formula and its strong if you ask me....Very good Fragrance!
Thank you. My friend loved maverick and wore it all last weekend when he visited. It was the first time I smelt it on someone else. It smelt amazing on him. Crazy projection and longevity
@@AaronTerenceHughes I totally agree Aaron....I have been talking a lot about it with others! Spread the word about this awesome Fragrance....Maybe it is not for everyone! Meaning everybody has there own taste in Fragrance....For me its Wonderful! And i am sure lots and lots will love this Aaron...
Some have compared this to red wine. Does anyone know of a fragrance that is red wine forward? Looking everywhere!
Love at 1st sniff
Can you please review Issey Miyake Noir Argent or Issey Miyake Pulse of the night
You are right, everyone says older bottles (2012 and earlier) are much stronger.
LOVE this frag!!
TF sold to another company, they reformulated it weaker, now a shit skin scent. What a crime…
When i sprayed Noir De Noir for the first time, my brain right away thought of Onyx for some reason.
Which company?
This is incorrect. Tom Ford beauty didn’t sell to anyone - it has always been part of Estée Lauder since day one.
@@nathanthomas5133 Oh, well if that's true, that is very interesting! Tnx for the clarification friend.
They want to make people use the bottle more. Annoying because they want only the hyper rich to want to buy it
I have an older formulation bottle must say it last about 5 hours, but it does fade away quickly to a skin scent. I love it though, I don't want it to project too hard, personally. This one and Noir Extreme (kinda similar vibe) are my favourite TF.
Finally!!!!
Knew you would love it
Hmmm daddy. Kidding. Love the review as always 💋
Aaron, could you tell us something about pyrazines? Legendary perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena said he uses them in all of his fragrances at quite low concentrations, sometimes as low as 0.01% and that they are part of his signature style. But I can't find anything on pyrazines in perfumery on the internet. Thanks
I have all of them at work.
I nearly used one in forbidden. But it threw it out. Even at trace amounts. Forbidden nearly was completely different as I was obsessed by one of them. But I do use one in blood orange actually: you really have to know what your doing with such powerful raw materials.
@@AaronTerenceHughes but what do they smell of?
I really enjoy this one alot Aaron big fan of your fragrances too
I know you are:)
God + Love + Kiss + Hope + Effort + Persistence = Happiness
Great review as always. I would agree that the pricing is a bit high with Tom Ford, I would expect massive longevity and projection, if you're paying such a high price. But everyone has his own visions, expectations for the fragrances that they're using/buying. 👍👍👍
This one is really nice.
I really loving woody acords on perfumery.... Woody parfums are my fav actually.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊
Mine too!
I was determined to buy this, however, it turned into rose on me. Don’t get me wrong, I like rose but this turned to straight floral/rose on my skin. Even the Tom Ford sales consultant was surprised. Overall, it’s a nice fragrance but it doesn’t work on me and I still think it leans too feminine for a man.
How does this compare to Black Orchid?
What about Armaf Club de Nuit intense woman? It's a clone of this, lacks the depth but amazing for under €25
I know and it is a beast.On my skin all day long.Armaf is verry good.
Please do Tom Ford Ebene Fume. 🦄
Hey arron i love your reviews but didn't understand what is LUXLON ?
Best regards from Saudi Arabia
Lixetone is a wood compound that smells of an amber/cedarwood compound. It’s great in oriential perfume to add wood notes
@@AaronTerenceHughes thank you 😊 I've learned so much from you love your style of reviewing ❤️❤️💋
@@ameereshqi my pleasure
Wow, that was a rollercoaster of information, hahaha. Are you on caffeine?😀
Hahahahahh. Yes. …………
You are the best
What's a T note?
I never like rose in fragrances. But I adore noir de noir.
Same here
I think Black orchid is better. But this one is very nice, too
Mate, what is that finger thing you doing at the beginning of the video?
Mate…………. Lol!!! I have Asperger's it’s called stimimg. When I talk about perfume the Asperger's brain is activated fully. Thank you.
First time I smelt Noir De Noir I thought of sexy but formal vampires in a cemetary with roses and chocolate under a full moon
I dunno. I prefer noir extreme, it makes my feel better for real. It's weird.Or is it??
its a comforting intoxicating scent not complex
I bought a 100ml of Oud Wood and now I don't like it 😔. Nearly a full bottle lying there getting unused. Loved it in store when I tested it.
Send it over that's my #1 thanks 😊
@@bates2953 Wish it was mine. Really really liked it at first.
That is me too. Loved it in store, now the 100mls is just sitting there 😭😭😭
I wonder why many Tom Ford fragrances lack performance. Lost Cherry should be nuclear based on the notes and price, but it's just mediocre. Maybe they're using too many naturals? Parfums de Marly fragrances take years to develop, because they want to balance synthetics with naturals for performance.
I think TF is not built for cost. They have a loyal base of followers and they can decrease the perfume concentration and take out the expensive bits but increase the price
Literally ordered this last night for my girlfriend to try. Coincidence.
i can’t believe you’ve never tried this until now 😭
I am only interested in my work. I am interested in aromachemicls, essential oils and absolutes. Other people work doesn’t interest me. I think that’s common with more perfumers
So basically, the scent smells exactly like the man in the video describing it?
The only downside to this fragrance is the performance and longevity. It's just way too weak for me to pull the trigger and buy a full bottle. It used to be very potent, but nowadays all that's left is the initial one hour. When I buy something for 250€ and above I expect it to last 8 hours and project at least for 2 hours arms length.
In a similar vein as Coromandel EDP and Richwood.
How do you measure the projection in two hours....just wandered ;-)
@@christianholt5919 I walk around naked with my arms out and spin 360 degrees asking those who I touch whether they can smell it.
Your curiosity answered ;-)
@@deyoviC Why naked?
@@christianholt5919 That's the spirit, you gotta try it :)
@@deyoviC No more questions...I am convinsed 👍
Yes Aaron Aka ATH, I think it's wonderful fragrance. Oh you need to try katana perfume oud Damascus I think you will like it. Bisous 😘
I find it that leans more feminine, what do you think ?
I agree
If this was based out then it would be suitable for more men. But the light airy ozonic floral nature means it’s more female
