Noir

The low hum of an upscale private club where powders mingle with woodsmoke, and a hint of leather whispers through the air.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Noir by Tom Ford, launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Olivier Gillotin, is a sophisticated Oriental Woody fragrance that balances powdery elegance with earthy richness. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes of violet and pink pepper, creating an immediate contrast to the warm woody base anchored by patchouli, amber, and leather. This duality makes Noir a compelling scent — it can be both intimate and commanding, depending on the setting.

How to wear it

A single spray is sufficient — the violet and pink pepper top notes are vibrant but fleeting. The warm amber and patchouli base will unfold gradually over time, making it ideal for evening wear when you want to leave an impression without overpowering.
