Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum

Description

Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum is the deeper, sweeter, more resinous evolution of the cult 2015 Eau de Parfum. Released in 2022 and composed by perfumer Sonia Constant, this Parfum concentration takes the original's warm-spicy amber signature and turns up the richness: opening with bright cardamom, ginger and mandarin before melting into a creamy, dessert-like "kulfi" heart (an Indian cardamom-pistachio ice cream accord) wrapped in vanilla, amber, tonka and smooth woods. It earned the Fragrance Foundation's Men's Luxury Fragrance of the Year award in 2023. Fans describe it as more grown-up, more sensual and longer-lasting than the EDP.
