Charismatic. Urban. Refined.
An amber-infused, woody fragrance with a seductive, delightful heart, Noir Extreme dares to make a more extravagant gesture by pushing Noir's themes of refinement and seduction to the edges. Every aspect of the composition is intensified to capture the totality of a man's impeccable outward expression and his seductive inner nature. Tom Ford Noir Extreme opens to a devastatingly rich blend of spicy warmth and glowing citrus. The skillful brushstrokes of mandarin oil and North African Orpur® neroli oil provide a sharp contrast to the vibrant, synergistic blend of saffron, cardamom, and nutmeg. This creates the charismatic aura of a man accustomed to making an extraordinary impression. The heart of the fragrance is formed by the seductive Indian kulfi scent, inspired by the ancient royal brew for the 16th-century Mughal emperors.
This milky creation, traditionally consisting of Himalayan snow combined with a hint of pistachio, is unexpectedly introduced into the perfume's core via lentisque resin, chosen for its fresh, cool, yet milky effect. A series of floral notes—rose absolute, jasmine accord, and orange blossom—shine like rare gemstones on virgin snow. This heart gives Noir Extreme its extraordinarily desirable yet seductively unknowable allure. A woody, amber-infused impact defines the dry down, where an extreme dose of amber silhouettes the other background notes like twilight sunlight. This addictive amber cushion is studded with elegant sandalwood and a melting vanilla ember, which enigmatically sustains the gemstone-hard masculine fire. It captures the aspect of Tom Ford that revels in sensuality and hints at the carnal hedonist beneath the tailored suit.
Noir Extreme captures the daring, opulent side of the Noir man. He knows his desires, his vices, and what brings him pleasure, and enjoys surrendering to them. It is this private side that he reserves for himself, in its maximum expression. - TOM FORD
