Noir for men

Scent story

This smells like a locked study in a house with a past. Violet and pink pepper open over caraway and bergamot — strange, green, slightly unsettling — and then the florals arrive powdered and funereal: Tuscan iris, Bulgarian rose, like flowers pressed in a forbidden book. The base is where it gets serious: patchouli, amber, vanilla, and then the animals — civet feral and musky, leather dark as old furniture, opoponax and styrax smoking underneath. Enigmatic and full-bodied, exactly as promised. This is Tom Ford at his most decadent, and it does not hold your hand. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
