Guerlain Habit Rouge meets Narcisco Rodriguez For Him (original).
I get a smidgen bit of a petrol note, no complaints here!
It’s an older era-type of scent that is very modern.
I had Noir EDP which is much more powdery, again, no complaints on that one either! But this version irons out the deeper notes of Noir EDP and makes the Noir scent just soar. I can say this will be part of my daily rotation starting tomorrow.
Wonderfully manliness.

Smells like the bottle looks: foggy, damp, woody, musky and clean.

I really like this one, it smells like a high quality powder product. Longevity is not the best, maybe 3-4 hours which is fine for edt.
abesin – :
A close, more woody relative of Amber Musk by Narciso Rodriguez. Very nice
cqyqxoqadvc – :
nice scent but very close of habit rouge by guerlain a bit more woody though ! good job and not a generic scent!
more habit rouge than the one sold now by guerlain!

I love this fragrance so much! I originally owned this when it first released but sold it..but then spent years regretting it. Just got a new bottle and I love it even more. It really dances on the skin and i can’t stop smelling myself. It’s a powdery classy type fragrance but I guess there is musk that shines through on it. I was reading reviews on this somewhere else and apparently some of the guys (obviously still trying to pull the ladies with crap like 1 million)thought it smells like grandma or old lady.. I personally just think it smells classy and alluring. If you have not tried this it’s well worth it. Great longevity as I smell it all day and the silage is pretty good as well.
It’s a 8/10 for me!

Yummy , my lovely hubby wears this ,its soft lemon over talcom powder , maybe tiny bit of spice , honesty smell your bottle and it’s exactly what you smell. Refreshing too. Love it ! summer favorite !
why is it not down as powdery as it soooo is in a lovely way?
sometimes i pinch a bit ( shhhh dont tell the hubby lol 🙂

I just moved this to my signature fragrance. It is so fresh for Spring and Summer, yet it’s much more than a great fresh fragrance. It smells full and complex, with fresh spices and manly florals, a nice earthy green vib, and a nice smooth sandalwood.
The first hour is outstanding, mid and drydown are still very good, but I like to reapply after a few hours, just to experience the great opening.
This Noir edt is an underated gem.
It may smell like some classics, so for younger men under 35, this may seem too mature or dated.
I am mature and like great classics.
As Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is to Guerlain Vetiver, so is TF Noir to Guerlain Habit Rouge. The TF’s mentioned add modern, brighter touches to a classic theme.

Very nice scent, I like it but it has the same vibe as Jaipur by Boucheron, the same feeling and the same quality to my nose. Very good scent but not enough to buy a bottle. Moderate performance.
fedotovAw – :
Opens fresh with undertone of Gucci envy then after 5 minutes it becomes powdery and less sweet version of a*men pure malt. After half an hour pure malt desolves in beautiful sour and bit sweet powdery woody dry down. Love how the scent is consrtucted, it has beautiful depth and some grandmather luxury parfume vibe. A LOVE for me.
vadvik – :
I really like this scent from Tom Ford. I see shades of Guerlain in it, like Habit Rouge or Shalimar EDC. That is a compliment! It is definitely the lightest out of his Noir scents, but light doesn’t equal lesser quality. Sometimes you want something lighter and closer to the skin. This fits the bill! A classy scent!

I just got this for my April Scentbird order, wearing it at work today for the first time. I’m a woman, and to me this is totally unisex if you like spicy, ambery scents.
I’m generally underwhelmed. I have used A. LOT. OF. SPRAYS. today, so far. And it keeps disappearing on me! I can always tell if I like a fragrance, because when I do, I keep sniffing my wrists all day, trying to figure out the notes, and smell the scent through it’s different stages. I’m not doing that today, and when I sniff I keep wanting to smell more development, something, anything, and it just sort of stays the same on me, and for not very long!
Upon first spraying, I smell a blast of spice and citrus and then…it goes away. It doesn’t seem to develop, and I can’t even smell it on my coat from this morning, and it’s only 1:30 pm! I expected a TF fragrance to be on my clothes for days, like Black Orchid does. It has a tad of Guerlainade where it dries down with a bit of vanilla spice and seems sort of Shalimar-ish, but it’s fleeting and then it’s just gone. I love Shalimar, but it’s not what I was expecting here.
This is one of TF’s “cheaper” fragrances, whatever that means, but it’s still way too expensive for me to justify buying a bottle, when the performance is this poor. Perhaps the EDP is deeper and richer. I keep reapplying and now I’m getting nervous that I’ve used too much and will be waking around in a cloud of spice all day. The Scentbird vial is nice bc I can bring it with me but if I had an entire bottle of this, I’m not sure what I’d do, especially as I specifically got this because it seemed like a nice, dark fragrance that was still “clean” enough for work.
Overall, I’ll use it up, gladly, as it is nice, but not sure I’d ever want a full bottle. I don’t seem to crave it like I do certain other scents, but it does seem like this could have been developed to become something a little more. It’s very cold out today, so I’ll try this again when the weather heats up, as I feel that this might be a great scent for summer days and nights, and body heat might develop it a little more.

Tom Ford’s Noir (EDT) is an outstanding, masculine, elegantly refined scent that makes me feel good about myself. Love it!
gapon32rus – :
Noir (Eau de Toilette) is a lovely versatile scent.
I’ve begun wearing this a couple times a week when I work somewhere different than the usual sauna of an office that I usually be in.
Best Weather/seasonal conditions in my opinion would be spring and Autumn.
Performance wise Noir (edt) lasts respectably but projection is somewhat soft, however that is ok in my book, you do not want to be pushy with your fragrance if it is spicy and musky.
Although light the transformation from fresh citrus to musky is very well done here, there are no edgy periods, very smooth. In fact, Noir seems to go out of its way to be inoffensive, it is a really good example of good workmanship, fresh, then warm, then musky and subtle.
I got a 100ml for £55.75 and for that price I believe it is pretty good value, I doubt I will ever need to buy another bottle as it will probably last me years.
Nice!

Does anybody else smell baby powder with this?

Congratulations to Tom Ford on making such a fantastic Guerlain!
dot3r – :
2 stories. First story: I used to have this one and I enjoyed it. Spicy with a hint of floral/citrusy vibe, seems more for formal occasions and night time.
Second story: out of curiosity, I tried Lynx Oud Wood & Dark Vanilla: smells a lot like TF Noir lol
rivzxxx – :
Of the three versions of Noir, the EDT offers the most balanced and more quality aroma, but also is the least powerful of all.
Each stage of its evolution in three phases is easily distinguishable:
Fresh citrus entrance with a nice balance between the mint and the acidity of the lemon that takes you gently to the heart notes with soft herbal nuances, moved under a central axis of many spices, soft musk rising from the Oriental base notes it reminds me of vintage classics (not the current version) of Guerlain, as Habit Rouge, but much more updated and somewhat rejuvenated (the best phase of this Noir).
Drying with notes of wood and musk nuances continues to expand and produce an effect like second skin makes Guerlinade.
Beautiful fragrance, timeless classic, medium-high, with good lasting qualities, but for my taste is lack of much more projection (I noticed very light and soft) which detracts from the end result.

Très bon parfum
Il est vraiment pas mal, j’ai l’impression qu’il joue dans la cour des grands, sauf qu’il pouvait bien tenir plus longtemps pour y rentrer, mais en final, ça reste une bonne fragrance avec ces notes boisés, épices, musc, citron et menthe, j’aime beaucoup…
Je le préfère à l’eau de parfum, et il tient beaucoup plus que l’eau de parfum a mon avis
Pour des soirées privées, des restos, des dîners … il fera très bien l’affaire
8/10

عطری که نباید اون رو از نزدیک بو کنید چون حاصل این بوی تند ناخوشایندی خواهد بود.اما رایحه ای که در اطراف شما پخش میشه دلپذیره.بهترین زمان استفاده پاییز هست و در مناطق مرطوب نتیجه ی بسیار بهتری خواهد داشت.بر خلاف عطرهای دیگه ی تام فورد بالانس رایحه ها تکمیل نیست اما عطر قدرتمندی از نظر پخش و ماندگاری هست.حس عطر مطابق با رنگ شیشه است.بوی دودی خامه ای و مرکباتی داره که رفته رفته بوی مرکبات رنگ میبازه و ترکیبات گفته شده به همراه رویح گیاهی قابل استشمام خواهد بود البته به اضافه مقدار زیادی ادویه

I think Grottola’s review below is SPOT ON, and I won’t even dare going into the technical aspect of the scent, as the review nailed it.
Noir (EDP and EDT) brings me back to my childhood, a very happy period of my life (I was lucky enough to have 2 very loving parents).
As it is the case with a lot of young boys, my dad was (is) my hero as a kid and he only wore 3 fragrances in his 55 years (so far!) on this earth: Pour un Homme de Caron, Habit Rouge and Le Male.
Habit Rouge always brings back memories of happy times every time I smell it, flashes/images of my dad getting home at night and Sundays spent playing outside with him and my brother.
I would never wear it personally, as I feel, even though he doesn’t wear it anymore, that it is “his”, but I’ll always remember going to the perfume shop to smell – as a big Tom Ford fan – Noir EDP for the first time when it came out. At the time I didn’t know what to expect, but I certainly wasn’t expecting to be hit “right in the feels” when smelling my wrist. I had to double-check the bottle to make sure it wasn’t Habit Rouge I was smelling for the first time in 18 years.
It wasn’t, and soon enough the differences (again, brilliantly put into words by Grottola) started to appear, but the similarities were enough for me to instantly love it. This wasn’t Habit Rouge, this was different enough for me to wear it as my own, but every time I wear it I feel this safety blanket that a kid feels around a loving parent…
I own both the EDP and EDT versions, and they are different enough to justify buying both if you’re a real fan of one of them. Depending on the mood/occasion, I will wear one or the other (they have to fight my 60+ fragrance collection!), but this is definitely a personal favorite of mine. Is it signature worthy? Definitely, in my case, my mood changes so often that I rarely wear the same fragrance twice a week but when I do, it will be one of those two.
Brilliant stuff Mr Ford.
Shamf – :
A fantastic smell!
Warm spices & powder.
Smells like a less sweet version of L’Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Eau Extreme.
The projection is strong & the lasting power is moderate.
Love it!
jktu74 – :
I bought a bottle last Fall at a very reasonable (read: not retail) price, from an airport of all places. At first I loved it, I have received compliments for it – it’s really rare so nobody else has it – but don’t personally really care for it anymore. The drydown is too musky, and it’s like a different animal compared to the opening. Purely as a fragrance it is masterfully crafted, though – there’s an easily distinguishable lineup of a multitude of different notes one after the other.
drupey – :
I agree with others here who have compared this to Guerlain’s Shalimar, somehow slightly less ‘feminine’ but nonetheless mysterious. As Tom Ford and I are almost exactly the same age, I can only imagine that his mother, too, wore Shalimar on special occasions, and the memories of it were too intoxicating to ignore. (though I can attest from personal experience that wearing Shalimar myself ended up being a bit too creepy. I’ll let Dr. Freud sort that one out). So thank you, thank you, Tom Ford for bringing back a lot of great memories, and yet still letting me be me. As with the original scent, I rarely, if ever, smell this on someone else, but always get a compliment or two when I wear it.
Angel00799 – :
I’m yet to smell a bad perfume by Tom Ford!
The guy is a fashion genius.
The smell is a soft, woody, smoky, with a hint of spices & citrus. Very Arabic. No wonder his fragrances, including the old YSL M7, are a hit in the middle east.
A must try for the fans of woody fragrances!
The price, like all Tom Ford’s, remain a con. More expensive than Chanel or Dior. A shame really. Prevents some people owning it.
fpv993InsuffBooni – :
On a paper it smells well, after a few hours, it smells like Burberry Brit.
смит123 – :
I find this to be different from the EDP. There’s a blast of citrus in the opening and it has an interesting drydown. I agree it seems to be derived a bit from Shalimar EDP. Very nice.
molats – :
Not a review, but try layering this on top of oud wood. The pepper notes are accentuated wonderfully when blended and the soapy rosewood shines. Happy smelling!
vladink5 – :
This is definitelly a UNISEX perfume. To me this scent is a mix of Guerlain Shalimar + Prada Amber. Overall this is a beautiful, rich, multidimensional perfume for men and women, so if you are tired of yucky sweet-candy-mainstream-y perfumes you need to try this one.
Orugejnik – :
A perfume called Noir in a bottle which is white. Sure…
SaraPejak – :
A simplified version of shalimar edp.
CEH9 – :
when I first tried it after sampling noir I was sort of ok …but the more I wore it the more I enjoyed it. I agree with wes that it is safe in the office, actually received a few compliments. my wife really seems to enjoy this on me. I do see some similarities to habit rouge, which grottola mentioned,
I have always liked and have that. I think this compares with the vintage habit rouge which I lucked on to finding reasonably. I think I would wear this one more often though. goes on very light and I can not detect it after a bit but others do, so i have to be careful not to over apply. I like this more than the noir de noir , but that is just me. this smells very classy to me. it is definitely worth trying out, give it some time, sometimes it takes a second wearing. but for me thumbs up. if you really want to try a tom ford that will get your attention try Italian cypress. if you ever enjoyed halston’s z14.. tom ford’s scents are quality. I wish they were more affordable. whether I enjoy them all or not that is a different story but for this one..
YES..
I will wear this..
Смех Дождя – :
I find this blah and forgettable. It goes on smelling vaguely spicy/gourmandy and just sort of barely exists, leaving not much of an impression. Timid, unimpressive and overpriced. Is it “safe for work?” Yes. Very much so. In fact, corporations could issue it to employees.
And come on… the juice color… an albino noir?
izerli92 – :
I personally found that the EDT lasted longer and projected more on my skin than the EDP. I have so many colognes that my wife is very “blah” when it comes to smells. She’s smelled them all. However, this perks her up every single time. Great masculine smell, separates itself from the mainstream smells and is very beautiful. Some hate it and say it’s boring, I definitely am one that loves it. Compliments every time I wear it.
elarieDaubake – :
Not as cloying with civet, opponax, iris and benzoin, but still similar to Noir EDP.
Yes, it’s lighter than its predecessor indeed and can be worn summer nights, spring, fall and winter. I think in hot day it still could bother you when you wore it… Still not my cup of tea, but I would surely call it “the better” Noir.
diabbankeviveyfv – :
Tom Fords Noir offers a masterclass in drydowns. Starting out fresh and citrusy, it transorms amazingly into a woody, almost chocolatey scent. It is wonderful. But longevity is poor at 4 hours.
AK-47 – :
Wanna wear Habit Rouge but don’t like it? Try this fragrance.
The original Tom Ford Noir Eau de Parfum is a woody oriental with a Guerlain feel to it, built around an accord of violet and Guerlinade-esque vanilla; Noir Eau de Toilette (which really isn’t Noir and should instead be called Blanche or something) goes even further into Guerlain territory and stands tall as a Habit Rouge for the young 2010s metrosexual – bits of Habit Rouge’s powdery, Froot Loop aura are there, but the woods are a bit drier, the powder calmed down, the sweetness not as severe, and the creaminess just right. I happen to be a *huge* fan of Habit Rouge, but I can certainly attest that there are some situations where it’s a bit too much to wear, and I’d be happy to wear Noir Eau de Toilette instead. As expected from Tom Ford, the sillage and longevity are excellent. One of the best releases of 2013.
Disclaimer:
You may not notice as many similarities to Habit Rouge as I do. Maybe it’s just my nose and I’m weird. But when I sprayed it on a few hours before I wrote this review, it definitely felt like I was smelling Habit Rouge’s spiritual successor on the back of my hand.
falDrarsycler – :
I like this one…a lot. I get a powdery, creamy floral scent that is very pleasant as long as it’s not oversprayed…I think you gotta be careful on the trigger with this one – I can see where, if you have it cranked up loud, it could be too rich for too long (I mean rich as it would be used when talking about a dessert – if you eat a very rich chocolate creme pie, when you’re done with a piece you’ve had enough of it kind of thing.) Probably just me, but I see a lot of similarity between this and Black Orchid and Tom Ford Extreme.
There very well may be an old lady makeup that smells similar to this (see reviews below,) and it might smell a little like baby wipes, but I’ve neither smelled a lot of old lady makeup nor have I been around babies, so I have no such negative associations 🙂
gorelov.all – :
just tried it and i’m afraid tbe review is no different to the original one i ve posted. sad though. i was expected a fresh burst of mint, citrus and herbs.
it’s more bearable ( the drydown) and i didn’t wash it off,
it is quite too feminine to my taste.
4/10
Kirel – :
Got loads of samples of this today through my friends at various Tom Ford counters around the north west…so thanks for that.
When I looked on here at the notes I was expecting a totally different fragrance as I suspect many others were.
The review below says it all really the same fragrance as Noir, a deep warm wonderful iris, pathouli, amber, resiny, vanilla, animalistic, spicy…the list goes on quite frankly a staggering concoction of notes. I have noir eau de parfum and personally I love it!
I can’t understand people who bang on about Noir de Noir, and make like for like comparison…just because they have both have noir in the name. They really are very different fragrances.
Anyway…this eau de toilette for my Money has the same longevity, projection and sillage as the EDP (black bottle) with a blast of citrus in the top which genuinely wowed me at first because it gives this fragrance a new dynamic.
Unfortunately top notes being true to their name are gone very quickly…if this scent could somehow retain those fresh citrus notes at least a while longer into the drydown it would be a hugely interesting fragrance against that Noir backdrop.
So effectively what I’m saying is, this drysdown to Noir and is not noticeably any weaker so if I had the choice again I would probably go for this just because of the interesting fresh opening, and if the price is cheaper(not sure what it is?) you could plump for this one.
DaheZ – :
I agree this does smell the same as the Noir EDP just a touch lighter. It has the same dna as the original but mashed up with mint and citrus at the start. It has superb longevity and is very sexy indeed.
koozma – :
how can this smell the same ?:D the notes listed are totally different
tcd023Bessinepome – :
Tested this in Debenhams. It smells exactly like the EDP but in a lighter variation. Don’t let that fool you because the sillage and longevity with the EDT version is amazing. I sprayed this on at 12 and it still smells strong on my skin nearly 7 hours later. There is a citrusy twist in the opening and to my nose a I do detect a minty vibe but it’s not strong enough to dominate. I will definitely be adding this to my collection at some point. Very masculine and great from day to night.
Crergermalamy – :
It’s out already in the UK, for those interested!
