Tom Ford Noir Anthracitemen Eau De Parfum

Let me start by saying I have worn Tom Ford’s signature fragrances for men since Ford introduced his line of fragrances for men and women. I absolutely adore both that I continue to wear (one with a name I can’t put into this review, because Tom Ford used the F-word, the other being Black Orchid, and I wore Noir de Noir for years). Having established my love for Tom Ford and what he makes, I am profoundly disappointed with this scent, Noir Anthracite. My first sniff of this fragrance made an initial impression of: “This can’t be Tom Ford…” When I confirmed it was indeed Noir Anthracite, I tested it on my skin to get a proper sense of how the scent matures. And when I inhaled off my skin for the second assessment, my impressions only grew more disappointed and negative: + It smells like an old, large house’s attic in the summer + Or when you go to a cabin in the summer and open the door for the first time in a year…that smell + After a couple minutes, it smells like a dentist office without A/C. Very disappointed. I’ll go back to his classics.

Strong and masculine scent. It’s very good and noticeable without being over powering.
