Tbh your voice is so relaxing... And I love the detailed description, it makes it easier for me who never smelled this fragrance

Your channel deserves so much more love , i watch a lot of different people for points of view and i have to say this is the top channel in terms of knowledge in my opinion i love to watch you review fragances , keep it up .

Perfect review. I purchased mine in 2016 and you can't get the scent to go even by having a wash and the projection is monstrous. Definitely with the batch I've got I have to go easy on the sprays as it can be very overpowering to myself as the wearer. 4 sprays max I find lasts forever!

Great review, I need to try this. Thanks Aaron for the regular uploads. 🙏

I tried this fragrance when it first came out ,, nice smell but didn’t project enough for me I like a beast of a fragrance for that sort of money . Nice review as always Aaron .

Love this perfume, very nice chocolatey vanilla like milky smell and lasts on my skin 8-10hrs... got lots of compliments from people though other users have complained its longevity and projection has been an issue but still smells beautiful!.... I ain't complaining cos usually I'm buzzing and feel happy after spraying it!.... Thanks for the Review Aaron!

It's one of my favourites. It's strength comes when mixing with my skin chemistry and when it blends with a bit of sweat, it's just divine and so seductive.

Omg I’ve wanted this review for so long lol. Excited to see what you think 👍

My God, you are hypnotic!! The sensuality of the way you describe fragrances is incredible. I think I have to watch it again, I was totally distracted 😂

Loved this one at first sniff. Incredible stuff! Great for Valentine’s Day!!

Top 3 of all time. To me this rose is unlike any other rose I’ve come across.. and I think that needs to be addressed because it is a unique selling point. Definitely get a red wine and chocolate vibe.. the fragrance had layer upon layer of mystique.. really beautiful dark and seductive. I place this as #1 for Tom Ford, followed by tobacco vanille and noir extreme

Thank you Aaron for reviewimg my favorite fragrance ever. -Miami, FL. 🌴 10/10 4 ever! BTW the original release was BEAST MODE! 24+ hours no 1 week on clothes even after wash.

Fantastic review as always 😊

Found you on Fragmental, glad you have reviewed this, just bought a sample.

It's beautiful and is powerful and long lasting on my skin. I bought a 100 ml bottle and have no regrets about the price I paid except that maybe I could've paid less per milliliter if I'd bought the 250 ml decanter instead. 🌹😍

Love your reviews, especially when you really break down the notes. Well done.

I think you are really cool and sincere about your craft. I hope you never change.

Love this one. I always get a milk chocolate mixed with rose smell from it. It’s been reformulated a few times since it’s original release & isn’t as punchy or long lasting as it used to be. I still have a 250ml decanter of the original formulation which i use sparingly (when i first bought it this was £250 for 250ml - talk about inflation!!)

This honestly smells amazing and I knew it would be more your style, but I agree with you on pricing, it really lacks performance and that’s what will probably always keep it from my collection. It’s always reminded me of onyx, but like a weak timid interpretation. And somehow more expensive lol. Loved the review 👍

What is really interesting are your comments on the price. Many people have commented that your Onyx Extreme (which I absolutely adore have have just purchased a 50ml bottle of) is very similar to this but the Onyx Extreme is even more expensive than this at £210.00 for 50ml. I am guessing that this is down to the very high levels of naturals you are using for the Onyx? Keep up the good work Aaron 😀🦄

My very first TF, love at first sniff for me. Borderline gourmand, very sexy fragrance. I’ve always thought that the truffle accord is chocolate truffle and not the fungus type, which I think is responsible for giving it a dark chocolatey richness to it.

Hi Aaron! How are you? I am fantastic and doing really well. ;) Tried this myself only recently as well. I'm not much of a TF fan, but it's easy to tell that there's talent involved in what he/they put out. Wish I liked more (the one I _did_ like, a lot, was Plum Japonais, but he found out I liked it, so discontinued it of course). BTW, the sound/production/mic is great.

Just watched your video, this is a Top 5 TF to me, I recently bought a 50 ml for $187 from Jomashop, but seeing that the performance is weak kinda worries me but i’ll see when i get it, I am noticing what I call the Estée Lauder Effect, even the Fredric Malle and Le Labo fragrances have gotten really watered down for such an expensive price, a sad time it has become for these once powerful and beautiful fragrances

How strange that I just subscribed to your channel and then became interested in this particular perfume at the same time. I went back on your channel and saw that you had posted a review an hour ago on the very perfume I just needed a review on. What a convenient coincidence ….

Great review, Aaron! So happy to see you review TF Noir De Noir - knowing you'd love it. It's an undeniable masterpiece. Not for everyone - But it is a clear "Best in Class" winner with few competitors. A great blind buy for the adventurous - But just be aware - It will take you FOREVER to kill a 50ml! For any true collector, this is a legit must-have... Even if it's just a decant. You may feel something's missing - But is that the case at hour 8, for example? 10 years of collecting - And while I did let my OG 250ml go - I kept 50ml - And it still stuns with every spray!

I’ve been after this fragrance for so long it’s the price that makes my blood pressure go up

This one had to grow on me. It reminded me of a bug spray we used when I was a kid. Like it now, but I had a powerful scent memory to get past.

I own this and Noir too. Love them both. Thanks for another great review ❤

Aaron, have you ever smelled Boisee by Gentlemen Givenchy? I acquired it recently and I adore the smell but I think it might be a little too strong for me. I get this weird feeling in my head when I apply it on my neck. Idk it's weird but I hope you can review it at some point.

I love this, gets loads of compliments with it since it's really different for the average nose. After 2-3h it sits quite close to the skin but it still lingers in the air around you, longevity being about 8h on my skin (2021 batch). Ideal for date nights and "close encounters", overall a solid fragrance. Can't decide what to buy next though 🤔

I've said it a million times, it's my favorite TF fragrance but the longevity sucks. Not sure what they did but in years past it was far stronger.

Noir de Noir used to be monstrous lasting all day. But now, I barely get 6 hours.

Had a question Aaron wanted to know what are some of your smoky sweet fragrances? I want your line to be my first niche fragrance!

- this one is a grower- initially not a fan as I smelled rose, chocolate and strong styrofoam, maybe it was the mothball accord you mentioned, which was a turn off- but really enjoy now

Isn't club de nuit woman from armaf a clone of this? I remember really liking that. Can you compare the two?

would/could you recommend another private blend to layer with this to boost performance and longevity?

Hey Aaron! Can you review DOLCE & GABBANA The One for Men Intense EDP and The One For Men Gold Intense EDP? Thanks

Probably my favourite Tom Ford fragrance. Jeremy Fragrance referred to it as a “chocolate” fragrance in his Tom Ford top 10 list. Did you catch much of the truffle note? Good video as always!

I tried this one recently and quite like it, I will probably buy it at some point. Not quite as good as my favourite 3 which are Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood and Tuscan Leather

My mom broth me some lilly flowers today, as I was smelling thought went through my mind, Id loveee to se Arons fragrance based on top to mid note of oriental lily and based on oud

Great review

I bought the 100ml a few years back. The sophistication is surreal.

Just got it and love it, but it doesn’t last on me rn in the winter… we’ll see what happens on hot summer night

I have heard it is similar to black orchid... thoughts ?

What would you choose between this one and tuscan leather? I cannot decide.

Great review as always. Got this one, loved it when I bought it couple of years ago. Now I don’t like it anymore. For me it has some similarities with Nasomatto - Pardon which I like a lot at the moment

I have an older formulation bottle must say it last about 5 hours, but it does fade away quickly to a skin scent. I love it though, I don't want it to project too hard, personally. This one and Noir Extreme (kinda similar vibe) are my favourite TF.

How similar is this to Armaf Club D N Intense women? And does this lean towards masculine or feminine..? Does it have a spicy element like ombre nomade...?

The only Tom Ford i have ever smelled was Hombre Leather and i was amazed at the quality and bought it that day. Wish i could try all of them.

Aaron wanted to say i received your Fragrances Maverick & Legend and boy i really love both of them super duper epic Fragrances....Thanks so much Aaron....Tom Ford Noir De Noir was the second Fragrance i ever bought...!00 ml for 200 bucks....I really Really like Noir De Noir!...Its one of my favorite Tom Ford Fragrances....If anybody wants this Fragrance from the 2007 Private line they better get it now because the prices are sky rocketing....And of course i have a old Batch so mine is original!. Yes Aaron my Bottle of Noir De Noir is the older formula and its strong if you ask me....Very good Fragrance!

Some have compared this to red wine. Does anyone know of a fragrance that is red wine forward? Looking everywhere!

HI Aaron! New subscriber to your channel thanks to the education and higher self (I enjoy the talkitive hands!). I actually purchased this since I own the TF Cafe Rose. Just like you, I received a travel sprayer like the one you have. The carrier left it in the mailbox and it is -12c outside. I got impatient as i sprayed it and it was absolutely nauseating. I cannot even gather my thoughts to figure out what exactly it is that I was smelling but needless to say, it was not rose or patchouli or anything that resembles what you are describing. I will try again once it reaches room temperature and I hope for a better experience but yeah, right now it is searing into my nostril and head and leaving a really really bad impression. With that said, keep up the great work! I enjoy the time spent listening to your descriptions of what you are smelling! Update: Thought I would update after I let the Noir de Noir bottle warm up to room temp. Now I smell everything you are describing and the rose notes are there. I smell the Tea/woody note that you are describing. When it was below freezing, it was not pleasant at all. Lesson learned!

I could listen to him talk all day

What's a T note?

may i ask a question.. (someone said velvet orchid) but i dont think thats it..seems more for women. anyways.. could you or someone point me to a fragrance that is like TV static coming off of you.. shimery, sparkly, but DEEP, spicy, and LOOUUDDDD.. thick.. like purple Static..where u can feel its thickness.. Like A men + Armani diamonds + spice bomb+ versace eros.. idk...

Can you please review Issey Miyake Noir Argent or Issey Miyake Pulse of the night

My bottle of noir de noir has some insane staying power, but it may well be an older formulation. In terms of that something missing, I find layering with oud generally does the trick 😉

How does this compare to Black Orchid?

Great review as always. I would agree that the pricing is a bit high with Tom Ford, I would expect massive longevity and projection, if you're paying such a high price. But everyone has his own visions, expectations for the fragrances that they're using/buying. 👍👍👍

Same problem I have with all Tom Fords - so many people keep saying they are 'powerhouses' but honestly, I don't get more than 1 hour with any of them 🙁. I literally sprayed over 15 sprays of Tobacco Vanille on myself and my clothes to go to Ascot in October and by the time we arrived 2 hours from setting off on our journey it was literally all gone 😒

Great video Mr. Hughes! I wanted to ask something. Do you feel that vanilla is a "trap" in perfumery? And by that I mean do you feel like it's an easy compound to add into a fragrance to add a delightful sweetness to a fragrance and smoothness to the point where perfumers are afraid to use anything else that would otherwise give the same/similar effect. I myself experiment with making fragrances and I am like you I love orientals and dark fragrances. But I always seem to rely on vanilla to round everything off. Do you think it's a creative trap or is vanilla really just that much of a indispensable compound in perfumery that without it our human sensibilities simply cannot do without? Thank you sir for all your videos!

You are right, everyone says older bottles (2012 and earlier) are much stronger.

Please react to rasassi hawas 🙏🏽 absolutely love your vids!

I am absolutly in love with this perfume. But everyone hates around me when I'm spraying it. Don't understand why 🙄

Always intrigued when you engage with the higher self

Its incredible... the first bottle I bought was nuclear , superbly rich and would last through the day even at work. The second one a year or so ago was not the same sadly.

This fragrance kind of reminded me of onyx, I wonder if anyone else got that too?

I really loving woody acords on perfumery.... Woody parfums are my fav actually.... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊

Aaron you should do Body Kouros if you ever get the chance. One of my all time favourites.

Aaron, could you tell us something about pyrazines? Legendary perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena said he uses them in all of his fragrances at quite low concentrations, sometimes as low as 0.01% and that they are part of his signature style. But I can't find anything on pyrazines in perfumery on the internet. Thanks

Knew you would love it

What about Armaf Club de Nuit intense woman? It's a clone of this, lacks the depth but amazing for under €25

If your on a night out with friends, family or a meal with your other half this is the scent! 🔥🔥

Mate, what is that finger thing you doing at the beginning of the video?

I think Black orchid is better. But this one is very nice, too

Please do Tom Ford Ebene Fume. 🦄

This one is really nice.

LOVE this frag!! TF sold to another company, they reformulated it weaker, now a shit skin scent. What a crime… When i sprayed Noir De Noir for the first time, my brain right away thought of Onyx for some reason.

Love at 1st sniff

cheers aaron :)

I never like rose in fragrances. But I adore noir de noir.

Finally!!!!

Hmmm daddy. Kidding. Love the review as always 💋

Your voice 😍

Hey arron i love your reviews but didn't understand what is LUXLON ? Best regards from Saudi Arabia

I really enjoy this one alot Aaron big fan of your fragrances too

I dunno. I prefer noir extreme, it makes my feel better for real. It's weird.Or is it??

Literally ordered this last night for my girlfriend to try. Coincidence.

I bought a 100ml of Oud Wood and now I don't like it 😔. Nearly a full bottle lying there getting unused. Loved it in store when I tested it.

I was determined to buy this, however, it turned into rose on me. Don’t get me wrong, I like rose but this turned to straight floral/rose on my skin. Even the Tom Ford sales consultant was surprised. Overall, it’s a nice fragrance but it doesn’t work on me and I still think it leans too feminine for a man.

You are the best

Onyx?

Yes Aaron Aka ATH, I think it's wonderful fragrance. Oh you need to try katana perfume oud Damascus I think you will like it. Bisous 😘

God + Love + Kiss + Hope + Effort + Persistence = Happiness

I wonder why many Tom Ford fragrances lack performance. Lost Cherry should be nuclear based on the notes and price, but it's just mediocre. Maybe they're using too many naturals? Parfums de Marly fragrances take years to develop, because they want to balance synthetics with naturals for performance.

Wow, that was a rollercoaster of information, hahaha. Are you on caffeine?😀

The only downside to this fragrance is the performance and longevity. It's just way too weak for me to pull the trigger and buy a full bottle. It used to be very potent, but nowadays all that's left is the initial one hour. When I buy something for 250€ and above I expect it to last 8 hours and project at least for 2 hours arms length. In a similar vein as Coromandel EDP and Richwood.

I got very much ATH “Onyx” first time I smelled Noir De Noir.. I even thought he was heavily inspired by Noir de Noir when making Onyx..?!?!

I find it that leans more feminine, what do you think ?

What batch is this perfume? The year?
