Tom Ford Noir De Noir

Mostly soil and roots, like a forest floor after rain. Underneath that, the flower itself, ranging from jammy to green depending on the blend.

It opens on saffron, moves through black rose, truffle and floral notes, and settles on patchouli, vanilla and agarwood (oud).

• saffron: warm leathery spice, dry with a faint medicinal bite
• floral notes: a general floralness rather than any one flower

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
