There are a decent amount of fragrance reviewers that just say "It smells so good, it's very masculine and sweet!" But can't actually describe anything. Then there are a decent amount of reviewers who have a gifted nose, but to the best of my knowledge Aaron is the only one who gets into the details and science.
First of all, I love this man and the way he describes the scent notes and the composition of a perfume. He makes me want every perfume he presented. Big hug from Germany.
Here I am on vacation with my family with my favorite reviewer reviewing one of my favorite fragrances…..and just so happened to have Noir Extreme with me! Excellent video as always, Aaron!!
A woman in a department store recently complimented me like 4 times. She was like “ I just smelled you when you walked in, and I just wanna follow that scent”. Smells like a German bakery ( maybe apple strudel) Mixed with Oriental spices, and layered brilliantly!
It has the Kulfi note which is a traditional Indian handmade icecream. I am from India and trust me when I say this, Maestro Sonia Constant has nailed the kulfi smell in this one. One of my most favorite frags of all time :)
I actually picked up a decant based off of your previous review.. and consequently, a bottle. This has been one of my go-to perfumes all throughout 2020-2021 day or night. Uplifting to the spirit with that right touch of mystery to make it alluring as well. Dense in its presence but light to the senses. Intimate and cozy but not necessarily carnal. It's such a pleasure and warm embrace of a fragrance to wear. Many blessings and thanks for the recommendation.
Best Perfume reviewer On RU-vid hands down: I can listen to this guy all day! great work Aaron! You know your stuff & Love the darker quiet theme with the low volume music you can barely here yet still evident. Fantastic execution, Energy on the spot.
Such a great review your knowledge and detail are great you leave nothing out . I feel if I were to go out and purchase this I would know what I was getting even before I smelled it .
This is a great intoxicating fragrance. In my opinion why I think people say it doesn't last long it's because they become nose blind to it, but people around you can smell it perfectly fine, I've had that experience when I really couldn't smell it but other people could.
Dear Aaron, you are a great reviewer! I like your channel because you offer the best explanation and education, coming from a chemist. Keep up the good work! From my point of view you are the best. No other reviewers can compare with you even because of you profession!
And here I am enjoying your insights on this beautiful fragrance and came to the realization that I had yet to subscribe to your wonderful channel, which I quickly rectified 😆. Most excellent work Aaron! I hope to sample some of your magnificent creations soon. Keep up the excellence!
Howdy Aaron, great video as per usual. One of my favourite personally, absolutely love Noir Extreme. Would love to see some more from PDM, Roja and Xerjoff if you get the chance.
I just started following your channel after seeing your reviews on other channels. You are brilliant and the way you dissect a fragrance is brilliant. You are not pretentious but confident and remains humble.. Well done, I shall continue to follow...
I was looking for the older review the other day and couldnt find it, just to come back to your opinion about this fragrance that I love. Today I saw this one and love it even more thanks
You are right. To me the smell is great but the longlivety is a real drama. I do not understand why they “repair” that failure. They still would become millionair.. Such a shame to such a great odor.
Just got this, TV, and Noire and I realized I am a huge Tom Ford fan. Exactly what I look for in a fragrance. They all smell mysterious and dark yet professional. Noire is totally different from Extreme because NE has that super divulgent dark fruit sweetness that Noire doesn't have. It really is spot on with what it brands itself as.
You are right! Amber is fossilized tree resin, made up of labdanes ( a type of diterpene). They have no smell, due to their large molecule structure (way bigger than those heavy musks). Fun fact they are called labdanes because they were first found in Labdanum (rock rose)! And if I am correct, Labdanum is used quite a bit in some Amber accords? Just thought that was interesting. All the best Aaron!
I’ve actually found my TF noir and TF vetiver lasts longer than my more expensive initio side affect and my parfum de marly Herod. But my baccarat rouge 540 outlasts all of them. Always love your content Aaron. 👊🏽🏴🇬🇧
Arron definitely helps educate my nose as a collector . I love this fragrance . I thought this one was going to be discontinued when the Parfum was released. I’m so glad it’s still around being that I love it more than anything I’ve had from the private blends . I agree totally worth what you pay and this is Tom Ford at his best !
As I have the "normal" Noir I was not sure if extreme was needed in my life. Though I never smelled "extreme" after this review I will run off to the next perfumery! Thanks as always Aaron, banger review!
This is one of my most treasured fall and winter-time indulgences. It's great any time, but when the air is dry and cool this to me becomes legitimately intoxicating.
When I first got into fragrances I hated dark scents but the more you dive deep into frags you find out Dark is more complex and beautiful this stuff is amazing
I love this fragrance and it does last a while on my skin. Idk why people say it doesn’t last. If I was a signature scent type this would be my go to, this fragrance just yells out sexy.
One thing I noticed about this fragrance other than this being great, you go nose blind to it quick that's why people think it doesn't last long, but other people smell you.
I tested TF Noir Extreme in a mall before watching any review. I got this wet ashy tobacco note with spices, amber and vanilla. I was mind blown, I thought it was one of the best perfumes ever created. It had a very timeless feel to it. Oud Wood used to be my #1 TF until I smelled this. Such a beautifully crafted fragrance. Best time is to wear this is after it rains, or a cold evening when your are out.
Hi Aaron, like always, thank's for sharing your knowledge Sir. Please Aaron can you do a review of Molecule 01 from Escentric Molecules. Or maybe give some recommendations of what layering Molecule 01 will be absolutely amazing. I layer it with Erba Pura from Xerjoff, and I've never gotten so many compliments for my scent than with this layer. It's absolutely hypnotizing.
My father owns Noir Extreme. I recently purchased ATH Daddy. And they remind me of one another (in the same family at least to my novice nose). Both beautiful, rich, sensual, sweet scents.
@@hermez8050 sprayed it on my arm six hours ago and still smell it. It’s a beast for me. If you like Spicebomb extreme you’d love this! They aren’t the same but in the same vein!
Hi Aaron, great review! 👍 I've just brought a bottle of Tom ford Extreme Thanks to your review. Love watching you and I've just brought a bottle of your Oud as well is it possible to see you do a review of Jimmy Choo? forever
I wish we could get a stronger longer lasting version of this.. I’m looking forward to cooler weather so I can bust this out again. Even tho it’s not in the private line it might be one of the best scents ever released by his brand… it’s absolutely a warm hug from your grandmother in a bottle.
@@AaronTerenceHughes I will Aaron...I am so so excited! And my pleasure when it comes to supporting a awesome guy like yourself! I will be buying more! See you at the next video and hopefully Scent Explorer 2021!
@@AaronTerenceHughes I am back to give you my report on your fragrances Onyx & Oxytocin.....I mean wow! There some of the best i have ever smelled! There Amazing actually! Very Very Well done my friend...You no what your doing its evident in the quality! Thank You!
I've always loved this fragrance but I recently had a bad experience with a 100ml bottle I purchased (December 2020.batch) - it smelled different, way less sweetness compared to what it used to be, as if the kulfi note was missing and much weaker 😔 I wish I bought back up bottles a few years ago. Thanks for the great review, Aaron. Looking forward to the next one 👍
Thank you for the information about the year of release. Fortunately, I have a back up bottle from previous years. And about new releases, what's the problem with buying yourself a bottle, but checking before its batch code? You can always find bottles from previous years on eBay or Amazon. Or check the batch code online before ordering. I absolutely don't see any problem, at all) there's a desire - there will be opportunities
@@sandromateush9650 I purchased it online and couldn't see the batch code ahead of time. I will be buying one from a Tom Ford counter soon to see if I get a good bottle
This is another gorgeous option for Dates, as it really represents Tom Ford, the handsome gentleman this is exactly what you get with Noir Extreme. it's not very strong, for me personally I'd prefer it to be stronger like Tobacco Vanille, but that's really my only complaint with it. for Bars or Clubbing you go with Tobacco Vanille or Ombre Leather, and for Dates you can go with this as this would be perfect for cuddling, it's just a lot more subtle and pleasant for more intimidate situations. For that it even beats out La Nuit de L'Homme imo.
With Tom Ford oud wood, and this one my reactions are very similar to yours. I am curious which, fragrances from your line you wear the most that evoke similar experiences? Can you suggest the best way to find samplers for your fragrances in the USA?
I'd like to see your thoughts on Polo Green. Not the newer version (intense) but the Green bottle with thr gold cap. Older scent that I just rediscovered. I didn't like it until now when I was purposefully looking for a non-sweet scent.
my all time favourite house. got the whole noir line, just need get noir de noir. but I am also thinking finishing my collection off with Pour Femme. Sahar Noir is just impossible to find. 😩
This is my signature scent and I’m a 19yo girl Forever obsessed I don’t think there is a more seductive/intimate scent for a man/woman out there A true gem 💎🌟🌟 Thank you for this ! ❤️
Did you try Noir pour Femme? That's the women's version of Noir Extreme. I haven't smelled it yet (would like to try it as an idea for my Mum or sister's birthday/Christmas presents). Apparently it's very similar but slightly more floral!
@@lukeweeks3470 yes I have had both. However the extreme won me. It is true about performance and longevity, however take into account that each person has an individual body chemistry at different times. Also the seasons and the climate also play a role A perfume in warmer places may bring out certain notes while in colder places it may smell different and project different.
I’ve just got some, Jesus it’s strong. I have to be careful the amount sprayed on. I love the different notes coming out as it dries. I’m no fragrance expert, but it does slightly resemble Spicebomb.
