Great review, Chris. I was afraid the Parfum might not be too different. You’d think after all these years after the release of the OG, they’d make it a bit more special. I’m sure it smells nice and I plan to try it, but I’m a bit sad to hear that we’re yet again getting a slightly unremarkable designer release.
I've been testing this one for a week or so and everything you say, I agree with. One thing is, if you're buying the perfum because, like everyone else, edp isn't strong enough, you might be disappointed. It's not a "beast mode" edition of the edp. It smells significantly different and isn't too much stronger.
The extreme parfum is absolutely phenomenal…very sensual, dark and mysterious. Performance is also markedly better (projection and sillage) than the EDP.
You cant deny TF set a new standard with Oud Tobacco/Wood, Tobacco Vanille, Noir De Noir, Tuscan Leather. Even Noir Extreme I personally believe was greater than some of his private line! I cant help but feel that with the number of releases TF is producing now ( I know its Estee Laudee) and reformulations plus parfums versions. Is the TF house still worth it in the fragrance market?
@@Morowinger Don't disagree, but the designer/niche price argument only works because designers get volume discounts. I question whether "niche" is worth anywhere near what is charged, and to my nose at least, TF perfumes are always high quality, so a slightly higher price might be justified compared to the average designer. Not a fanboy though 😂😅
Great review, I love your way of thinking and it's very easy to relate to. Not over the top or crazy, just a calm, logical, mature and down to earth way of presenting your thoughts.
Gold and shiny is nice, but I would prefer to have a strip from bottom to top that has no shiny coating, so I can see how much is left in the bottle... Other than that, it's a fantastic smell.
Just picked up a 100ml bottle of the parfum discounted to €150, have the EDP too, I really enjoy both but if I could only have one it would be the Parfum, very similar rationale to yourself, great video
I never pulled the trigger on Noir Extreme because it was just so intensely cardamom on me, I might like this better just from the deeper notes. I like a woody profile. Thanks for your input! Cheers
Thanks for reviewing this one, can’t wait to test it myself. Any idea when this will be widely available? Wasn’t able to find it yet in The Netherlands
Am looking forward to trying this 1 out very soon!! Along with all the other new releases!! This is 1 I've been waiting for this for a while. Great vid Chris 👌
Gonna sample it.. Am I gonna buy it? Maybe not, because the price is very high and I may buy a Xerjoff fragrance instead, since I already own the EDP version.
I blind bought Noir Extreme EDP. The scent is pretty fine, but nothing groundbreaking and honestly there are a ton of Designer Scents that do the same Job. But for a Parfum for €150 the performance is weak and a total disappointment. Well, the new one will also find his Fanboys and will be overhyped as the EDP.
My sample just arrived today. I need to have a personal rating of 10/10 to buy a full bottle of any Tom Ford fragrance. With saying that, I have full bottles of Tobacco Vanille (also have the body spray which is on par) and Oud Wood.
I am excited to buy this one next after loving Ombre Leather, whew,nice,yay got it today and it was expensive but worth every dollar.The bigger bottle is the best option but it'll cost almost three hundred $$$$$$$$$$$$$$297 at Dillard's. Yay.
Just my 2p… if you have the original, don’t waste your money unless you just collect for the sake of collecting or need a gold coloured bottle in your life. 😁 And the longevity isn’t that great, it’s a pass for me at the moment. Thanks Chris
The noir extreme parfum performs very well. I’m getting the feeling that most of the people complaining either can’t afford it so they’re bitter, or are buying fakes
@@pwj86772 tuscan, leather and oud wood are two of my favorite frags, but they have reformulated the Tuscan leather and oud wood has a poor performance for the price. By the way, price is not an issue
@@tonymarinelli7304 yeah, oud wood doesn’t perform the greatest. About 4-5 hours average for me. I usually carry a decant to reapply on days where i wear it (which isn’t often anymore)
This skews more smoky Vanillic Sandalwood with Indian Ginger , the original is more Cinnamalic- Ambery akin to Spicebomb, I prefer this new Parfum better. The beauty of this is in the drydown
Got mine on Friday and I got Chocolate on the opening maybe my nose but Helen my partner said the same without prompt! Agree that they are similar I have both. Still not sure which I prefer yet 😊
when i smelled this in the store (only off a strip) i couldn’t help but get stuck on what felt like a very dirty element to the fragrance, like literal dirt. sweetness + dirt is all i could attribute to it, but i’d love to test it on skin to see if anything is different
Thanks for the review. I get the pencil shaving comparison. I get that from BDKs Gris Charnel. I think it's the wood and metallic vibe. Thanks again. 👍 Btw, my wife seldom comments on what I'm wearing unless she really likes it or really doesn't.
I'd put Tom Ford and Prada in a select group of designers for whom I am okay paying retail for a bottle I just can't play the waiting game on. They are in the top-tier from a quality perspective and it shows in their fragrances. That said, all of my TF and Prada bottles are from before their acquisitions by Estee Lauder and L'Oreal respectively, so I can't speak to any reformulations that have happened since.
Agree. I pay retail for this as I have TF Oud Wood and Tabacco Vanille. TF delivers the goods and this bad boy the extreme noir is a scent that says I have arrived in life.
Was waiting for your review on this once I first heard about it, I own the original so going to pass on the parfum but looking forward to getting my nose on it in a store.
I have Noir Extreme! I like it but I rarely wear it! I wore it one time when I went out to eat with my Mom,and she commented that I smelled great! You should do a video on what the father of the groom or even the groom should wear in a wedding? Ps. My 25yr old son is getting married in October? I just got fitted for a black tux and bow tie,so I want to look and smell like 007!
@@rockyl9120 I have a way cheaper clone of Oud Wood called Versace Oud Noir and I rarely wear it! But thanks for the suggestion! I'll probably wear either Armani Code Absolu or PDM Layton!
@@vincenthusvh Thanks but the wedding is October 8, 2022. So I don’t have a place that sells it here in Ohio,and I only have a couple of days! I picked out Rochas Moustache,a clone of Dior Tuxedo.
I haven't tried it on skin yet but Noir extreme smells like a woman's perfume on the test strip so I never went near it i was shocked how much i disliked it because i love my oud wood and oud minerale
Love your style and reviews . It’s a pass for me . But I want to get the gray vétiver from TF I think it’s amazing alternatively will get the git from creed as next purchase .
Someone's offering me the edp for my silver mountain water, I just tried 14 sprays minimum of Tom ford for him edt, reminds me of Calvin klein obsession
is there an alternative to the parfum that has more protection? i love the scent so much but u spray 3 times and no one can smell me unless they stick their nose directly on me :(
I’ve had noir extreme edp since Christmas, I do like it, however considering the price the atomiser is absolutely terrible, the cap feels cheap, honestly I’ve experienced higher quality with cheapies, and although I like the scent the performance really isn’t great, maybe the Parfum is better, I hope the atomiser is
Thats tom ford in a nutshell. Cheap plastic bottles and watered down juice. You just pay for the name (as nice as the scents are). Tom Ford has always let me down in terms of silage and longeivity, and cheap plastic bottles and atomisers
@@ngliscsaxon6128That's not quite accurate. The Private Collection has quality bottles with good performing (and beautiful) scents. For me, only the scent matters. I don't mind the presentation, and even not the performance - if it smells awesome but has poor performance, I'll respray every 3-4 hours... it's the scent that matters.
. They've just shine this bottle up like they did the Black Orchid perfum and they're both a bit smoother than their predecessor.. I say purchase both set them on your dresser and pronounce them man and wife
I think I’m the only person who hates the all gold bottle look that Tom Ford uses. 1. It hides the juice level. 2. It scratches and wears off over time, which makes the bottles look bad. 3. It’s a bit cheesy IMO. Sorry I’m in the minority here.
Hi! Would you tell me more about whether he Parfum is more or less female appropriate ? Since they discontinued the female version I am using the extreme one and was wondering about the perfume ❤️😘
To me, they are not even a "designer" fragrance. These could have easily been in the private collection, and people would have paid that premium for them. The fact that they aren't is a good thing because we don't have to spend hundreds for the scent
Strange to hear peoples experiences with the EDP as it won’t leave me alone if it gets on my skin. I don’t really wear fragrances for compliments or attention. But the EDP gets me attention in the cold weather. A lot of…erm…attention. :) Tom Ford keep raising their prices and the counters at my local perfume shops are protective of the testers. Even more than the Creed reps are. I’ve heard of the Parfum but not seen it on the shelves so far to test.
Same mate, might be the strongest longest lasting fragrance i own, amazed when people call it a skin scent with weak performance, stays on me until i shower.
TF is expensive for a reason, Companies like TF are for Rich people and Rich people dont want to wear something that masses wear. And honestly even people that can't afford them want them because its hard to get them and that triggers them. If ever TF lower their price's it will be the end of them. Its all about marketing and prestige.
In terms of longevity and projection, it's pretty much in the same range as the edp. Tom Ford should be ashamed of himself, with 200 bucks plus for 50 ml in my country, the strength is abysmal. The value for money is just not there at all.
Weak performance and absolutely not worth the price for the inferior quality-not the smell but the less oil content, making it evaporate within an hour 😂
So Tom Ford is on the cusp of being too expensive, but you're ok paying much higher Creed, Amouage, Parfums de Marly prices, and even SELLING Roja Parfums at their much inflated pricing? 🤑🤣
Those are all niche fragrance houses. Tom Ford is a designer fragrance, and those tend to be cheaper than niche... in terms of designer, Tom Ford is the most expensive, and I think it's fair to question the price given the lane it's in
I got all of them four yesterday I would like to say the golden bottle is worth every penny outstanding in every way, Tom Ford is a artist
I can't wait to try it. Noir Extreme is one of my all time favourite fragrances.
Great review, Chris. I was afraid the Parfum might not be too different. You’d think after all these years after the release of the OG, they’d make it a bit more special. I’m sure it smells nice and I plan to try it, but I’m a bit sad to hear that we’re yet again getting a slightly unremarkable designer release.
Thanks Justin. Yeah it’s very nice but not remarkable. I’d prefer a few more original releases rather than flankers. Chanel I’m looking at you!
@@FRAGMENTAL yes! I’ve been tapping my foot waiting on Chanel for years now. BDC is great-we get it. What else ya got?
I could get excited about an Antaeus Parfum!
Unremarkable?? Don’t listen to this guy. The parfum version is way better than the OG. Try it first before hearing a UA-camrs opinion
TF NEP is among my top 3 most favs in a collection of aprx 100 bottles. Its THAT good!❤

Noir extreme is beastly already.
@@taintedlife2618 not really! It’s close to the skin! Very amazing scent but projection isn’t that great
@@taintedlife2618 beastly? are u mad? is probably my weakest frag, although it smells heavenly
They must have changed the formula then. Because the regular version I bought in 2015 is a beast. Couple sprays and that's it ALL DAY power.
The extreme parfum is absolutely phenomenal…very sensual, dark and mysterious. Performance is also markedly better (projection and sillage) than the EDP.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Precise and honest ! Excellent review !!! My choice remains EDP ! Prices are exorbitant, of course !

Don’t think so TF has a lot of Fanboys. The Scents are ok at best nothing you wouldn’t find in the Designer world. The scents are way Overpriced.
