Noir Pour Femme

DENSE AND CREAMY MILK DESSERT [brief review] For me, San Paulo is the heart of Latin America. It's a lively, colourful and very cosmopolitan city. I lived in São Paulo for almost four years and I have to confess that I fell madly in love with the city. It's too busy, too big, too tall, too unsafe, too crowded, but extremely attractive. It's the least xenophobic city I know. Unlike all the other big metropolises, here live side by side Italians, Portuguese, Japanese, Koreans, Jews, Spaniards, Argentinians, Germans, Armenians, Syrians, Lebanese... and perhaps also some Brazilians who have forgotten their genealogical origins. All of these different ethnic groups preserve their original customs and no one bothers with the tastes of others. These different traditions are reflected in the food ingredients, the dishes and the spices used. Everyone strives to maintain and even improve their traditional flavours and aromas. Meals tend to be very tasty, rich and fun. You can choose to eat in hundreds of restaurants of very different styles. We often get the impression that São Paulo's culinary variants are better than the originals. In São Paulo, I've eaten the best Italian pizza, the best Portuguese cod, the best Spanish paella, the best German eisbein and the best Arab hummus. That day, my wife and I opted for a typical Brazilian brunch. My wife confessed that she was looking forward to a dessert of canjica, a calorie bomb made with caramelised condensed milk. It's very popular on Valentine's Day, whether you're eating it alone or with your better half. But above all, only if you're a very greedy person. Although historically this dessert originated on the Iberian islands of the Atlantic, it is now considered a traditional Brazilian recipe. "I'm sorry, my love, but how did you think of that just now? Let's choose a nice aliche pizza and drink some coconut water or soursop juice," I said. "My dear, you smell like canjica everywhere, so you must have eaten it earlier today. Let's pretend it's still a good time to gorge ourselves on canjica," she replied. That morning, I'd only had a cup of coffee, toast with butter and a slice of papaya. I couldn't smell any kind of dessert... could I? So I simply said to her: "Darling, smell my neck!" "Wow! You must have shaved with Canjica this morning, I'm sure you did..." she said. The mystery is solved! Tom Ford's very unisex "Noir pour Femme" smells like a Brazilian dessert of caramelised condensed milk! In my collection, I have many perfumes labelled as being for women. Noir pour Femme" is another one of them. It opens fresh with citrus and ginge, but quickly evolves into a heart with florals and a strong sweet note, namely the sweet Indian dish called Kulfi. This dessert flavour is very similar to that of Canjica but with an oriental twist. There are nuances of rose, mango, cardamom, saffron and pistachio, as well as the scent of condensed and caramelised milk. The woody, amber base reveals a sweet, smooth continuity. It is rich in vanilla and sandalwood on a base of balsamic and slightly herbaceous resins. I describe this fragrance as deeply oriental, unmistakably sweet, but not at all cloying. I find it extremely seductive and completely unisex. The performance is above average, even for a rather intense Tom Ford, and the projection will delight any addict of sweet oriental perfumes. I know of few perfumes that manage to be so suited to the typical mid-season climate. This fragrance is an excellent suggestion for autumn or spring. I imagine that many men would also buy this perfume if "Noir Extreme" wasn't available. However, for me, the similarity between these two perfumes is minimal and I found it perfectly justifiable to buy both for my use. Note: "Noir Pour Homme" is very different from the two "Noirs" I mentioned above and is only suitable for men. Music: Joe Dassin - "L'Été Indien"

Just received my (clone) bottle today. I wish I'd known about this before I bought "Noir Extreme" and "Musc Ravageur" a year ago and wasted all that time and money. THIS...is the fragrance I'd been looking for. I don't know which notes are in the "Noir Extreme" that are not in this one...but THIS ONE is what I desired when I wanted a powdery posh fragrance. This is creamy, powdery, lightweight and yet still strong enough to be noticed when I walk around. Where "Noir Extreme" felt "Surly old man-ish", "Noir Pour Femme" is light...youthful and happy. I definitely get a mix of the Ginger, Mandarin Orange and Bergamot mixed with the Kulfi and Orange Blossom on the opening when sprayed. About 15 minutes later I get a combination of the Jasmine, Vanilla, Amber and Sandalwood with the powdery-creaminess of the Kulfi. I'm not sure what Mastic/Lentisque smells like so I can't comment on that/those. I've only worn this fragrance tonight after getting out of the shower, but so far...it's performing just the way I desire. Strong enough for me to smell and those close to me with 3-4 sprays...but not filling the room. I have other beast-mode powdery frags for that. My wife and I both love the fragrance and were going to share a bottle, but I decided to just order her another bottle so that we can both spray to our delight. EDIT/UPDATE: This is just EVERYTHING!! I am definitely buying a backup bottle of this to accompany my bottle before it's not available anymore. I don't think my wife will wear hers enough to run out any time soon. I know I will....This just goes with everything I love to wear and it stands solo perfectly as well. This is THE "Multitool-Fragrance" in my collection....wow.

First Impressions (The Impression): NOTE: I smelled this perfume in stores, or at least when they had it in stores. I bought the rollerball impression of this perfume and it exactly smelled the same to me on skin as it did on the actual perfume. I bought an impression of it on Amazon. Now onto the review. This perfume is perfect for winter time. It’s warm cozy, and gourmand. I will be honest that men who smelled this perfume on me don’t like it on my body chemistry, but I personally won’t ever stop wearing it. It does give me femme fatale vibes for sure. If you’re looking for a femme fatale vibe this is definitely a good one to try. Edit 1 (01/06/2024): This is a warm thick complex perfume that may give some people older woman vibes, but I loved it. I used all of the roller ball of this stuff. Unfortunately, this perfume has sadly been discontinued...what a shame. I will also have to say that after retrying this perfume for the juice has gotten more sweet, or maybe my taste has drastically changed over the years. Summary: Smells like: An older femme fatale, complex, sexy, and very sweet. Family of: None that I've tried Silage: Medium-Strong (The rollerball version) Verdict: Pass- I won't be buying any of Tom Fords perfumes due to them being: 1. Way to overpriced considering the longevity and the silage is known to be terrible.. 2. After they come out they will eventually be duped. 3. This perfume is discontinued. 4. This is very much a wintery perfume, and I unfortunately get to have frigid winter very rarely.

If I had to move away and take only 5 perfumes, this one would be coming with me! It's just incredible- creamy, woody, a little sweet. Interestingly enough, I hated it on first sniff. It was a blind buy, and a risky one for the price, so you can imagine my disappointment when the opening wasn't to my taste. It had reminded me in the opening of something my grandma used to wear (My grandma has amazing taste in perfumes and they all smell beautiful on her, but I find them a bit mature-leaning on myself.) I think my problem with it may have been the citrus, which came off as sharp and sour, mingling with something lactonic, and maybe a musky animal note that's not listed. But within 5 minutes, it softened to the cosiest, warmest, richest gourmand I have ever smelled. I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist! It's reminiscent somehow of white chocolate, slightly powdery in a way, and the orange blossom transforms this into an amazing realistic vanilla cheesecake. I love it so much, it adds a versatility to my collection and I genuinely think there's nothing equivalent. With that being said, how could they discontinue it!!? I'm just now nearing the end of my bottle and have no idea where to find a reasonably priced replacement. This might be the closest thing to heartbreak I've felt... you know you have a perfume problem when you find yourself grieving it like you've lost a friend. If anyone has any suggestions on where to find this in the UK, please PM me!!
