Yeah, it's a great scent. Much more versatile than Tobacco Vanille IMO. I get a sweet chocolaty rose vibe.
I just received this 4 ml sample of noir de noir... I haven't even done a full wear of this one yet, but just sniffing it on my wrist is just freaking unbelievable... Smells so good... The dark rose note is just lovely... I think I am in Love with this one... Noir De Noir is a Super Model in my book... I give this one A perfect 10 even before doing a full wear...

Glad you like it! One of his best offerings from the Private Blend line.
This one has surpassed TV on my fave Tom Ford fragrances list.

Agree. I love this one as well and as much as I love TV, it is more versatile.

I might even like it more than Rose 31. Noir Noir is one of my favorite Tom Fords with Tuscan leather and Tobacco Vanille.
Please visit my SALES thread! HERE
This thread makes me more determined to try this scent.
Hopefully TPC or STC get their stuff sorted so I can get some of this
I'm watching these samples on ebay actually haha. Once i get a bit more cash, i'll try a sample. It sounds so smellifully wonderful.
What I get out of Noir de Noir is.... Amouage Epic Woman and Le Labo Rose 31...

Noir de Noir is probably my favorite from the Tom Ford Private Blends. It's becoming one of my favorites for evening wear.
Yes, it rocks.
Agreed - intoxicating scent!
Glad I have a bottle its amazing. A masterpiece to my nose.
I really like Noir de Noir when I first sampled it. Will go to Nieman Marcus just to spray it again.... don't have the budget to buy a bottle yet.
Best masculine rose I've tried, IMO. Also, Tobacco Vanille used to be my favorite... until I started wearing Noir de Noir.
Ah good to know theres a place you can actually buy FB's from, usually dont do much shopping in the city and none of the other DJ's stores have them.
I actually have zero doubt I will like the scent more just a case of acquiring a spray sized sample which is where tpc et al usually come in, as I dont imagine DJ's are going to hand that outWhoever mentioned ebay isnt far off the mark, seems like theres at least 2 reliable sellers on there with a few mls of this stuff so yay

Fully agree - NdN is just fantastic stuff and practically free compared to by Killian's Rose Oud- and to my nose, Rose Oud can't hold a candle to NdN.
Didn't someone once compare one of the Armani Prive's to this scent (I think it was Redneck Perfumisto) saying that he preferred the Prive, slightly? I think it was Royal Oud that was being compared..
I appreciate it, but my first impression was a sort of loud and extremely feminine perfume that I've smelled before on old women. There is no way I'd wear this.
I generally will wear what I like, regardless of gender classification. But how "unisex" is this one? Is it neutral or does it lean on the feminine side?
I love it, I sometimes add a spritz of Tuscan Leather to give a slight masc edge to it but regardless, this will always be my number one TF PB. Longevity and projection of this is also amazing.
I found it nauseating .... at first, I tried hard to like it , but something about it turned me off.
First, it smells like alcohol and roses. Roses in liquor.
I don't want to smell like I'm drunk, I don't drink actually and the smell is very alcoholy, and the roses ..... just nauseates me now and dislike the scent. Feels tacky and inappropriate in every way.
Feminine, but I wouldn't want a girl I'm with to smell like this. It's something a call girl would wear.
+1 to Guerlain L'Instant, I didn't like it at first but now really like it after actually wearing it, instead of simply smelling it from the sample.
When I tried it a month ago on my recent Vegas sampling binge I found it wearable but it did not impress me and also was not to my personal preferences (nor have any of the other Tom Fords save Tobacco Vanille, for that matter). Glad it clicked with you though, change1. I am always happy to see a fellow basenoter find a scent that works perfectly to their tastes...

It always makes a major impression on my girlfriend. She's borderline obsessed with it.
