Yesterday after more than 1 year gave Tom Ford Noir Extreme EDP a wear. Spicy sweet fragrance that projects decent for the first couple of hours than becomes a decidedly close to the skin scent. Definitely pickup on the warm cardamon, rose and vanilla in this one. Did some physical work at hour 9 and it temporarily amped up the scent but almost immediately toned down. This is an invitation to get someone to lean into you and enjoy the sweetness.
Rating 8.8/ 10
My knock is that the performance is weak for the cost on this one. Applied 10 sprays.
Today's choice of scent YSL La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Electrique. Better performance than Noir Extreme. Strong spicy fresh opening with ginger and cardamon the main players Moderate/strong projection for a little over two hours. Enjoy it and already received a couple of compliments. Have another backup bottle I acquired before they became stupid expensive.
Will update with final thoughts and ranking.
