Love your detailed breakdowns of fragrances. You're one of the few people on KZbin that actually educate the viewers! Keep it going!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

100%.

[@cuchanu]

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.

[@vincenthusvh]

@@cuchanu my point exactly!

[@ft3989]

@@cuchanu Indeed!! How odd that a professional Perfumer knows this much about perfumery. It's quite difficult to conceive it :D

[@HicKha]

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.

[@robusto7735]

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!!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you for watching.

[@bradfordbowers21]

I LOVE this scent. Was my first dive into more “mature” fragrances. However, I wish it projected more. Anyone else feel the same?

[@UABlackCat]

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.

[@boyzee5436]

Layer with ISO E Super. Apply ISO first then top it off with the Cologne

[@pytech7seven]

The cure is Noir Extreme Parfum. It's the golden bottle

[@robertpatter5509]

TF Noir EDP is a great one too. A bit easier to wear

[@ChristopherSisk]

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.

[@SWTmel]

This is my favorite scent at the moment. I love how he breaks it down! HE IS A BOSS FRAGRANCE REVIEWER! Glad I found this channel.

[@jabbasan12]

I love Aaron’s facial expressions as he is reading the marketing spiel. Great content as always Sir!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Who actually has time to read what marketing says. I want to get into the fragrance. I dislike being told what I should think.

[@wodkagorba5299]

Love watching these reviews. So sophisticated, relaxing and well done.

[@zachripa4158]

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 !

[@dantetrejo4680]

Great review, as always, thank you, Aaron. If you could please review the Noir de Noir by TF, it would be great!

[@c3ktlc3ktl85]

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. 👊🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@arim850]

Montale for me outperforms everything never tried br tho

[@Ventus7777]

One of my absolute favorites so I'm very pleased you enjoyed it! Honestly knew you would 😉

[@jura_rose]

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!

[@williamculp5361]

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!

[@kumarsen88]

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 :)

[@Lortiz555]

Currently waiting on my bottle, awesome to hear you liked it!

[@adriancano3991]

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

[@aleksaradojkovic3064]

Its the opposite for me, I don't think I have one light BLUE fragrance

[@Submersed24]

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.

[@ineedtochangemyname5803]

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.

[@dennisbank6517]

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.

[@GodSon10]

where did you get yours from and how many sprays do you wear?

[@Augustus88]

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!

[@dennisbank6517]

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.

[@GMAN9799]

What's your batch code, do they think it's been weakend ?

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.

[@defjulz]

Could you review Tom Ford Noir Anthracite? It’s polarizing but I love it.

[@TheAntifluencer]

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.

[@plamenski5244]

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 👍

[@sandromateush9650]

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

I think I prefer the original to the extreme. Have you smelled the original? Perhaps a comparison? Love the review thank you!!

[@lukeweeks3470]

I have an 100ml of this fragrance. The first Tom Ford I ever bought (after sampling of course). Sadly, during sampling I never noticed how poor the projection was on this fragrance for me. I'm really disappointed with that! Thankfully it is a beautiful skin scent and lasts there for about 8 hours. I absolutely love how it smells, but my personal favourite Tom Ford is either Beau De Jour (former private blend, now signature) and Oud Wood. If you haven't tried Beau De Jour I highly recommend trying a sample of it for review. It's really incredible! A modern take on a classic aromatic fougére "barbershop" kind of scent. Really, really powerful stuff too! If you think Noir Extreme is radiant, you haven't seen just how nuclear BdJ is. Fills a room with 2 sprays, no joke! I also recently got a chance to try one of your fragrances and would say from the one I've tried, you're quickly overtaking Tom Ford to be my favourite perfume brand! I really need to get my nose on more of your scents in the future.

[@UhrenErich]

Hey man thats funny because noir extreme was my first Tom Ford as well, after that came oud wood and a couple of weeks ago i got me a 100ml of beau de jour and i love it! You are right the performance of BdJ is very strong! I love the slightly sweet modern drydown

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.

[@skinnydippindan]

Brilliant scent. Picked up a bottle and am thoroughly enjoying it. It has earned a well deserved spot next to Old Wood.

[@costcoexecutivemember]

Wonder how it compares to Spicebomb Extreme?
