What Reddit owners say
4/5 SummerWinter“30+ age here: Noir extreme Parfum/Halfeti, good with either Penhaligon's Babylon Cognac de Ange from Montagne I'm a cold weather guy, so my scents tend to reflect that. I haven't yet found a worthwhile summer scent”
5/5“Homie was probably dying for front row X Games tickets with a Go Gurt and dunk a Roos. Kidding - love the collection, but I do miss the days of everything being EXTREME I have noir extreme Parfum and I can't imagine not owning it long term”
5/5 Summer“Sorry, but I have give two…if Tom Ford Noir Extreme could be worn in the summer, it'd be THE one. The other is Burberry Touch. They both smell incredible to me. I never tire of them.”
5/5 Unique“I'm glad you like it mate I smelled Noir Extreme EDP on a tester strip at an airport and immediately caught the kulfi note. I LOVE kulfi...it's such a unique note to put in an frag. I bought a bottle. On skin it just sucks man....it's been WEEKS and I spray it on my skin trying so hard to fall in love with it but can't. Noir extreme was an epic fail for me but I'm glad you didn't suffer the fate I did.”
4/5 Sweetness“Try layering Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Tom Ford Noir Extreme Parfum. I have them both and they layer into a nice sweet tobacco”

5/5 Value“Noir Extreme is one of my first “expensive” loves. I got a 100mL for $180. I know it's not listed but they've got to be comparable priced for the most part. Acting like every TF is $300+ is wrong lol.”
5/5 Date night“tom ford noir extreme and armani code parfum have fantastic scent profiles that will draw them in without screaming in their face. disclaimer: i havent been on a date in god knows how long so this is not tried and tested”
4/5“Noir Extreme is good too, and I have it, but don't wear it much. Nothing wrong with it, just don't go for it often.”
4/5 WinterFall“Noir Extreme Parfum has been a go-to for me even before I got into fragrances. You have great taste. I just picked up Memo Paris African Leather for fall/winter, I think considering your taste you would reeeeaaaally enjoy it.”
5/5“1) Noir Extreme Parfum - I cannot explain why exactly it is about thid that I love this, but I spend the day smelling my wrist when I wear jt”
4/5“Middle eastern fragrances hype train. I bought more than a 100 bottles of those ME clones inspite of having all good designers and some TF like Noir Extreme and Ombre Leathers 😬”
5/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“All of these are beautiful scents. I'm a big fan of Halfeti and TF's Noir Extreme, I love wearing these in the winter. I'm a woman and I prefer fresh fruity feminine florals in the spring and summer and I like to go dark and spicy in the darker days.”
3/5 SummerFall“For early fall it is Noir Extreme Parfum and Purple Orchid from TF. For summer I would say Chanel Allure Edition Blanche or Superleggera, also get your nose on Chanel Antaeus, I assume you wouldn't like it but I think it has grown on me alot, it does smell like an older person at times but it is great, reminds me of the late 80s and early 90s”
4/5“Enjoy! I used to actively hate on Noir Extreme for many years. Then my frontal lobe developed and now I absolutely love it. If I remember, NE Parfum is very similar to NE EDP, but is a bit sweeter. How would you compare them?”
4/5“Noir extreme is great, i got it too but for some reson dont end up wearing it that much.”
5/5“Designer side I have black orchid, noir, noir extreme (my favorite TF) and ombré leather. I've sold off some in the past and sample most of the OG private blend which was an amazing time in fragrance.”
4/5“Tom Ford Noir and Noir Extreme. I have the latter and it's a soft projector, but smells quite nice”
1/5 Value“I own one Tom Ford in Noir Extreme. However I've tried probably 20 others. I think the unwearable comment is valid. The freshies don't last and the stronger ones tend to be based on one note and not necessarily a note you want to smell like all day. Then you add the price being well up there and it just doesn't seem worth it compared to Creed, Guerlain, Parfums De Marley and Amouage etc”
4/5“My colleagues always have great things to say about how I smell when I wear: Bois Imperial, Noir Extreme Parfum, Naxos, and Hacivat. On the flip side, I was asked to never wear Accento again, haha.”
5/5“Cis woman, and TF Noir Extreme is amazing on me.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Everyday“Yes to TF Noir Femme!! That used to be my signature scent. Still have two partial bottles and don't wear them as much these days. The noir and noir extreme are a close match but not 100%”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I'm only recently coming off the freshies into more tobacco and leather. It's also a season thing I guess. I tried Noir Extreme Parfum and I'm hooked.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I own and wear Tom Ford's Noir Extreme and V&Rs Spice Bomb. Both marketed to men.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) SummerWinter“Haven't found a spring/summer one from them that's right for me yet, but I wear Noir Extreme with a light layer of Ebene Fume for fall winter religiously. They aren't afraid to swing big and bold and it makes all the difference.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“My dad is a huge Tom Ford fan, and I believe he has noir extreme. The reason I got into cologne was because he sprayed me with Fuckin' Fabulous when I went to prom.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Yeah, I started buying smaller bottles of everything because I like the variety. I have a 2 oz of LNDL and would add a 1.7 oz of Noir Extreme if I did add it.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Winter“the sad part is i'm in SOUTH Texas and all I like is winter scents 💔 I have a TF Noir Extreme and Layton.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Making me chose between all the Tom Ford's is just mean; but if I have to pick one, the Noir Extreme Parfum is pretty special”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Noir extreme itself barely had that kulfi note. I tried it once after falling for the hype. It's very mediocre for what it is, atleast for me”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“But I have Layton, Herod, Pegasus, Black orchid, noir extreme, tobacco vanille, jpg (le male elixir, le male le parfum), Prada paradigme edp and probably one or two others that will be rotating as well.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Longevity“The 4 I have :Byredo young rose, LV imagination, tom ford noir extreme. Honorable mentions : creed pure white cologne (didn't last long ) ”
