Tom Ford Noir Extreme Eau de Parfum 150ml Spray Afnan Perfumes Warm amber and peony —

Warm amber and peony — the floral that opens bright

then it settles into something warmer — amber and musk that sits close to the skin

Potion Arsenic opens with pink pepper and bitter almond — that slightly sharp

freshening rather than announcing — the kind of thing you notice again at 3pm and realise it's still there

so it lands confident without the shouty projection

Tom Ford Noir Extreme Eau de Parfum 150ml Spray Afnan Perfumes Warm amber and peony —Noir Extreme opens with cardamom and a sharp hit of bergamot, then settles into warm amber and vanilla not gourmand sweet, more like caramel that's been burnt at the edges. The woody base has spice running through it, so the whole thing reads dressed up rather than office safe. 150ml EDP for him. Four to five hours on skin, longer on clothes and collar. Two sprays is the sensible amount; three if you're in a room where people aren't sitting within
