Which Should You Buy?
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Noir Extreme (2015) - mandarin orange, kulfi and amber translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
This Penhaligon's gem was tragically discontinued after a brief run, leaving a loyal cult following yearning for its dark, sophisticated embrace. If you ever stumble upon a bottle, you've found liquid gold.
