Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Noir EDT is a divisive beast. Some adore its classic, sophisticated charm, comparing it to storied fragrances, while others dismiss it as generic or overly dated. If you're after a refined take on a vintage vibe, this might be for you, but be prepared for strong opinions from those around you.
No. 213 leans on Tom Ford Noir's powdery violet-iris-patchouli skeleton but renders it flatter and louder up top, with a spicier pink pepper opening standing in for Noir's costlier bergamot-cardamom nuance and a shorter, thinner dry-down.
