Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Extreme Parfum
A truly polarising Tom Ford, Noir Extreme Parfum inspires devotion and disdain in equal measure. It's either an opulent, creamy gourmand masterpiece that lasts for ages and gets showered in compliments, or an artificial, fleeting mess that smells of cigarettes, raisins, or even urine. Don't blind buy this one.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Paramour Eau de Parfum
A smooth, sweet leather that’s much softer than its cousins. Paramour is an approachable gourmand leather with mass appeal, perfect if you want something less aggressive than the usual suspects.

Season and Occasion Fit

Noir Extreme Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a powerfully sensual and luxurious scent, making it perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement. Its intensity and occasionally divisive nature mean it's less suited for an office environment, and definitely not for casual daytime wear or sport.

Paramour Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While it can be a 'beast' on projection, its softer, smoother leather profile makes it more versatile than sharper leather scents. It shines on dates and formal evenings, but is too prominent for daily office wear and certainly not for sport.
