Noir - 213

Name: Noir - 213 Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Essence Vault

The Essence Vault Noir - 213 is an Eau de Parfum. Noir - 213 opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Iris and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. The Essence Vault's Noir - 213 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 213 takes its cue from Tom Ford's Noir, chasing the same after-dark, powdery-woody mood without the polish of the original's saffron-tinged base. The opening is a sharper, more assertive pink pepper than Noir's rounder citrus-spice blend, quickly settling into a violet and iris heart that reads recognisably powdery but a touch two-dimensional next to the real thing's layered complexity. Patchouli and amber anchor the base, giving reasonable warmth and lasting power for the price, though projection tapers faster than the designer version and the overall effect feels more like a confident sketch of Noir's mood than a faithful reproduction of its depth. Best suited to cooler months and evening wear where its intimate, slightly spicy sophistication has room to work without needing to compete for attention.
