Tom Ford Japon Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Pierre Negrin. Japon Noir settles into a heart of Bergamot and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vetiver, and Jasmine. Tom Ford's Japon Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A legendary, if divisive, Tom Ford creation that’s gone down in the annals of fragrance history. Expect a dark, leathery, woody scent with immense power, but prepare for some serious hunting to get your hands on it. Those who love it, really love it; others find it a bit dated.

About

Japon Noir opens with a burst of bright bergamot and a distinctive, almost medicinal leather, quickly deepening into rich, earthy patchouli and vetiver. Amber adds a sweet, resinous warmth, while a hint of jasmine provides a subtle, unexpected floral lift. The dry-down is a complex symphony of dark woods and leather, creating a long-lasting, mysterious aura.
