Noir Pour Femme

Noir Pour Femme from Tom Ford, released in 2015 and composed by Sonia Constant, is a warm, citrus-lit floral. People agree it is floral and citrusy, while a minority describe spice, sweetness, wood and amber.

It opens with bergamot, mandarin and bitter orange for a bright, slightly bitter citrus start, sharpened by ginger. The heart combines rose, jasmine and orange blossom with kulfi, an Indian frozen dessert note that brings a creamy, milky and slightly spiced sweetness. The base is smooth and enveloping: sandalwood gives a creamy wood, vanilla and amber a warm glow, and mastic a resinous, faintly green and balsamic nuance.

People report moderate wear, with a good share finding it long lasting, and a moderate trail. It is voted mostly for winter and autumn and leans towards evening, which suits dinners, nights out and cold weather. It fits someone who likes creamy, slightly exotic florals with a gourmand softness underneath.
