Another exquisite fragrance from Tom Ford. It opens with citrus followed by floral and spicy notes and remains with a woody tone until its death at six hours (on my skin). Recommended purchase.
In Noir Anthracite it seems Tom Ford wants to bring renewed approaches to the Chypre family. It reminds me of past formulas where citrus accords reigned; here the spicy association gives intense brightness. Perhaps to perpetuate its citrus spirit the spices have been assembled or masked very finely and successfully. That citrus-spicy ensemble leaves behind a green backbone with a mature impression but not old school; perhaps it contributes ebony wood and an undeclared note of dry vetiver like Grey Vetiver. The result is an elegant long-lasting mature bergamot with dark tints quite versatile earthy and suitable for all four seasons; it suits certain informality well and I see no problem with formality either. It provides excellent projection and longevity above average. I think it’s a great perfume moving within already established spectrums not novel; the combination manages to be precise and as expected it’s rare to see Mr Ford make a mistake. In short if I’d known it before I would have omitted buying Grey Vetiver EdP as this Noir Anthracite denotes more character in a darker approach than its sister GV.
A mature lordly and exquisite fragrance although it’s a scent we’ve all smelled on an uncle or a grandfather. There are chypre options at more accessible costs. A good Tom Ford product well-balanced. Not something to buy blindly nor for men over 35. Good alternatives include Loewe Esencia or Tsar by Van Cleef.
I recently acquired it blindly and it has disappointed me. I’m a lover of Tom Ford fragrances but not of ‘dark’ and metallic scents. It smells ‘dry’, metal, stone. It will have its audience, but it’s not my style.
In my city only one perfumer carries Tom Ford fragrances. While strolling this afternoon to welcome the Three Kings with the crowds at their peak I sprayed myself liberally. To be honest the longevity and sillage are weak and the three-figure price tag (like almost everything from the brand) is steep. All in all an indulgence. It starts spicy with pepper and evolves into something very dry: leather with cedar. Innovative? No. Classy? Yes. I think it’s an alternative to Terre d’Hermès though the latter is superior in distinction. As I’ve said before smelling a Ford reminds me of something I already know. It’s not a bad fragrance but it’s not groundbreaking either. Those who like the spicy pepper note with leather will adore it although the price makes you think twice.
It smells like stone, literally. Very rare.
A different sensation with this perfume, the same one Encre Noir gave me (they don’t look alike, clearly): dark, gothic, a bit threatening. The patchouli goes in the direction of Villoresi, which I tried some time ago, but here in Noir A., it’s softer and much less claustrophobic than the Italian designer’s. I don’t know if it’s precisely in line with my style, but one has to recognise that it has intrigued and pleased me equally. It seems a futuristic fragrance, suitable for the protagonist of a science-fiction film, the submerged city in a torrential rain, and the one seeking shelter under a gate. Nothing to do with the Noir EDT; I appreciate the fact that a flanker can have different characteristics. The performance is mid-level on my skin, with sufficient presence. A good creation by this designer, very modern with a nod to the past; in the dry-down, the woody base emerges with good balance and warmth. A mysterious proposal that I’ll try to decipher little by little.
Look, I’ve heard so much good about Tom Ford; I’ve it instilled in my instinct to try at least a couple of flushes of his ‘Noir de Noir’, I’m dying to smell it!!! Now I’m using something of his for the first time, and it’s ‘Tobacco Vanille’, and to start in the Tom Ford world, I have to say it’s madness. I’m looking at ‘Tom Ford Noir Anthracite Eau de Parfum’, but your reviews don’t leave me very satisfied. My question is… can anyone get me a sample of the famous ‘Noir de Noir’ (privately if you have), I’ll pay or swap it for one of the ones I have without issue, and suggest another Tom Ford fragrance, woodsy Asian style or similar, with a touch of sweetness without excess (vanilla, cocoa, etc…)? Thanks in advance, Jotge.
A bold and complicated fragrance, very complicated for me. As gmoranch says well, it smells like stone. Although it opens fresh, it has a point of acidity that repels me. Perhaps I need time to appreciate it.
For me it smells like an 80s fragrance but of the bad kind; I like different fragrances and it caught my attention but it’s a failed fragrance; neither the smell says anything nor is it pleasant nor does it add anything and on top of that I’ve sprayed it three times 45 minutes ago and I have to bring the drops that fell on my clothes close to my nose to smell it.
To me, it smells like a bad 80s fragrance. I like different fragrances and it caught my attention, but it’s a failed scent; the smell says nothing, isn’t pleasant, and adds nothing. On top of that, I sprayed it three times 45 minutes ago and have to bring the drops that fell on my clothes to my nose to smell them.
Well, after wearing it, I was very pleased with this fragrance. It’s an elegant Chypre, and as I mentioned in my first review, it reminds me of great fragrances; it has nothing to do with the other Noirs. It has plenty of wood, citrus, and is quite mineral. It doesn’t revolutionise anything, as it’s not innovative, but I like it immensely and I recommend it.
Today I received this beautiful package. I’d tried it on a friend a few months ago, remembered that I’d liked it very much, and it stayed in my mind as ‘a smell of hot asphalt with something mineral’. That became a mental note to buy it, hehe. Now with the perfume in hand, needless to say, the bottle is very pretty, has a good weight in the hand, and a pleasant texture. The cap closes without moving, forming a fairly compact monolith, with a very shiny pewter finish, almost metallic, which reminds me of mica – which, as far as I know, is what we call in Argentina that mineral that sometimes gathers on the beach, forming flexible layers that shimmer in iridescence… Well, I looked it up; what I mean is a silicate, white muscovite. Anthracite is another mineral; I’m reading that it’s a sort of fossilised form of coal: ‘over time, high pressure and temperature cause the coal mineral to concentrate until it forms lignite and then Anthracite’. Wow! What a particular inspiration for this perfume! First spray: an aldehyde opening that is dark. As other users say, it has a vibe reminiscent of old school (I think they call it a barbershop smell, I believe), but to me, it’s beautiful. Yes, with just this, I have no regrets about having bought it. 20 minutes in: the aldehyde tone softens, and for a while, a soft, dark, herbal, smoky sweetness takes ground. I wanted to do a blind test, but I couldn’t resist and read the notes… The woody tone of ebony is very noticeable, those warm halos that rise when cutting woods… There’s also a good dose of excellent-quality sandalwood. Sichuan pepper is noticeable too, but not so much its spicy tone as its aromatic side. It’s curious that despite carrying a mineral name, it’s such a warm perfume. Now, almost an hour and a half after application, it feels slightly more herbal. And so it stays for a good while, vibrating in those dark tones of creamy leather, barely sweet, and softly herbal, almost talc-like… In total, it generates the sensation of a rather realistic wood fragrance, leather, dark, dense, warm, and almost still. It makes me think of someone dressed in a black leather or vinyl trench coat, à la Matrix. The leather + green notes remind me a bit of the final, very final dry-down of My Heroine… or Aramis (which is more herbal than Cabochard)… I estimate that the colder it gets, the more attractive this perfume must become… Yesterday I applied this perfume twice on the front of my wrist. The first spray was around 10.30 am, and the second near 4 pm, two sprays to refresh the scent for the end of this review. Today, at noon, I can still perceive it on my skin; it doesn’t project but it’s there, subtle as a skin scent. After the second application and a few hours later, the projection wasn’t as strong, but when I brought my arm close to my nose (for example, while writing on the computer with my arms on the desk), it was a bit overwhelming at times. I think one needs to know how to dose it so as not to saturate the receptors. PS: I agree with Jberte above; it’s not revolutionary, it doesn’t seek to break trends, but it’s very well crafted, with much care and attention.
I’ve just received it, a blind buy during the lockdown. I’ve just applied it; first impression, it reminds me of classic 80s fragrances, although the notes don’t match. I applied it and Kouros came to mind. Well, I’ll let it do its work and I’ll continue later.

Anthracite is another mineral an almost fossilised form of coal: over time high pressure and temperature concentrate coal into lignite and then anthracite. Wow! What particular inspiration! First spray: aniseed opening and dark. As others say it has an old-school vibe (barbershop smell) but for me it’s beautiful. Just with that I have no regrets. After 20 minutes the aniseed tone softens and gains a sweet dark smoky herbal note. I wanted to do a blind test but couldn’t resist and read the notes… the woody tone of ebony is felt strongly those warm halos when cutting woods.

It’s a potent fragrance, with the quality we’ve come to expect from the brand. Now, perhaps it takes a little getting used to at first; it’s not a sweet opening like the Noir Extreme. The stone scent isn’t absurd; there’s a truth to it. It has personality, and that’s what a perfume needs. You have to try it. I loved it; my darling even went for a walk despite the lockdown… just kidding! Sorry, but I’d add that the perfume is incredible.
It’s a powerful perfume with the quality the brand has accustomed us to. Perhaps at first it takes a bit of getting used to; it’s not a sweet start like with Noir Extreme. The stone smell isn’t far-fetched; there is some truth to it. The perfume has personality; it has what a perfume must have. You must try it. I loved it; my beloved went for a walk despite the quarantine… haha! Sorry but I’d like to add that the perfume is incredible.
What a great discovery. For me, it is a Club de Nuit Intense of maximum quality; the resemblance is impressive, but here one notices an evolution and outstanding quality. Very happy with this find; for anyone who likes Club de Nuit Intense, it is a must-buy.
In my search for different aromas, I came across this piece by Tom Ford. Although I do not know the anthracite (the mineral it is supposed to be inspired by), I will describe the sensations. It confirms what many say: it recalls another era of perfumery, where ferns and intense fragrances reigned. This 2017 composition recalls several proposals from those years without quite defining any single one. The opening is aggressive and potent, with spices and a fresh citrus touch. The leather and wood base pushes from the start, creating a zone that becomes increasingly dark and dense. The grey of the bottle is perfect: it starts dark and crushing, with no return to light. Suddenly, green and floral effluvia appear, dyeing the scent with a pale, cold grey. Then, when it seems it is about to turn herbal, the unexpected happens: a nuance that conquers me. It is as if the mist and smog were the density, the night the cold, and the rain the humidity, but suddenly a soft breeze cuts through the grey streets. A surreal scent that makes me think of the colour orange, very subtly. It is as if time stopped to enjoy this moment, as if we were watching a film with a beginning and end written, but something drags us along for a moment. It is as if Honorine asked Jean-Claude for a little bitter orange from Terre d’Hermes. It is a moment, a sigh of 10 or 15 minutes, until they press play again and all the dream is consumed before the voracious darkness. It settles on the leather, woods and earthy patchouli with small sweet touches. Excellent quality, good performance and projection in the first two hours. In my opinion, very difficult to use (I still look at it sideways). But for those who like powerful 70s and 80s chypres and fougères, I encourage you to try it. It seems a modern reversion of the great classics. Many associate it with the atmosphere of Matrix, but I think the best representation in film is Batman and the gothic city.
Totally different from most, it smells of a wet slate quarry, the graphite of a pencil when sharpened (perhaps due to the cedar) and metal… I love it, I will be buying it soon.
For me one of Tom Ford’s jewels; it smells spicy metallic opening strongly with pepper and spices over a totally green note combined with leather. Undoubtedly different from many sweet and cloying options of today. In Mexico it’s hard to find but there may still be one or two out there that haven’t been properly valued. For me it’s the best of the Noir line and has the most projection and best longevity; I consider it ideal for night outings and perhaps also for the office but without abusing applications as it could become invasive. Although every head and nose is a world I can say it has nothing to do with CDNI neither by reminiscence nor by ingredient quality; it leans more towards the classic Chypres of the 80s and if it can resemble YSL Kouros or the new British Leather from Dunhill’s Signature collection.
Completely different from most; it smells of a wet slate quarry of the graphite in a pencil when you scratch it (perhaps linked also to the cedar pencils are made of) to metal… I love it I’ll be buying it soon.
For me, it is one of Tom Ford’s jewels. It smells spiced and metallic; it opens strongly with pepper and spices over a green note combined with leather. It is different from today’s sweet and cloying options. It is already hard to find in Mexico, but there may still be some that have not been properly appreciated. For me, it is the best of the Noir line, the one that projects the most and has the best longevity. Ideal for night outings and perhaps the office without overdoing it, as it could be invasive. Nothing like CDNI; it leans more towards classic 80s chypres, with a resemblance to YSL’s Kouros or the new British Leather by Dunhill.
Noir Anthracite is a strange olfactory experience, a chypre with 80s reminiscences and a steely tone. It bears a strong resemblance to the forgotten fragrance Wall Street. It is the black sheep of Tom Ford that will surely rise in price and become an object of desire. Yes, it is discontinued. If you can get a good price, it is a beautiful and masculine composition totally unlike anything else.
I won’t go into detail as it’s not my style. I see it as a formal fragrance with dark, deep elegance. The olfactory experience is a journey, but I really dislike that wet stone sensation. The scent is different and curious, but it doesn’t convince me; I’d find it hard to wear. I understand it’s good for collecting. The dry down is more pleasant, but the longevity is average, leaning towards low.
I won’t go into detail as it’s simply not a scent for me. I see it as a formal, elegant, and dark fragrance with a deep, profound character. As an experience, it’s a journey, but I really dislike the wet stone note. The aroma itself is different and intriguing, yet it just doesn’t suit me; I’d find it difficult to wear. I understand it’s a good option for collectors, though. It becomes more agreeable once it dries down. The longevity is adequate, leaning towards the lower end.
I see it as an updated chypre. It doesn’t smell dark, but rather of woods, green and patchouli; it reminds me of modernised Antaeus or Kouros, but wetter and darker. It’s very masculine, elegant and less animalic, perfect for suits, parties or special occasions, not for daily wear or the office. Longevity and sillage are high. It’s a first-class vintage perfume, a pity they’ve discontinued it; now it seems dated and stops being another option for lovers of this style.
What a strange and intriguing perfume. It took me a while to understand it. It smells of wet stone, cement, a dystopian city in the rain, or even what an alien spaceship might smell like. It’s an elegant chypre with an overwhelming personality, combining ebony and galbanum refreshed with citrus, pepper and a floral touch. It’s difficult to wear but very distinguished, fascinating and unconventional. I’m sorry they’ve discontinued it; it’s not for the masses and hardly profitable. I’m delighted to have known it and have a 10ml decant which is my treasure.
The opening is a knockout of galbanum that knocks you out just like Ajmal’s Vert, which is why people confuse the two. The opening is 99% identical, though they dry down differently. It’s one of Tom Ford’s most peculiar scents and has its own cult following. If someone told you it smelled like Gualtieri’s Viride without you having heard of that, you’d believe them. The bottle is spectacular: dark silver with spaceship-like sparkles that reflect the contents well. In short: a vintage green with futuristic overtones. Suitable for night wear in temperate climates. An alternative to Ajmal’s Vert. Do not buy blind.
Noir Anthracite is essentially a pepper bomb with an ebony, wood, leather and green note base, giving it a very elegant mineral air. Ideal for evening wear, it keeps you awake in a dreamy state and leaves everyone wanting more. It’s not easy to wear, yet not quite as risky as Comme des Garçons’ Pipeer; perhaps it’s a taste that needs winning. What a shame they’ve thrown it away and no longer sell it.
