The review
On paper, Japon Noir is a strong bet if you want Japon Noir for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Japon Noir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 94% less than Japon Noir.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on aldehydes, bergamot and black pepper, turns to osmanthus, incense and cardamom, and settles into woody notes, amber and benzoin. That is the brief Japon Noir is working from.
Top
- aldehydes
- bergamot
- black pepper
Heart
- osmanthus
- incense
- cardamom
Base
- woody notes
- amber
- benzoin
Aldehydes and osmanthus over incense and warm woods; refined, smoky and quietly opulent.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Tom Ford Japon Noir we can price, Japon Noir is number 3 on price per 100ml.
