A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Noire Extra For Men lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black XS.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Black XS's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

It is $89 per 100ml.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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

What it is chasing: lemon, kalamansi and tagete up top, cinnamon, sage and cardamom in the middle, patchouli, Tonka Bean and amber underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Black XS.

Top

  • lemon
  • kalamansi
  • tagete

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • sage
  • cardamom

Base

  • patchouli
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Sweet praline and cinnamon over patchouli, dark, sugary and thoroughly nineties-rock.
