The review
Noir scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Noir.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Noir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Noir — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
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 The Essence Vault 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
Tom Ford Noir is violet, bergamot and pink pepper at first, iris, clary sage and geranium at its heart and amber, vanilla and patchouli at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- violet
- bergamot
- pink pepper
Heart
- iris
- clary sage
- geranium
Base
- amber
- vanilla
- patchouli
A warm, spicy amber with powdery iris and leather; refined, sensual and cold-weather ready.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
