Tom Ford, Noir EDP

Peppery, spicy, rich: this is tall, dark and handsome distilled. Blackness yes, but this scent also captures the nuances of the night. Top notes meld crispness (bergamot and verbena) with warm caraway, rose and violet. The heart is vivacious with black pepper, nutmeg, iris resin, geranium, Bulgarian rose and clary sage. A sexy, luxurious base—amber, patchouli, leather, benzoin, civet and vanilla—makes this fitting for black jeans and black tie. www.tomford.com
