Smokey & Sweet
Overall, Japon Noir is a wonderfully smokey and sweet fragrance. It opens just a bit spicy & oriental on me, but quickly peels back to reveal it's smokey character which is maintained throughout the wear. As it dries, it becomes a bit sweet. The smokiness tames but still is present. JN has that tell-tale Tom Ford signature accord that's also in his Noir de Noir and Tobacco Vanille.
The fragrance is a bit low on sillage and doesn't have the greatest longevity considering the price point. Many people regard JN as the most masculine of the TF Private Blend line, and I usually don't care for masculines on my skin. However, JN strikes me as solidly unisex.
Japon Noir is quite unique, very wearable, and sadly discontinued. Highly recommend for sampling.
