Girls' Night Out
Yesterday big, double excitement in our wartsab group "girls' night". Jackie had, while trying to install the heavy retro-dry hood, dislocated his arm and Melody spoiled his stomach while trying the new quinoa spelt Maultaschen at the weekly market. Jackie, real name Jacques Gelee, is our hairdresser, good friend and fellow member (literally the only one) of the girls' night out group, Melody Vögele-Schmitz is a young-at-heart old 68er and independent artist. Both can probably participate in the meeting despite their misfortune.

Also present pharmacist Dr.Pille, first name Susi, primary school teacher Fräulein Elisabeth, optician Klara Sicht, furthermore the Bärbel, butcher shop saleswoman at Metzger Axthelm and Ilse, manager of the kiosk with attached post office, sewing and ironing service.
Emerged from a Rehaturnen (all the girls have backs), they later met further and got along very well with each other. The current wartsab group "girls' night" always meets on the first Monday of the month to chat, gossip and be funny. There are Schnittchen of Bärbel, Prosecco, egg and cherry liqueur, the topics are varied, mainly it is about men, lingerie, fashion, perfume or Tupperware.

This time Bärbel, butcher shop saleswoman and Gspusi of the divorced butcher Axthelm, had prepared an extra surprise. From plenty of sweetened condensed milk, some tangerine pulp, orange zest, chopped pistachios and a few splashes of rose water, she had made for everyone a small bowl of traditional Indian ice cream, a frozen milk dessert, also called Kulfi. At the same time, she presented a perfume bottle of Noir Extreme by Tom Ford, asking for the girls' advice on whether this fragrance would make a good gift for the butcher?

Bärbel, a robust, mature woman in her late forties was in her younger years a nasty propaganda of her friends at the time. They told her that beauty was not important and that those who spread it were the most blessed. So she paid little attention to herself and the others could bask in their own glory all the more. A frustrating time full of failures that doesn't seem any better by the fact that she is now getting prettier and prettier as a mature woman, while her former friends are visibly yellowing.

At the divorced Master Axthelm she did not want to fail and be more than a Fleischerfachgspusi. She asked in the round whether it was appropriate at least after work once to smell like a milk dessert or like Christmas spiced milk noodles or baklava with a layer of crème brûlée on top, wärend otherwise constantly the smell of sausage and smoked?

The delicious scent of the first spray made it clear that Noir Extreme is strong enough to mask the butcher's odor that constantly clings to the butcher's axe helmet. Primary school teacher Fräulein Elisabeth took the floor. Strong, delicious and good as the tasty Kulfi was the scent. The perfume smelled pleasant, but to wear it herself it was too sweet, a bit turgid and constantly reminded her to count calories. At her age, she was about to retire, she would have to be even more self-conscious, because she wanted to devote herself completely to the successful search for a partner soon. Susi (Mrs. Dr.Pille) threw in with an important look, that already Marco Polo brought the Kulfirezept of the Kublai Khan, whereupon the Italians quickly invented the Gelato.

Jackie was instantly enamored with this delicately spicy, milky dessert note that accompanied the scent for a long stretch. He liked the sweetness just as much as his cat Kitty did while sitting on the sofa with him, especially the short, sweet-fruity beginning as well as the subtle, unobtrusive spice to the honeyed, strong sweetness of the middle and the onset of smoky, dark-vanilla warmth to the all-too-early sensual-sweet ending. This charming fragrance transformation from powdery to fine-creamy laid like a silky-smoky vanilla scarf delicately around the bodies of the girls!

Our young-at-heart old 68erin, Melody Vögele-Schmitz, nowadays with the electric bike on the road, remembered with moist eyes at Noir Extreme still the harmonious, sweet, cuddly scent of the many fetes inside her old VW bus on tour.
Optometrist Klara Sicht probably had the most unclouded view of the perfume by pontificating, full of praise. The deep dark orientalism of typical basar spices and the floral sprinkles of fruit and rose form the noble, seductive frame for the powerful, delicious sweetness with all its facets of dried fruit, candied fruit, morning pastry, milk cream or just Kulfi. Subtle smoke and impressive vanilla make the fragrance elegant and accompany a harmoniously soft and warming finish, which unfortunately loses vitality far too quickly. After 5-7 hours is the end!

The recommendation of the girls round to Bärbel was clear. With Noir Extreme she should permanently move a little closer to the candy-loving butcher. Although "the buck was not yet entgültig erlegt", but all press firmly the fingers.

Tonight's girls evening thanks you for's kiebitzen!

The scent of my heart!
A year ago, I took the scent off for me. I thought it was quite nice, but also kind of one-dimensional and boring. Luckily, I received a sample from dear Lukas here and had to realize that my scent taste has changed within a year. It did not have to be the heavy, complex and sweet gourmands anymore. The longer I am on the road here, the more I appreciate seemingly simpler scents again.

No, the Noir Extreme is by no means a simple or boring fragrance, but even if it is classified as a sweet gourmand, it comes across as fine, without being slain with its sweetness, as gourmands like to do. I think it is the citric notes in the top note that give it a certain lightness. To be honest, I personally cannot perceive these notes explicitly. But this also applies to the rest, i.e. Kufi & Co.

The fragrances are strongly interwoven and thus create an incredibly intense warm and cosy atmosphere. At no moment do I find this fragrance overloaded or intrusive. Exactly for this reason I see the field of application more complex than with many other gourmands and not only limited to the cold season. It also works great on an evening in spring/summer or on a cuddly Sunday on the couch.

The Noir Extreme is not classified as unisex, which I think is correct. In spite of its sweetness and warmth, for me it is a masculine gourmand. Nevertheless, there are certainly some ladies who can wear it well.

It is rare that I write a comment and even rarer that I award a 10 to a fragrance. But I have been wearing the Noir Extreme for a whole week on almost every evening and each time I have found it better. I was even looking forward to spraying it in the evening. From that time on I didn't even want to test other fragrances at the same time. That makes it my heart's scent and my perfect 10!

Fantastic by day and night

I can only agree with my precommentator: This fragrance is warm, it's sensual, it's beautiful, no, it's beautiful, yes, it's dreamy!

It is very difficult - as is always the case with Tom Ford perfumes - to break the fragrance down into its individual components because they are so well-blended, as is the case here.

Even the fruity and spicy opening is hardly to be surpassed in sensuality. A true explosion of impressions and spicy aromas. Here, the sandalwood already comes to the fore, giving the entire fragrance a certain creaminess and stability.

And then this heart!?! I don't know if anyone has ever smelled this Kulfi. For uninitiated people like me, a new fragrance simply emerges here in the heart, an entirely new chord. I could not even say what it reminds me of, because I know nothing like it. It's sweet, but not too sweet, it's fruity but only very light, and together with the floral notes it seems fresh and elegant.

After some time the vanilla becomes more dominant in the base. But even this is not a despicable vanilla, like in the very close drydowns of some other perfumes, but is slightly ambered, wonderfully creamy and still carries all the spice of the previous course well-bedded in itself.

I would characterize the fragrance as spicy-oriental rather than gourmand, but it's up to the individual to decide what to eat... But what sets it apart from many other orientals is that it always retains a certain transparency and never appears sweet, overblown or overcharged. I also think it's a perfume that can be worn all the time: in the morning, at noon, in the evening, at night, in spring, summer, autumn and winter. For this type of perfume, it's quite unusual
The only thing that could be criticized would have been the performance, because it could have been improved. Noir Extreme starts very strong, but at some point it also decreases very much. In my opinion, it's a bit too fast for a perfume of this kind.

And last but not least: I actually caught myself putting on this wonderful fragrance just for sleeping. Decadent, I know... but gorgeous!

Cake for the skin
I wore the fragrance today for the first time during a longer stay outside in a yet quite cold evening. My son's kindergarten had St. Martin there, so all have been with him a round walk.
I do not know if anyone noticed that I was like an obsessive-compulsive constantly spinning around myself to take a strong air cake again and again?
I think with a scent like this, you don't have to go into too much scientific detail about when you smell how much of what ingredients. He just smells delicious. He smells like mom's delicious birthday cake, he smells like the pastry stand at the Christmas market, after a hot cup of cocoa with vanilla caramel syrup, after well-being, after bliss.
And in my humble opinion, absolutely not at all after anything black or mysterious. Sure, you can of course in each fragrance NASA's darkest secrets reininterpret. Or simply say "wow, is the delicious"

Mr. Big
Elegant, unapproachable and unique.

All this I associate with the Sex and the City character Mr. Big and Noir Extreme.

A gourmand of the extra class, noble, perfectly countered sweet and so wonderfully insulating and vintage.

A fragrance that only works for men who are so masculine because of their well-groomed, polite, hard to grasp and inwardly melancholic nature that they don't care to smell like a pancake with honey and pralines for dessert.

It will probably taste more to people who miss the old scent times or like me have a weakness for strong scents, especially gourmands.

His Sillage is strong, but not intrusive, it envelops the wearer and filters out everything negative without anyone as in modern times for many scents left by simply killing effect to jump off.

The durability is great, 6 hours with good Sillage are loosely in it, after that it becomes weaker and after 8 hours it becomes very close.

Unashamedly spicy, nutty, milky, with floral-leathery facets, an overdose of sweet amber, and powdery puffs. Santa Claus is coming to town!
