I went to Sephora and returned with a bunch of higher end designer samples (Hermes Mandarine Ambre, Dior Eau Sauvage, and Tom Ford Noir in Edp and Edt)
I tried the Tom Ford Noir, and I've got to say, it wasn't for me. The initial blast of geranium, powdery iris, pepper, violet, rose - man, this stuff is for old ladies! Help! This isn't Noir, this is Blanche!
The drydown is much better, a stately vanillic amber blended with benzoin, leather, heady patchouli, and civet, but it's a little too stiff, too....mature for a man of my age (23). And with top notes like these, Noir has no place on my shelf.
(Note, I'm no stranger to powdery unisex. I own DHI, MiP, Infusion d'Homme and Pi, and I love all of them.)
Where should I go with this house? Does TF have anything more friendly to men under 25?
