Tom Ford’s Got Us Covered with Noir Extreme

Choosing a fragrance or cologne can be a very personal and sometimes overwhelming experience, but we can always trust Tom Ford.

Ford is known for his suits, but his signature fragrances have become almost a secret weapon for the modern man.

His cologne collection will make you feel like you’re wearing a tux – even if you’re just rocking a white tee shirt and jeans.

The original Tom Ford for Men fragrance, the dark and mysterious Black Orchid and the fresh (and perfect for spring) Grey Vetiver have been around for years – and now, Tom Ford is set to launch his latest addition to an already perfect line up.

NOIR EXTREME. A new cologne that embodies extreme sophistication while showcasing a mixture of woody, amber drenched elements. The cologne is spicy, but light with a rich blend of heat and citrusy notes. Mandarin oil, Neroli oil, and North African OrPur also help capture that exact moment when a man reaches extreme new heights. His sophistication becomes magnetic, transfixing the world at large.

This fragrance makes an impression – and leaves one as well – with notes like vibrant saffron, cardamom and nutmeg. Everything including the kitchen sink (or cabinet in this case).

NOIR EXTREME has a bottle similar to the original TOM FORD NOIR we discussed a few years back. The fragrance is contained in a rectangular bottle made from smoky black glass, with a bright gold cap.

Colognes have the ability to capture the attention of a room – whether you’re at the office or at a fancy-shmancy event. You should always look your best, but smelling your best – that will leave an impression.

It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?

Packing for a trip means making smart choices — especially when it comes to grooming. If cologne is part of your daily routine, hauling around a full-size bottle just isn’t practical. That’s where travel-size spray colognes come in: same great scent, just in a compact, easy-to-pack version.

And it’s not just about convenience. According to fragrance expert Ben Krigler, sprays with alcohol remain the most stable and long-lasting option, which makes these travel-ready versions even more appealing.
