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.

How to trim a beard the right way — from stubble to full-on lumberjack
Choose the right beard, get the right tools, and master these techniques for a great look
Beard trimming

At first glance, how to trim a beard seems like an easy problem to solve. I have first-hand experience with this, as my beard grew out evenly when I decided to sprout one. Even better, it came in with a reddish color that complemented my long face and Scotch-Irish ancestry on my father’s side. The basic color and uniformity made it easy to overlook the inevitable mistakes I made, so the toughest task was reminding myself to trim every other day. Otherwise, I would grow a small beard forest that was tough to handle.
For many men, though, it’s not so simple. That’s especially true for beard novices and for those men whose beards serve up some surprises. When that happens, trimming becomes a tougher task, so a brief tactical review is a solid idea.
