I’ve never smelled the original, but this is an amazing scent, very unique.
Option Review:15ml Spray Extract
After using the 15ML Spray Extract for half a year, I want to leave a review on this fragrance.
It's important to know that the Extract Sprays need some time (7-14 Days) until they unfold their beast mode Performance. So don't be disappointed if you use it right away and it's not as strong as some people here claim it to be. I know it's hard but just give them some time.
I always use 4 Sprays, 2 behind the ears and 2 on the front of my neck. Every Extract Spray I own lasts at least 8 hours on me (other people around me can even smell it for a longer time and it sticks for days on clothes!)
Guys it's a masterpiece. A secret tip not many people will know about but this Perfume which was discontinued by Tom Ford simply blew my mind. The funny thing is that my first PP order had 8 extract sprays and when I first smelled Japon Noir out of the bottle it was that strong woody note that kicked in my nose and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it as much as the others and it was a mistake ordering it. But spraying this on m skin for the first time completely changed my mind and made me fall in love with it. It's dark, it's heavy, mysterious and unique. Never smelled a perfume like this ever. Some people call it "old manish" and I wouldn't even disagree that much but if it is old manish than in the most noble and luxurious way and so good that even a 28 year old man like me would totally enjoy wearing it. My father smelled this on me and asked me to order a 30ML bottle for him.
Sadly this splendid masterpiece is discontinued.
Quality, projection, blend, longevity is outstanding, equal to the original. Perfume Parlor best ones. Will buy a 2nd purchase for back up.
Fantastic representation of the long forgotten Japon Noir. You get the Leather, the amber, the incense. I ordered a 3ml roll on, and immediately ordered a 30ml spray right after. You will not find this juice anywhere but here. Get it while you can!
I like the leather better in this frag than in Tuscan Leather - this is smoother and nicer
