I have been thoroughly enjoying Tom Ford Noir Extreme EDP, bought a 10ml sample and have to say it's right up there for me.

Was looking for a deal on a bottle and read that the Parfum is very similar, slightly nicer again and much stronger so have taken the plunge. Looking forward to getting that.

I am selling JPG Elixir to make room for it if anyone is interested.

£70 delivered to a PHer - has about 110ml of 125ml remaining and boxed.

That's a very good deal!

For anyone tempted - go for it. Elixir is a cracking scent, and I can vouch for Joropug, having bought a partial bottle of Bleu de Chanel EDP from him last week smile

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying

Elixir is fantastic, but I have it side by side with the Le Male La Parfum and I lean slightly more towards that day to day.

Wearing MB Legend EDP today - £18 for 50ml some time back on Notino - cracking for the money.

I'm conflicted about Elixir though, in terms of it being a summer scent.

I wore it the other day and it was quite warm here (for Scotland!) and while l really like it, I wasn't sure if it was a hot weather fragrance.

Noir Extreme is nice. Defo an evening scent for me.

I think as a summer evening fragrance it works. Not quite fresh enough for summer day imo. I'd be more inclined to Ultra Male (or the original) in those circumstances.

Has anyone else noticed some fairly string increases in Tom Ford prices recently. Was looking to replace my Tobacco Vanille, but 50ml EDP is now £220!?!

Pretty sure I paid £150 a couple of years ago?

Was in London at the weekend and picked up a load of testers as I just couldn't make a decision at the time. Loads of Acqua Di Parma to try, Colonial Club on today which I like but my wife is not so keen. Floris Jermyn Street is the current winner.

For something similar for summer have a look at lollita lempika green lover.

Ignore the name it's vanilla with mint and lime to freshen it up a bit.

There was some commentary earlier in this thread as to stuff from that shop being dubious.

I've used numerous from them in the past, as well as from Tom's decants and honestly, couldn't tell the difference

I got my missus a Carmina from them in my last bundle and if it isn't legit then the real Carmina would be too strong for anyone that can actually smell lol.

I'd place it firmly in the winter collection. I bought a bottle recently because it was on offer but I won't be opening it until Christmas time.

PdM Herod is a real favourite of mine. Absolutely lovely fragrance.
