Japon Noir, a Warm Leather Spice

Tom Ford Japon Noir is a warm leather spice scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and bitter orange before a leather, jasmine, and clove heart settles over amber, vetiver, and patchouli.

The Story Behind the Scent

Tom Ford built Japon Noir as a refined, mysterious scent, all bright citrus and soft leather over warm spice. The idea was a sophisticated, understated depth.

That warm refinement is its appeal. The bergamot and bitter orange give it a bright lift, the leather and clove add a warm, spicy heart, and the amber and vetiver keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same sophisticated path.
