Maison Noir Alter Ego 786 Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Tom Ford 10ml serum

10ml serum

A BB cream doing two jobs at once: primer base and buildable coverage in one bottle

Praline and vanilla dominate — the kind of sweet-gourmand base that doesn't apologise

150ml EDP spray

Proclere's formula dries to something closer to a texturising cream than a spray

Maison Noir Alter Ego 786 Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Tom Ford 10ml serumLeather and incense are the headline that dusty, almost smoky accord that smells like old books and the back of a church. Maison Noir pitches it all on a bed of musk and vetiver, so it lands closer to contemplative than dramatic. Unisex EDP, 100ml spray. Four to six hours from skin, longer if you layer it on clothes or catch yourself in a doorway breeze. Two sprays is the sensible starting point, not a cautious one.
