The verdict: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is the longevity pick — very long (10-12h) against long (8-10h) for Tom Ford Noir Extreme. They live in the same scent territory — tobacco and vanilla against amber and sweet — which is exactly why people cross-shop them. Tom Ford Noir Extreme stretches into spring, which Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille can't cover as well.
