Tom Ford Black Lacquer

Tom Ford Black Lacquer is a unisex Eau de Parfum that creates something truly avant-garde by combining ink and vinyl notes with traditional spices, florals, and precious woods. This is Tom Ford at his most daring and artistic, crafting a fragrance that smells like stepping into a high-end art gallery where the paint is still wet and incense is burning in the corner.

The opening is provocative with ink, vinyl, black pepper, and rum. Ink brings a dark, slightly metallic, industrial quality.

Vinyl adds a synthetic, slightly sweet, plasticky edge. Black pepper provides sharp spiciness.

Rum contributes a sweet, boozy warmth. Together they create one of the most unconventional openings in perfumery.

The heart features ebony wood, elemi, apricot, and peony alongside a wealth of spice and floral notes. Ebony wood brings a dark, dense woodiness.

Elemi adds fresh, resinous brightness. Apricot softens things with fruity warmth.

Peony provides airy floral lightness. Bay leaf, cardamom, ginger, and clove weave spicy complexity throughout.

The base of olibanum anchors everything with sacred, resinous smoke. Frankincense brings its clean, lemony, balsamic quality that has been used in religious ceremonies for millennia.

Combined with sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and musk from the supporting notes, it creates a deep, lasting finish. Black Lacquer is best suited for fall and winter evenings, perfect for artistic events, fashion-forward occasions, and moments when you want to be completely unforgettable.
