Tom Ford Black Lacquer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Guillaume Flavigny. Black Lacquer opens with Vinyl, Pepper, Ink, and Rum, settles into a heart of Ebony, Peony, Elemi, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Frankincense. Tom Ford's Black Lacquer carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, dark, and utterly distinctive. Black Lacquer isn't for everyone, but if you're chasing that 'industrial goth meets ancient temple' vibe, you've found your signature. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a masterpiece.

About

Black Lacquer opens with a punch of sharp black pepper and the peculiar, intriguing scent of vinyl and ink, softened by a boozy rum note. This industrial edge quickly mellows into a heart of dark ebony wood, intertwined with a subtle, almost jammy apricot and a whisper of peony. The dry-down is dominated by a deep, resinous frankincense, evoking old churches and mysterious temples, with hints of the inky, woody accords lingering beautifully.
