Tom Ford’s Black Lacquer is a bold and avant-garde addition to the Private Blend collection, offering a complex olfactory journey that begins with spicy black pepper and boozy rum, intertwined with synthetic nuances of vinyl and Indian ink, evoking the glossy texture of lacquer. As the fragrance evolves, it reveals a heart of smoky Makassar ebony wood and subtle leather, softened by hints of apricot and peony, adding a delicate sweetness to the composition. The base is characterised by resinous olibanum and elemi, leaving a lingering smoky and slightly spicy finish. While Black Lacquer boasts commendable longevity, its moderate sillage makes it an intimate scent, best suited for evening wear during cooler seasons. Presented in a sleek, glossy black bottle that mirrors its name, this fragrance stands as a testament to Tom Ford’s ability to craft scents that are both provocative and refined, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking depth and sophistication in their fragrance collection.
