Black Lacquer by Tom Ford is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Black Lacquer was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Guillaume Flavigny. Top notes are Ink, Vinyl, Black Pepper and Rum; middle notes are Ebony Wood, elemi, Apricot and Peony; base note is Olibanum. "The fragrance shines with two exclusive innovations in modern perfumery: an incandescent black lacquer accord that captures a smoky, dimensional opulence, and a Makassar ebony wood note that evokes aspects of leather and birch. Beneath the glossy surface blooms the irrepressible mystery of a dark peony accord."
