Black Lacquer by Tom Ford is dark and a little industrial, built on rum and ink rather than the usual warm spices. It opens sharp: black pepper over rum, with a cool, almost synthetic streak of vinyl and ink underneath. Ebony wood and elemi settle the middle, with peony adding a bright, floral lift and apricot keeping it from turning too severe. Olibanum closes it out, amber-warm and balsamic. Launched in 2024, it is built for men and suits anyone drawn to scents that read more modern than classic. Voters keep it for fall and winter, worn mainly in the evening and at night, and count it a fit for work too. The vote favours long-lasting for wear time, with sillage sitting clearly at moderate. A 3ml decant is enough to test it through a run of evenings first.

The house
More from Tom Ford
Tom Ford launched his own fragrance line in 2005, a year before Black Orchid arrived and set the tone: dark, glamorous and a little provocative. The range leans warm and spicy, with amber, vanilla and tonka bean at its core, and cardamom, saffron or leather adding edge. Jasmine and orange blossom bring a sensual floral thread. The Private Blend line, introduced in 2007, is where the house plays most freely. Tobacco Vanille is its cosy classic of pipe tobacco and spice, Oud Wood is smoother and drier than the name suggests, and Lost Cherry is a boozy cherry-almond treat. For daylight, Neroli Portofino brings crisp citrus and white flowers. Black Orchid itself remains the deepest, most velvety way into the house. Try two contrasting ones before you commit.
