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.
