Black Lacquer is a resinous, deliberately unusual scent from Tom Ford, released in 2024, composed by Guillaume Flavigny and worn by anyone. Everyone describes it as resinous; about half also find it spicy, gourmand, woody or floral.

The opening is the strange part: vinyl and ink give a cool, synthetic, slightly chemical sharpness, black pepper a dry bite and rum a warm, sugary, boozy counterpoint. The heart softens it, with peony bringing a fresh, rosy floral, apricot a soft, velvety fruit, ebony wood a dark, dense woodiness and elemi a lemony, peppery resin. The base is a single note, frankincense, whose smoky, church-like resin is where the fragrance rests for most of its life.

Most wearers find it long lasting, and the trail is moderate, with a fifth calling it strong. It is voted for winter and autumn, and strongly for night. It suits cold evenings and anyone who enjoys incense and wants a scent that smells like nothing else in the drawer.
