Fragrance information:

Tom Ford once again proves that luxury can be daring and modern.

In 2024, the iconic Private Blend collection welcomed Black Lacquer Eau de Parfum — a unisex fragrance created by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny.

It is an olfactory hard lacquer, set on a woody base — bold, elegant, and uncompromising.

Positioning and Character

Black Lacquer is an eau de parfum with a noticeable sillage that demands confidence.

It is recommended to apply 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and the same on clothing: the fragrance is intense and self-sufficient.

It belongs to the woody and oriental families, combining balsamic, resinous, floral, and woody note groups.

It is an ideal choice for evening outings and the cool season, when you want to surround yourself with warmth and mystery.

Fragrance Pyramid

The composition is built on contrasts: top notes of peony and vinyl — unexpected and slightly synthetic, like the shine of fresh lacquer. In the heart — ebony wood, noble and resinous.

The base of Atlas cedar and frankincense adds depth and smokiness, turning the fragrance into a true olfactory adornment.

How to Wear and Who It Suits

This fragrance is for those who are not afraid to stand out. It is unisex, but its woody-resinous character is more often chosen by lovers of rich and complex compositions.

If you like Black Lacquer, check out similar fragrances: Amouage Epic Man with its spicy-woody scent, Sarah Jessica Parker Stash SJP — softer and cedar-forward, or Amouroud Oud After Dark with a powerful dose of oud and frankincense.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The top notes — peony and vinyl — create a deceptively soft and simultaneously sharp start, reminiscent of the smell of fresh nail polish or a vinyl record.

In the heart, ebony wood unfolds — dense, slightly sweet, and very noble.

The base of Atlas cedar and frankincense anchors the composition with smoky, resinous, and slightly balsamic accents.

This is a complex, multi-layered pyramid that plays on the contrast of textures and requires time to fully unfold.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
