Top notesThe first spray

Heart notesOnce it settles

Base notesWhat lingers

Lacquer Noir is Aromara's take on Black Lacquer by Tom Ford, a glossy dark wood. Built at 35% Extrait. £40 instead of £290.

Ink, vinyl and black pepper open it, Makassar wood and a dark peony at the heart, over olibanum and cedar. Tom Ford built it around the smell of polished lacquerwork, and it is exactly that. Petrol-bright at the top, smooth and resinous underneath. Strange, expensive and very wearable.

35% Extrait. 7+ hour wear, guaranteed. 60-day money-back.

The notes
  • Top: Ink, Vinyl, Black Pepper, Rum
  • Heart: Makassar Wood, Elemi, Apricot, Dark Peony
  • Base: Olibanum, Cedarwood

Tom Ford publish key materials rather than a formal pyramid for this one. The breakdown above is the accepted reading of it.

FAQ

Is Lacquer Noir a good dupe of Black Lacquer?

Lacquer Noir matches the ink, dark wood and incense signature of the original, built at 35% Extrait. We make it with oils from some of the world's leading fragrance houses, the kind that also make for designer and niche brands. Tom Ford sell the 50ml at £290.

Does it really smell like ink and vinyl?

Yes, and that is the point. It reads as a sharp, almost petrol-like sheen over polished wood. It settles into something much softer within twenty minutes.

Is it a winter scent?

Mostly. The resin and wood base suits cold weather and evenings. It is heavy for a hot afternoon.

How long does Lacquer Noir last?

7+ hours on skin, guaranteed. If it does not last 7 hours, you get a refund. Lacquer Noir is an Extrait de Parfum, made at 35%. How long any scent stays depends on its notes, your skin and the weather: fresh, citrus and aquatic scents lift off sooner, while woods, amber, musk and vanilla stay with you for longer. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.

What if I do not like it?

You have 60 days from delivery to decide. Email sales@aromara.co.uk, send the bottle back lightly tested with at least 90% left, and we refund the product price. You pay the return postage.
