Lacquer Noir is Aromara's take on Black Lacquer by Tom Ford, a glossy dark wood. Built at up to 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.
Up to 35% Extrait. 60-day money-back.
Tom Ford publish key materials rather than a formal pyramid for this one. The breakdown above is the accepted reading of it.
Lacquer Noir matches the ink, dark wood and incense signature of the original, built at up to 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.
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.
Mostly. The resin and wood base suits cold weather and evenings. It is heavy for a hot afternoon.
Lacquer Noir is an Extrait de Parfum, made at up to 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.

“Quick and responsive service. Smells great and sample size easy to carry in bag. Will use again.”

Thank you, Suzanne! Lacquer Noir is a lovely one to have on hand wherever you go. When you're ready for the full size, the 50ml will be waiting for you.
A lovely scent very close to the OG and dry down and projection 6+ hours and leaves a lovely aroma which you can smell. A great blend and certainly one of the stand out scents offered that provides an all round closeness to the MC OG at a realistic price. Just remember, these blends are made individually so there’s always likely variances on longevity and projection as natural oils and various skin tones.

One word... Amazing!
Thank you Aromara!
Andreea S.on Men's Discovery Bundle
As a buyer of premium scents I was drawn to the Extrait strength and WOW. The Saffron Secret is a great dupe and I’d go as far as saying identical to MC and the longevity is 6-8hrs and projection is amazing with great compliments. If you’re after scents they are at a fraction of the cost but made with genuine oils and the Aromara Mixologists have created some of the best dupes on the market

Stunning fragrance & last all day. Will definitely be purchasing more
Sally S.on Tonkara

Gemma C.on Vanilla Dust

Mark W.on L'homme Elixr

Richard M.on Altair
VANILLA DUST... OMG
The smell is amazing you wouldn't know rhe difference between Vanilla dust and Vanilla powder.... you don't need to use much as the fragrance is spot on and lasts all day.... so many people ask what fragrance I am wearing and compliment it ..... I can even smell it in the house when I return from being out for a while ..
Would definitely recommend aromara.
Will be looking to rider other fragrances again soon
Shane G.on Vanilla Dust
Amazing smell 10/10, this perfume got me more interested in buying more perfumes
Ahmad I.on Maracuda
This is a very powerful and definitely winter fragrance, not for the lose who want a subtle scent, this is out and projecting. The tobacco punches you in the face and this version of the award winning scent is amazing, great work guys.
Anthony W.on Royal Leaf
Stunning scent, absolutely love this.
Mark W.on Nomade
I ordered a few tester sizes of different perfumes. This is my favourite and I will be ordering a full size.
Gorgeous, just heavenly.

Every scent wears differently, by design. Fresh, citrus and aquatic scents open bright and lift off sooner. Woods, amber, musk and vanilla stay with you for longer. If every scent lasted the same, they would all smell the same.
Your skin, the weather and how you wear it play a part too. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.
Up to 35%. Our perfumes are Extrait de Parfum, the strongest grade of perfume, made at up to 35% perfume oil. More oil gives a richer scent, but every scent still wears in its own way: fresh scents stay lighter, rich scents linger.
Same notes, same accords, at a fraction of the price. We don't claim it's identical (no dupe ever is), but 9 out of 10 customers say they can't tell the difference. Don't believe us? Try it for 60 days.
Every scent comes in two sizes: a 5ml spray to try it first, and the 50ml spray once you know you love it. Buy any 3 perfumes and the cheapest one is free (sets not included).
