The Scent

Tom Ford Black Lacquer opens crisp and aromatic, leading with Ink, Vinyl and Black Pepper for its first impression on the skin. It settles into a heart of Ebony Wood, elemi and Apricot, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It dries down to a base of Olibanum, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
