The Scoop
Fragrance World's Kohl captures the spicy-woody profile of Black Lacquer reasonably well, with comparable ginger and cardamom brightness opening into a dark oud-leather heart. However, the clone shows slightly less refinement in the oud implementation and the overall composition feels marginally thinner compared to Tom Ford's richer, more nuanced base structure.
Key Differences
Kohl achieves decent note accuracy but lacks the depth and complexity of the original's oud and amber foundation. Longevity and sillage are moderately reduced, with the scent projecting less forcefully and fading earlier than Black Lacquer.

What wearers say
“I originally bought this for my husband and although this is more a masculine scent, by god I love wearing this as a lady. It reminds me of sitting in an old wooden hot tub as a child but make that hot tub in the back of an old church. It’s warm, resinous and deeply woody, in an homely and welcoming way like an old church on a wet winters night.”
“I smelt Tom Ford Black lacquer one day and on a whim I looked up a dupe and ordered Kohl. It's divine, but I think maybe I'll give it to my husband as it may be a tad too masculine for me. It will be a sexy date night scent for him to wear. I might layer it with something vanillic first and see if that makes it wearable for me. Either way, it's a dead ringer for the TF fragrance in my opinion.Update: It was too masculine for me to wear, so I gave it to my husband and he loves it. I still think it is an amazing dupe for TF Black Laquer and a classy fragrance.”
“Wow crazy, there were like 10-15 reviews for this fragrance on here a few days ago and now they are all gone. They all praised the performance and scent profile, I wonder if they were fake. I almost just bought this too.”
