What wearers say

“Updating my previous review -Tried this perfume a few times, I really do love it. Last time I smelled it, I knew it reminded me of something, and it is similar DNA to Montblanc Black Meisterstruck. I love Montblanc BM, and for the price that black lacquer is at, I will stick to my Montblanc BM. It's cheaper (65% cheaper than TF BL), longer lasting, and smells amazing, 60-70% similar to TF Black Lacquer.”

“What an opening! The vinyl accord is wonderful. The dark smoky wood that follows is not exactly unique among the Tom Ford oeuvre - Tobacco Oud and Sahara Noir come to mind - but it is very nice.To my nose, this is the best Tom Ford release in a long time - it's still not worth the asking price but is at least worth sampling.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Opens with a bizarre and powerful inky plastic , has a hint of Cypriol similar to many oud accords, a bit tarry/smokey.Dries down more woody smokey and incense forward but the opening accords persist nicely in a balanced wayLongevity is better than most Fords and it manages to project reasonably for the first few hours. This is a surprisingly solid and unexpected entry.”

Sillage

Noir Liquor has noticeably shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 8+ hours) and less refined sillage, with a slightly harsher leather note in the heart. The base lacks the polished musk and vanilla finish that gives Black Lacquer its luxurious feel.

Sillage

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.
