About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Black Lacquer arrived in 2024 as a unisex Oriental Woody built around an unusually dark, tactile opening: ink, vinyl, black pepper and rum. The first spray is glossy and slightly industrial rather than sweet, with the pepper and rum giving a dry, spirituous edge before the composition settles. Collectors who enjoy unconventional openings will find the vinyl accord (listed at 64% of the profile) the defining signature here.

The heart shifts toward ebony wood and elemi, softened by apricot and peony — a strange but deliberate contrast that keeps the fragrance from reading as purely harsh. The published pyramid stops at the heart, so expect the drydown to lean on the woody and amber accords rather than a named base. With woody at 100% and aromatic at 88%, this suits wearers who want a dark, resinous, faintly metallic scent for evening or cold weather. It is best approached by collectors comfortable with ink-and-vinyl textures rather than classic florals or gourmands.

中文簡介

Black Lacquer 於 2024 年推出,屬中性東方木質調。前調以墨水、乙烯基、黑胡椒與蘭姆酒開場,氣息烏黑、帶光澤,略帶工業感而非甜膩;胡椒與酒香帶來乾爽而微烈的邊緣感。中調轉入烏木與欖香脂,並以杏桃與牡丹柔化,形成刻意的反差,令整體不至於過分冷硬。官方香調表止於中調,基調未列明,實際走向應以木質與琥珀為主。木質佔 100%、芳香 88%,氣質深沉、帶金屬與樹脂感,適合夜晚或寒冷天氣使用,亦適合偏好墨水與乙烯基質感、而非傳統花香或美食調的收藏者。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
