Dark Lord Ex Tenebris Lux Kilian 2018

Midnight. The dark lord silently creeps through the corridors. His deadly presence is in the air. He has spent his days in a dusty coffin for over 400 years; only at night is he allowed to leave his castle to quench his thirst. The last sentence sends a cold shiver down your spine? Well it's too late, hiding is pointless. He is already there!

Indian jasmine sambac absolute combined with Haitian vetiver and nagarmotha create the illusion of an animalic leather scent. It is opulent, abstract and yet it feels good, like a second skin. It is masculine and sexy, but definitely not a fragrance for everyday wear. The durability is almost unbeatable in my opinion, with the sillage vemutlich rather average and that's good, because anything else would probably be "too much" for the people around me.

I bought this fragrance, wore it a few times and sold it again, because I unfortunately found little use for it. Nevertheless, I rated him pretty good, because in itself he is also beautifully made. I just miss the wearability scale on Parfumo, because it is also an important factor. A fragrance can smell good and still not be very wearable. In fact, I'd argue that the rather poorer overall rating reflects that very perception. Nevertheless, I definitely appreciate this modern interpretation of a vetiver fragrance.
