Tried Dark Lord? Leave your own comments!
Dark Lord opens up with a fairly dense and intense aroma. Bergamot gives it a bit of bright citrus up top, but this is offset by peppery and smoky rum, and a rather dirty-ish leather that permeates through the entire wear.
The booziness of the rum is there, but it isn’t a completely soaked feeling during the wear.
Jasmine, however, may be the strongest player in the opening stage of Dark Lord. It sits right in the middle flanked by the other notes, giving Dark Lord an early floral scent.
For me, the spiciness, is really only in the opening act. From there, it takes on an earthier and woodier quality for the rest of the wear. Kilian says that the pepper is one of the key notes, but on my skin at least, that’s not the case.
In fact, I get a lot more vetiver, cedar, and other general woods than I ever do the pepper.
As we move forward, the jasmine will start to lose its position within the composition. The leather and vetiver become pretty strong here and I’m still getting the smokiness sans the spice.
Dark, earthy, and has an herbal or medicinal sort of finish to it.
The latter stage is leather, cypress, vetiver and the faded remnants of cedar and jasmine. Cypress really climbs the ladder and contributes towards the tail end. It really doesn’t do all that much for me early in the wear, then, it’s basically the same weighting as the leather.

on me, this perfume basically stays the same for most of its duration (and it lasts REALLY long). Dark, twisted leather. it's smoky, boozy, dirty even. Jasmine pops up when you really pay attention, but I get that lovely profile from the opening for hours :) I love it
