Dark Lord comes from By Kilian, built around pepper, smoke and dark spice. Sichuan pepper, bergamot and cloves open it with a sharp, smoky snap. Jasmine sambac and rum warm the heart, with davana and birch keeping it from turning too sweet. The base runs deep: oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, cedar and patchouli, dry and a little animalic under the smoke. Released in 2018, it tends to be chosen by men who want something dark rather than clean. Voters wear it in winter and fall, almost always at night or in the evening, and it is a natural pick for going out. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, and the sillage vote leans strong, so a light hand goes a long way. A 3ml decant is enough to see if its shadowy mood suits you.
