Dark Lord is a spicy, woody fragrance from the French house By Kilian, composed by Alberto Morillas and released in 2018. Spice and wood lead equally, with a strong leather side and green, floral and citrus touches.

Sichuan pepper, pepper and cloves open with a dry, tingling spice, lifted by bergamot. The heart brings rum, which adds a boozy warmth, birch, which gives a smoky, tarry leather, and davana and jasmine sambac, which add a fruity floral softness. In the base, leather, patchouli, nagarmotha and vetiver create a dark, smoky and earthy finish, with oakmoss adding green depth.

About half of wearers find it long lasting, and sillage is strong or moderate. It is voted equally for autumn and winter and mostly for evenings. This masculine scent suits cold nights and evenings out, and someone who likes dark, smoky leather with spice and rum.
