Review: Kilian - Dark Lord

 Perfumed by Alberto Morillas, Dark Lord is a rich, woody leathery bomb.  The opening is peppery and leathery, the latter of which becomes more prominent through the lifetime of the scent.  This fragrance is a juxtaposition  between warm spicy pepper, hugged by the intoxicating white floral of jasmine sambac, unpinned with earthy vetiver that gains prominence in the drydown. This is manly as hell and a masterpiece from Kilian. This is not cheap by any means, but worth the price tag.  Wear this in cold weather and dress it up.


RRP - £185.00 for 50ml or £135 refill.

Scent bubble/projection - minimum 6 hours

Skin longevity - 12 hours

Not On Fragrantica EP1: - Walden Natural Perfume

I found this brand through a social media advert and having not heard of them before and checking out the description, I was keen to give them a try. The brand’s modus operandi is a return to natural perfumery, without synthetic ingredients.  This is arguably more impressively as restrictions by perfume regulatory bodies before more restrictive with each periodic assessment. I purchased the sample set of five of their eight perfumes.  With 5mls each totalling £30 you get a good wearing for a relatively low price compared to other artisan brands (I also used their code WALDEN30 for first time customers).  The samples do not have a nozzle, so I recommend atomising these yourself first or otherwise carefully applying manually to your skin.  The brand sell their perfumes in sprays of 15 & 50mls (the most expensive being £70 for 50ml & £24 for 15ml) and for those who prefer a non-alcoholic perfume, they sell coconut oil based rollerball perfumes at 10ml for up to ...

Review: 4160 Tuesdays - Maxed Out

This unique composition by indie London based perfume house 4160 Tuesdays opens powerfully with a powerful and slightly skanky cannabis accord heavily supported by a grassy accord, producing a heavy scent bubble.   This is almost too polarising for the first 15 minutes, after which it settles into a lush but unconventional green accord.   This fragrance is bottom heavy, and the lime and coconut top notes are barely noticeable over the boozy rum which sears through and thickens. An hour and a half into wearing I for me and the tobacco accord smooths out the composition with the words continuing a loud but pleasant bubble, the harshness of the cannabis opening in the background at this point. After four hours wafts of fragrance are more occasional through the air.   I’m getting the coffee with a woody green accord at this point.   This fragrance is powerful, tenacious, changing through its lifetime and a reason indie perfume houses are so important in m...
