What does Lord of Misrule (Perfume) smell like?

Vanilla absolute, patchouli and black pepper are read together throughout. The vanilla lays down a creamy, sweet base, the patchouli adds an earthy, woody weight, and the black pepper brings a spicy edge. Oriental and resinous undertones and a faint smokiness keep the sweetness from turning sugary.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Votes on character split closely between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on either. Demeter Fragrance Library Patchouli and Der dufte Engel Patchouly have a close profile.
