About
Dark Lord by By Kilian is a Leather fragrance for men. Dark Lord was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas. Top notes are Pepper, Bergamot, Sichuan Pepper and Cloves; middle notes are Rum, Davana, Jasmine Sambac and Birch; base notes are Leather, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Vetiver, Cedar, Oakmoss, Patchouli and Amber. By Kilian launches Dark Lord in summer 2018. "Dark Lord "Ex Tenebris Lux' is a gentleman of the night. Meet him in the most surprising of circumstances and his mystery slowly unfolds: A head-twisting mix of shadows and light, it seduces in seconds with its elegant, long-lasting accords of leather and strong vetiver, its jasmine drenched in rum, and a dandyish entrance of bergamot and pepper. Under lock and tasseled key, a 1.7 oz. flacon is carved with the Achilles’ Shield as a symbol of protection and finished with monogram-engraved gunmetal details. A smiling skull rises like a monument atop a black lacquered wooden coffret, illuminating a display of grim magnificence."By Kilian Dark Lord is as a 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
