  It’s one of my favourites. A friend who worked at Lush (creating the products) told me it ‘smells like Lush’ without knowing it was from their house. If you like the Lush shop scent, you’ll love this. I partially agree, because the shops smell like a mix of various scents. What I notice most is the pepper, but it’s not sharp. It’s a rounded, sweet (not gourmand), spicy and warm perfume. ‘Dirty’ vanilla, nothing childish. It can be a bit overwhelming in enclosed spaces because it’s incredibly potent. I see it as very wearable; anyone could like it, but my mother disagrees. It’s true that I love warm, spicy and sweet but complex perfumes, whereas my mother prefers fresh (citrus-fruit) scents.

  Only three declared notes and they manage to create something like this. Lord Of Misrule (LOM) is witchcraft, the perfume of a witch. It has a magical and ancient quality, something dark and hidden. The patchouli, pepper and vanilla are indivisible; they are one thing that encompasses everything. It’s linear, like an oil on the skin, an ancient ointment. It comes in two presentations: solid and liquid. I have both; they smell almost the same, but the performance is different. Let’s not talk about the solid because it has its own story. The liquid, in a spray, lasts about eight hours on the skin and projects well. It has a high concentration of oils, so it tends to turn red over time; mine is already like that. That’s why I don’t recommend putting it on light-coloured clothes. The cap, typical of the brand, comes off very easily. Don’t lose good habits. I used it a lot in October because it reminds me of Halloween and autumn. It also stands out in winter, but using it in spring or summer is a crime.

  It’s super curious because it smells a lot like Coca-Cola (especially when I first apply it) and at the same time it’s deep and sombre. I see it as unisex leaning towards masculine, but on a woman it has to look very sexy. It settles and is an aromatic, charismatic and bewitching perfume that fits autumn very well. I like Lush’s Karma more, but this one is very 🔝🔝🔝. When I’m not using one, I’ll use the other because they seem like complementary patchoulis 😆

  The best thing about this Lord of Misrule is its dry-down; in my case it arrives in less than 10 minutes, quite linear but wonderful. After an initial herbal, half-synthetic and medicinal phase, it develops into a patchouli that becomes sweeter, warmer and earthier. In the first hour I also notice a clear memory of very sweet coffee. It’s potent and very long-lasting. For me, quite addictive. Totally unisex.

  Lord of Misrule: Opening: Very green, dark and potent patchouli, almost medicinal. Heart: Minutes later, the patchouli allies with an aromatic black pepper. Dry-down: Defined by an infusion of patchouli, black pepper and a soft vanilla that softens the whole. Projection and longevity: Projects for about 6 hours and lasts more than 12. Conclusion: An opulent fragrance, simple in notes but outstanding in aroma. If I define it in proportions: 70% patchouli, 20% black pepper and 10% vanilla. As could not be otherwise, the patchouli is master and lord, with very notable projection and longevity (the scent on clothes doesn’t disappear until washed).

  The scent-memory connection is hard to avoid, as when a smell evokes something concrete it’s unstoppable… And in this case, Lord of Misrule, reminds me of an ice cream I ate a million times as a child: Drácula. The opening is a potent patchouli that, when it settles and the vanilla tone emerges, brings me first the Coca-Cola and then the minted ice cream. Later, a dusty-earthly nuance is felt that makes it more bearable and serious. What a tale! I like it. I wouldn’t buy it, but I thought it very interesting to try and it transported me to my childhood. Totally photorealistic. I understand it has its devotees, as it delivers in many aspects: rich aroma, good performance, different and good price. For cold periods and informal occasions, I think it fails there. Very rich Drácula.

  It’s a Rosendo Mateu N°7, simpler, but I love it. In autumn, with a leather jacket, it seems perfect to me. And contrary to most, I think it’s unisex, slightly more masculine, but perhaps it’s my pH.

  I have the cream version, perfume and body mist of this scent. Therefore, yes, yes I like it. It smells like a spicy patchouli hit with a subtle (very subtle) touch of vanilla, nothing gourmand. Like the vanillas of before. All together it smells somewhat esoteric, like when you go to a medieval fair or enter an incense and household goods shop. Gender: unisex. Age: 18+. Longevity: 7/10. Sillage: 6/10. Originality: 9.5/10. Wearable: 6/10. Overall score: 7.5/10.

  I counted that the 100ml fragrance spilled all over the elevator landing; I made a mess, cleaned the floor with the handkerchief I had. 12 months later, the handkerchief still smells. I always think of going back to it, perhaps because I enjoyed it for a week. I remember it smelled like an ointment at first, not the Angel type, but like a healing remedy, and it takes time to dry… In my homeland we use ‘perico’ oil (hypericum), herbs that grow only in our Mariola mountains, collected in the moon and left to rest in oil for at least 21 days. That’s what it reminded me of, but with lots of black pepper. It’s vast, rough, impetuous and doesn’t ask permission. Don’t expect vanilla with patchouli, because it’s patchouli with vanilla, and although I felt it was too much, I liked it. Very late, in its dry-down, the delicious vanilla comes to the fore, which this time did smell like a cake or biscuit, something more bearable, although never losing its untamable character. I ENJOYED IT WHILE IT LASTED, noting that my partner didn’t like it at all. This shouldn’t be a handicap for anyone. I still think about whether to buy it again… but its price, I don’t say it’s not worth it when houses like Chanel or Dior make rubbish, but the performance on me wasn’t so great, about 5-6 hours, with an impetuous opening like many, dropping to skin level. It fell short on projection, although it is truly a unisex scent, with personality, differential and away from today’s fruity patchoulis.

  I liked the definition of Taurien with that reference: ‘something delicious and sweet that, for some reason, was slightly buried under the aromatic leaf litter of a forest’. Yes, visually it approximates that idea a lot, as it launches an earthy aroma, a tiny spicy note that’s not annoying, and all wrapped up like in a sweet vanilla shell that gives it warmth. It’s comforting and pleasant, although perhaps it lacks something to be more ’rounded’. It’s true that it has a hippie point… and somewhat addictive. Anyway, it hasn’t convinced me enough to buy it.

  This perfume leaves me somewhat stunned. The opening is brutally potent, almost overwhelming, with a heavy patchouli note at first, but within minutes it softens into a delicious vanilla. In the shop, the assistant tested it on my skin; after a few minutes, she noticed the change and said, ‘Hey, this suits you perfectly,’ and she was right. Once the intensity drops, it’s a delight. I wore it on the other wrist alongside Coromandel, and they were quite similar. LOM lacks the delicacy and refinement of Chanel, and the opening is very different, yet as they dry down, they share a similar vibe: the Lush version is rougher, feline, and wilder, setting it apart from Chanel but giving it great originality. After that overwhelming opening, by four hours it becomes subtle and discreet. It’s not easy to wear and I don’t recommend buying it blindly; you must test it on your skin to see how it develops. I see it as perfect for cold weather or bonfire nights, though in spring or summer it could be a magnetic, enigmatic option.

  With this fragrance, I experienced something unprecedented: on a fresh, breezy morning, I sprayed it twice while walking my dog. Half an hour later, an acquaintance and then a woman with her poodle approached. As soon as I arrived, I saw her distressed expression and wondered if the ‘lord of chaos’ was at work. Within five seconds, she, clearly agitated, said, ‘Excuse me, is anyone wearing something? Because…’. Sensing her turmoil, I felt sorry and admitted fault; she hurried to say, ‘I’m truly sorry, I can’t handle that scent,’ and walked away. The man beside me looked at me in awe, terrified, and laughing, unable to understand. I knew exactly what she felt because the first time I smelled Lord of Mislure on my skin, I also wanted to run. But no matter how much I fled, the chaos invaded me, absorbing me like a black hole; as it dried down, the scent became more addictive and simple, as if I’d met in the woods with a wolf in the process of returning to its human form: naked and vulnerable from exhaustion. I wanted to run, yet something inside wanted to embrace that. It’s not easy, nor original, nor versatile; it has no special quality and tends to saturate, but it’s very addictive. It doesn’t ask permission to stalk you. Sometimes I remember the poor woman attacked by that scent that morning, and a great smile escapes me. We never spoke of it again in the park, none of the three.

  They say correcting oneself is for the wise, but I believe it’s actually for the just and honourable. It’s time to be fair: I’m referring to my review from last year to add that after this time, LOMR is twice as lovely, projects twice as well and lasts twice as long. It takes a different path from Reminiscence, more modern and attractive (in my opinion), mysterious and addictive. I love the truth. Will I buy it again? Yes! Despite having the worst cap in the history of perfumery…

  Delicious, addictive and very noticeable scent. I’ve just discovered Lush and it has completely won me over. My skin doesn’t hold fragrances well, but the Lush ones I’ve tried are a delight: longevity, projection and naturalness. I have this Lord in body spray and it’s so lovely… I’m not at all a fan of dark, rare or earthy perfumes, but this patchouli in the foreground is, in my view, very wearable. It comes out with pepper, which gives it brightness and joy, then sweetens with vanilla. Highly recommended, although testing before buying would be much better.

  I absolutely love this perfume, it’s addictive and impossible not to smell all day. It has an earthy and spicy opening due to the patchouli and pepper, but what I like most is its dry-down: a sweet and delicious blend with vanilla. On my skin it lasts about four hours, so to extend it I use the whole kit: gel, body mist and solid. It’s an essential in my collection.

  The opening is purely earthy: a dark, peppery patchouli that dominates for the first ten minutes. Then, vanilla takes over around the half-hour mark, but it’s not gourmand; it’s earthy vanilla that reminds me of a dark chocolate madeleine or the clay cakes from my childhood. The potency is brutal—one spray on the neck and it lingers until the next day. It’s unisex, leaning slightly feminine, ideal for cold weather. The earthy touch makes it suitable for evening wear, though it can be used during the day for smart occasions without being overpowering. Definitely not for the office due to that nuclear projection (I love it, but it overwhelms me if worn two days in a row). Excellent value for money, simple yet potent. I recommend it to those seeking unconventional, natural scents. Just a warning: if you have sensitive skin, the sun where the perfume sits can cause dermatitis. Overall, I’m super happy with the purchase.

  I absolutely love it, and the projection and longevity are very decent. If I were to tweak the official notes, I’d add a touch of camphor. But to cut to the chase: this is basically the patchouli from Reminiscence in a bottle without the charm, at double the price. Lust only invented the name and the cost. I like it, but I’d buy Reminiscence again.

  I read reviews and was eager to try it. I visited the store and sampled everything they had. The downside is that I didn’t find the potency or projection I expected; nothing marked the skin like Mancera’s concentrates. The scents are distinct from the usual, but in Lord of Misrule, I noted a resemblance to Mugler’s A*Men, though here it is less sweet, smokier, and of course, weaker and shorter-lived. For the 30ml and what it offers, I don’t see it as cheap or surprising. This is my opinion. Best regards.

  Just three notes, but very well executed. It begins with an earthy, black-pepper-spiced patchouli, and the magic happens when it merges with the vanilla. It’s super addictive, as they say; you can’t stop smelling it. It’s unisex and stands up to many niche perfumes. I have the 30ml version, it’s super concentrated, and it lasts almost all day. Ideal for cold weather and for those who want to smell different.

  It was a blind buy that surprised me. It’s worth it for how different it is. It has a dark, sweet, damp, herbal, and spicy opening, like an old ointment; gradually, woody and vanilla notes blend in, leaving a dry-down of patchouli and vanilla, woody and timbered. The dry-down has air-candy vibes and sometimes madeleine-like qualities. It’s comforting, hippie, robust, and without sharp edges, unisex leaning masculine at first. It’s versatile, suitable for any occasion or season (I’ve read it’s less sweet and stronger in the cold). Given the 5-6 hour performance and moderate projection, I think it serves almost all year round. I’m not a big fan of layering, but here it worked brilliantly with Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb Nectar; the woody notes of LOM paired with the smoky and vanilla notes of FBN was a winner. It’s a good perfume, but for the price, I expected better performance. It smells to me like cabin wood, potion rituals, a boggy forest with wet earth, cold and rainy days with a fireplace. A perfume for enjoyment or with a certain elegance. You’ll be the only one with something so bold. Bottled anarchy.

  This Lush Lord of Misrule perfume is a work of art. It is well-executed, balanced, and has exquisite top, middle, and base notes. It has impressed me immensely. It is sweet, spicy, addictive, and captivating; simply wonderful. It holds its own against niche perfumes. The patchouli with the pepper and the vanilla work magic. I recommend it 100%. I can’t stop sniffing myself; it gives me goosebumps and moves me.

  Buy blind; it caught me by surprise, and it is not favoritism, it is worth it for being so different. It opens dark, sweet, humid, herbal, and spicy, like an ancient ointment; then woods and vanilla combine, drying down into patchouli and woody vanilla, with touches of cotton candy and a scone. It is comforting, hippie, robust, and without edges, unisex but leaning masculine at the start. Very versatile, for any occasion or season (they say it is less sweet and stronger in the cold, ideal then). Performance is 5-6 hours with moderate projection, usable almost all year. I usually do not mix perfumes because I feel it discredits them, but with Flowerbomb Nectar by Viktor & Rolf it has been a winner: the woody and patchouli aspects of LOM with the smoky and vanilla notes of FBN. A good perfume, but for the price I expected more longevity. It smells like cabin wood, potion rituals, a boggy forest with leaves and wet earth, cold, rainy, and humid days with a fireplace. For personal enjoyment or with elegance at formal events. You will be the only one with such a daring and different scent. Bottled anarchy.

  This review is about the solid perfume. Patchouli rules here, and being indifferent to that note, it is incredible here: mysterious and with a spicy pepper touch that later softens with vanilla without feeling sugary, but like a patchouli caramel. Being solid, the projection is low; you smell it close to the skin for about 4-5 hours. I tried it in liquid form before, and there it lasts longer.

  A beautiful fragrance. I first tried it in the Halloween shower cream and loved that sweetness with an earthy note and a spicy touch. The trail is tremendous. I’d been waiting a long time for it to arrive in Chile; the solid version came first, and yesterday I found out the liquid version was available, so I bought it instantly. Totally recommended for winter if you’re looking for that aura of warmth and sweetness.

  This review is for the solid perfume. Patchouli dominates the fragrance; personally, I’m indifferent to it, but here it’s incredible. It’s a mysterious patchouli, darkened by pepper, becoming sweet and creamy thanks to the vanilla, all very balanced. It doesn’t smell like vanilla itself, but rather sweetens the blend, like a patchouli caramel. Regarding performance, as a solid, it has little projection; I can smell it close to the skin for about 4-5 hours. I’ve tried the liquid version before, and its performance is greater.

  I tried it, and what I remember is that it smelled dirty—not sweet or wet dirty, but foul, like a sewer. That gave me a clue: it smelled of pure patchouli. Some skin types just don’t carry this note well, and with this perfume, I understood I’m not the exception. It lasted about 8 hours with good presence on my skin.

  You need a lot of self-confidence to wear something so different, or to create it. We are gregarious, and although we all fantasise about being unique, opportunities to blend in are everywhere. Wear it and tell the herd: ‘accept me, I’m not that different, you can be at ease’. Sometimes that’s exactly the message. You need courage to proclaim that you resemble nothing. This perfume is special because the most minimalist definition of ‘one in a million’ is what we have here. It smells like a vanilla cake half-baked on a patchouli tray, while beings with patchouli skin cook it in a cabin lost in the woods. It has something of the cabin’s wood, distinct from the patchouli, and of the moss between the steps; it smells of wet earth, not asphalt, under the cooks’ feet. And finally, of dark nature deities and their pagan rituals. Lasting power is spectacular. Trail, be careful: if you overapply, you poison the world. In summer, you’re a criminal, straight away. Only on a cool night. But in winter, no one will smell anything like it.

  A fetish I don’t lack while they’re making it. My nose, like Josan’s, only smells patchouli and ‘vanilla’ in quotes because it’s a sweet, balsamic patchouli, amber-type, not gourmand. Perhaps the earthy patchouli mutes the typical creamy vanilla aroma, but it’s there. It contains coumarin, so between that and the synthetic percentage, it creates a sweetness more complex than simple vanilla. For me, it’s patchouli and ‘something sweet’ in equal parts, perfectly balanced. The patchouli, that complicated note, gives herbal, fresh, earthy, smoky character, while the vanilla (or that blend) adds warmth. It sounds like a rainy-day perfume, and I enjoy it immensely at home with a blanket and a movie (I’m one of those who wear perfumes for personal enjoyment, surely no one here will be surprised). The patchouli always reminds me of wet earth and evokes walking through a forest or a natural place after rain, while the vanilla evokes home warmth. It suits both men and women, young and old, I suppose due to that sweet-earthly-fresh facet. It’s very versatile, although personally I wouldn’t wear it for elegant occasions, but rather for something informal, especially evening (though I must admit I like it so much I use it heavily even for going out). My final verdict: Scent 10/10 (subjective), Longevity 9/10, Sillage 9/10, Value for money 8/10, Versatility 9/10, Packaging 10/10. I REPEAT, I REPEAT, AND I REPEAT. Note: If you like it, try Alyssa Ashley’s Essence of Patchouli. It’s patchouli and vanilla-tonka, lighter, less potent. It’s my daily Lord of Misrule when I want something less invasive, for everyday or mornings. It costs seven-something, so at least it’s worth trying.

  I’m also one of those Sirenita86 introduced us to on the forum, and I loved Lord of Misrule. It smells to me of something sweet and rich hidden under the forest leaf litter, very typical of Lush and their patchouli. It’s a special scent, different from the rest of my collection: green patchouli with a dense, delicious vanilla. Sometimes I sense brown sugar, although it’s not listed, and I hardly notice the black pepper, just a slight tickle at first. The scent is linear but sweetens as it settles. Like Lush, it’s very potent and concentrated; four sprays on neck and wrists project a lot and last hours. On my skin, it lasted over 10 hours, and I can’t stop coming close to smell it. Although it suits all year round, being so potent, warm, and creamy, I reserve it for autumn and winter. The bottle is simple and I like it, although the cap sits a bit loose and you have to be careful not to drop it and take us to a pagan forest with vanilla cakes. Scent 8/10, Longevity 9/10, Sillage 9/10, Value for money 9/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy again? Yes.

  I’m taking the plunge to review this absolute masterpiece, which was my love at first sight. My version is the liquid from June 2020. I discovered this scent that made me delirious thanks to the forum, and I cannot thank Sirenita86 enough for sowing the best discord and awakening passion in so many of us. Upon spraying, it is an earthy, green patchouli, with pepper present in a disorienting and woodsy opening. That’s where the magic begins. Vanilla appears, thick, resinous, and wild, something I wasn’t accustomed to as a lover of all vanillas. I always associated patchouli with Lush shops, a personal stamp, and I think they work it brilliantly. It is not a sugary base note like in commercial perfumery. This is monumental, lively, proud of its rawness, and embraces its roots. I allow myself a free translation from Fragrantica because, besides being evocative, it recreates the spirit: A tribute to a mischievous, sweet and spicy winter party rich in pagan nuances. Indulgent vanilla meets burning black pepper to transport you to a party in the woods where madness reigns and polite society is liberated on a dark night. A deep patchouli that evokes the festivities of ancient winters. That is exactly it. An ancestral, wild, unbridled, jovial dance on a night of Samhain, a precious excess of earthiness and sweetness. I see it as a scent I will use as long as I exist. It is special, pure witchcraft, different from anything else used. I see it for any season, perhaps excessive for summer, but not in my case. It is pure life in a little bottle. As Josan says, for any age. Like life. Performance is the weak point: about 4 hours projecting, then close to the skin. Total duration around 8 hours, then almost imperceptible. But it is worth it because it is simply beautiful.

  I’m also part of that group of Fragranticos that Sirenita86 helped discover this interesting fragrance. Lord of Misrule makes me think of something sweet and delicious buried under the leaf litter of a forest. It’s a very particular, special, and different scent from the rest of the collection. It smells of green patchouli surrounded by a dense, delicious vanilla; at times the sweetness reminds me of brown sugar, although it’s not listed. I hardly perceive the pepper, except for a slight tickle at first. Its development is linear, sweetening slightly as it settles. As is usual with Lush, it’s very potent and concentrated; four sprays project moderately to highly for hours and then linger on the skin. It fixes well on me, over 10 hours. Often I can’t stop coming close to smell it. Although it suits any season, being so potent, warm, and creamy, I reserve it for autumn and winter. The bottle is simple but I like it, although the cap sits a bit loose. If you make it, be careful when opening it so as not to fall into a vanilla cake pagan party in the woods. Scent 8/10, Longevity 9/10, Sillage 9/10, Value for money 9/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy again? Yes.

  I feel encouraged to share my experience with this wonder, which was my love at first sight. I have the liquid version from June 2020. I met it thanks to this forum and cannot be more grateful to Sirenita86 for awakening in several of us the passion for this scent. When sprayed, it’s an earthy, green patchouli, with a top note of pepper that is disconcerting and woody. That’s where the magic begins: a thick, resinous, wild vanilla appears, very different from the usual sweet ones. For me, the patchouli here isn’t a boring base, but a personal stamp, very Lush, portentous and proud of its rawness. Translating the spirit of Fragrantica: it’s a tribute to a mischievous winter party, sweet and spicy, where vanilla meets pepper to take you to a pagan madness in the woods. It’s an ancestral, jovial, and unrestrained dance. I see it for all seasons, although others might find it excessive for summer, but for me, it’s pure life. Performance is my weak point: about 4 hours projecting, then close to the skin, lasting about 8 in total. But it’s worth it for how beautiful it is.
