  It’s one of my favorites. A friend who worked at Lush (creating the products) told me it ‘smells like Lush’ without even knowing it was from their house. If you like the Lush store scent, you’ll love this. I partially agree, because the stores smell like a mix of various scents. What I notice most is the pepper, but it’s not sharp. It’s a well-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 think it’s very wearable; anyone could like it, but my mother disagrees. It’s true that I love warm, spicy, and sweet but complex perfumes, while my mother prefers fresh (citrus-fruity) scents.

  Only three declared notes, yet they manage to create something like this. Lord Of Misrule (LOM) is a 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 one because it has its own story. The liquid, in a spray, lasts about eight hours on the skin and projects well. It has a heavy load 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-colored 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 to me (especially right after spraying) and at the same time it’s deep and somber. I see it as unisex leaning 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 dries in less than 10 minutes, quite linear but wonderful. After an initial herbal, semi-synthetic, and medicinal phase, it develops into a patchouli that becomes sweeter, warmer, and earthier. I also notice a clear memory of very sweet coffee during the first hour. It’s potent and very long-lasting. For me, it’s quite addictive. Totally unisex.

  The scent-memory connection is hard to avoid, since 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 when I was little: Dracula. The opening is a potent patchouli that, as it settles and the vanilla tone emerges, brings me first the Coca-Cola and then the minted ice cream. Later, a dusty-earthly nuance makes it more bearable and serious. Wow! I like it. I wouldn’t buy it, but I thought it was very interesting to try and it transported me back to my childhood. Totally photorealistic. I understand it has its fans, as it delivers in many aspects: rich aroma, good performance, unique, and good price. For cold weather and informal occasions, I think it fails. Very rich Dracula.

  Lord of Misrule: Sillage: 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 you might expect, the patchouli is the master and lord, with very notable projection and longevity (the scent on clothes doesn’t disappear until washed).

  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 maybe it’s just my pH.

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

  I counted that I spilled the fragrance from my 100ml bottle in the elevator hallway; I made a mess, cleaned the floor with the handkerchief I had. 12 months later, the handkerchief still smells. I always think about getting it back, maybe because I enjoyed it for a week. I remember it smelled like an ointment to me at first, not the Angel type, but like a healing remedy, and it takes time to dry… In my region, we use ‘perico’ oil (hypericum), herbs that grow only in our Mariola mountains, collected on the new 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 for 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 surface, which this time did smell like a cake or cookie to me, something more bearable, though never losing its untamed 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 wonder if I’ll buy it again… but its price, I don’t say it’s not worth it when there are houses like Chanel or Dior making nonsense, but the performance on me wasn’t that 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, unique, and far from today’s fruity patchoulis.

  I really liked Taurien’s definition with that reference: ‘something delicious and sweet that, for some reason, is 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 bit of spice that’s not annoying, and all wrapped up like in a sweet vanilla shell that gives it warmth. It’s comforting and pleasant, although maybe it lacks something to be more ’rounded’. It’s true that it has a hippie point… and it’s somewhat addictive. Anyway, it hasn’t convinced me enough to buy it.

  This perfume left me completely stunned. The opening is brutally potent, almost overwhelming, with a lot of patchouli at first, but within minutes it softens into a delicious vanilla. At the store, the salesperson sprayed it on my skin, noticed the change after a few minutes, and said, ‘Hey, this one suits you perfectly,’ and she was right. Once the intensity drops, it’s pure bliss. I wore it on my other wrist alongside Coromandel, and they smelled quite similar. LOM lacks the delicacy and refinement of Chanel, and the opening is very different, but as they dry down, they share a similar vibe: the Lush version is rougher, feline, and wilder, which sets it apart from Chanel but gives it a lot of originality. After that crushing opening, by the four-hour mark it becomes subtle and discreet. It’s not easy to wear, and I don’t recommend buying it blindly; you have to test it on your skin to see how it settles. I see it as perfect for cold weather or bonfire nights, but in spring or summer, it could be a magnetic, enigmatic option.

  With this fragrance, I experienced something unprecedented: one breezy morning, I sprayed it twice while walking my dog. Half an hour later, an acquaintance and then a woman with her dog approached. As soon as I arrived, I saw her pained expression and thought, ‘Could it be the chaos guy acting up?’ Within five seconds, she, clearly agitated, said, ‘Sorry, does anyone smell something? It’s just…’. Feeling her distress, I felt sorry and admitted fault; she hurried to say, ‘I’m truly sorry, I can’t handle that scent,’ and walked away. The guy next to me looked at me in awe, terrified, and laughing, not understanding a thing. I knew 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 ran, 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, but something inside wanted to embrace that. It’s not easy, nor original, nor versatile, it has no special quality, and it tends to overwhelm, but it’s incredibly addictive. It doesn’t ask permission to stalk you. Sometimes I remember the poor woman attacked by that scent that morning, and a big smile escapes me. We never spoke about that again in the park, none of the three.

  They say correcting oneself is for the wise, but I’d argue it’s for fair and honest people. It’s time to be fair: I’m referring to my review from a year ago to add that after this time, LOMR I like twice as much. It projects and lasts twice as long and takes a different path than Reminiscence—more modern and attractive (in my opinion), mysterious and addictive. I really like 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 just discovered Lush and I’m already head over heels. My skin doesn’t usually hold fragrances well, but the Lush ones I’ve tried are a delight: great longevity, potency, and naturalness. I own this Lord in body spray form and it’s so lovely… I’m not a fan of dark, weird, or earthy perfumes at all, but this patchouli that’s upfront is definitely wearable, in my opinion. It kicks off with pepper, which gives it brightness and cheer, then sweetens with vanilla. Highly recommended, though I’d suggest testing it before buying to be safe.

  I absolutely love this perfume; it’s addictive, impossible not to smell all day. It starts with an earthy, spicy note from the patchouli and pepper, but what I adore most is its dry-down: a sweet, delicious blend with vanilla. On my skin, it lasts about 4 hours, so to make it last longer, I use the full kit: gel, body mist, and solid. It’s a must-have in my collection.

  The opening is purely earthy: a dark, spicy patchouli kicked up by pepper that dominates for the first ten minutes. Then, vanilla takes over at the half-hour mark, but it’s not gourmand; it’s earthy vanilla that reminds me of a black chocolate madeleine or the clay cakes from my childhood. The projection is brutal—one spray on the neck and it lasts until the next day. It’s unisex, leaning slightly feminine, and perfect for cold weather. The earthy touch makes it a night scent, though it can be worn during the day in dressy occasions without being overpowering. Definitely not for the office due to that nuclear projection (I love it, but it overwhelms me if I wear it two days in a row). Excellent quality for the price, simple yet potent. I recommend it to those seeking unconventional, natural scents. Just a heads-up: if you have sensitive skin, the sun where the perfume settles can cause dermatitis. Overall, super happy with the purchase.

  I absolutely love it, and the projection and longevity are very decent. If I were to critique the official notes, I’d add a touch of camphor. But let’s get to the point: this is basically the patchouli from Reminiscence in a bottle without the charm, at double the price. Lust just invented the name and the markup. I like it, but I’d buy Reminiscence again.

  I read reviews and was eager to try it. I went to the store and tested everything they had. The downside is that I didn’t find the potency or projection I expected; nothing lingered on the skin like Mancera’s concentrates. The scents are different from what I’m used to, but in Lord of Misrule, I noticed a resemblance to Mugler’s A*Men, though here it’s 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. That’s my take. Cheers.

  Just three notes, but executed brilliantly. It starts with an earthy, spicy patchouli from the black pepper, and the magic happens when it blends with the vanilla. It’s super addictive; as they say, you can’t stop smelling it. It’s unisex and holds its own against many niche perfumes. I have the 30ml version, it’s super concentrated, and lasts almost all day. Perfect for cold weather and for anyone who wants to smell different.

  It was a blind buy that surprised me. Worth it for how unique 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 that’s woody and resinous. The dry down has hints of cotton candy and sometimes a scone. 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). With 5-6 hours of performance and moderate projection, I think it works almost year-round. I’m not a huge fan of layering, but here it worked great with Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb Nectar; the woodiness 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 longevity. It smells like cabin wood, potion rituals, a muddy forest with wet earth, cold rainy days, and a fireplace. A perfume for enjoyment or with a touch of elegance. You’ll be the only one with something so bold. Bottled anarchy.

  Buy blind; it caught me off guard, and it’s not favoritism—it’s worth it for how different it is. It opens dark, sweet, humid, herbal, and spicy, like an ancient ointment; then woods and vanilla emerge, drying down to patchouli and woody vanilla with touches of cotton candy and a scone. It’s comforting, hippie, robust, and smooth, unisex but leaning masculine at first. Very versatile for any occasion or season (they say it’s less sweet and stronger in the cold, making it ideal then). Performance is 5-6 hours with moderate projection, usable almost year-round. I usually don’t mix perfumes because I feel it cheapens them, but with Flowerbomb Nectar by Viktor & Rolf, it’s a winner: the woody, patchouli notes of LOM paired with the smoky vanilla of FBN. Good perfume, but for the price, I expected better longevity. It smells like cabin wood, potion rituals, a boggy forest with leaves and wet earth, cold rainy days with a fireplace. Perfect for personal enjoyment or elegant formal events. You’ll be the only one with such a bold, different scent. Bottled anarchy.

  The Lord of Misrule by Lush is a work of art: well-executed, balanced, with exquisite top, middle, and base notes. I was deeply impressed. It’s sweet, spicy, addictive, and captivating—simply wonderful. It stands up to niche perfumes. That patchouli, pepper, and vanilla combination is magic. Highly recommended at 100%. I can’t stop sniffing myself; it gives me goosebumps and truly moves me.

  This review is for the solid perfume. Patchouli dominates the scent; 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 well balanced. It doesn’t smell like vanilla itself, but rather sweetens the blend, like a patchouli caramel. As for performance, being solid means it has little projection; I can smell it close to my skin for about 4-5 hours. I’ve tried the liquid version before, and its performance is much better.

  This review is for the solid perfume. Patchouli takes charge here, and since I’m usually indifferent to that note, it’s incredible here: mysterious with a spicy pepper touch that later softens into vanilla without any sugary vibe, more like a patchouli caramel. Being solid, projection is low; you’ll smell it close to the skin for about 4-5 hours. I tried the liquid version before, and it lasts longer.

  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 come to Chile; the solid version arrived first, and yesterday I found out the liquid version was available, so I bought it immediately. Totally recommended for winter if you’re looking for that aura of warmth and sweetness.

  I tried it, and what I remember is that it smelled dirty—not a 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 realized 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 this different, or to create it. We’re gregarious creatures, and even though we all fantasize about being unique, opportunities to blend in are everywhere. Wear it and tell the herd: ‘accept me, I’m not that different, you can rest easy.’ Sometimes that’s exactly the message. You need courage to proclaim that you don’t resemble anything else. 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 in 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. Be very careful with the trail: if you overapply, you’ll poison the world. In summer, you’re a criminal, straight up. Only on a cool night. But in winter, no one will smell anything like it.

  A fetish scent that I can’t get enough of while they’re still making it. My nose, just like Josan’s, only smells patchouli and ‘vanilla’ in quotes because it’s a sweet, balsamic patchouli, more amber than gourmand. Maybe the earthy patchouli mutes the typical creamy, vanilla-sweet aroma, but it’s there. Since it contains coumarin, combined with 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 tricky note, gives it herbal, fresh, earthy, smoky character, while the vanilla (or that blend) adds warmth. It sounds like a rainy day perfume, and I enjoy it so much at home with a blanket and a movie (I’m one of those people who wear perfumes for personal enjoyment; I’m sure no one here is surprised). The patchouli always reminds me of wet earth and evokes walking through a forest or a natural place after the rain, while the vanilla evokes homey warmth. It suits both men and women, young and old, I suppose due to that sweet-earthly-fresh facet. It’s very versatile, though personally I wouldn’t wear it for elegant occasions, but rather for something informal, especially late afternoon to evening (though I must admit I like it so much that I wear it out quite a bit). 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, something lighter and less potent. It’s my daily Lord of Misrule when I want something less invasive, for everyday wear or mornings. It costs seven-something, so at least it’s worth trying.

  I’m also part of that group of Fragrantica users that Sirenita86 helped discover this fascinating fragrance. Lord of Misrule makes me think of something sweet and delicious buried under the forest leaf litter. It’s a very particular, special, and unique scent compared to the rest of my collection. It smells of green patchouli surrounded by a dense, delicious vanilla; at times the sweetness reminds me of brown sugar, even though it’s not listed. I barely perceive the pepper, except for a slight tickle at the start. Its development is linear, sweetening slightly as it settles. As is typical with Lush, it’s very potent and concentrated; four sprays project moderately to highly for hours and then linger on the skin. It fixes amazingly on me, lasting over 10 hours. Often I can’t stop coming close to smell it. Although it works for any season, because it’s so potent, warm, and creamy, I save it for autumn and winter. The bottle is simple but I like it, though the cap feels a bit loose. If you get it, be careful when opening it so you don’t accidentally throw a vanilla cake party in the forest. Scent 8/10, Longevity 9/10, Sillage 9/10, Value for money 9/10, Versatility 7/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy it again? Yes.

  I’m finally leaving my review for this absolute masterpiece, which was my love at first sight. My version is the June 2020 liquid. I discovered this scent that made me lose my mind thanks to a forum post, and I can’t thank Sirenita86 enough for stirring up the best kind of chaos and awakening passion in so many of us. Upon spraying, it’s an earthy, green patchouli with a hint of pepper in a disorienting, woody opening. That’s where the magic begins. Vanilla appears—thick, resinous, and wild, which I wasn’t used to as a vanilla lover. I always associated patchouli with Lush stores, a personal stamp, and I think they handle it brilliantly. It’s not a cloying base note like in commercial perfumes. This one is monumental, lively, proud of its rawness, and embraces its roots. I’ll freely translate from Fragrantica because besides being evocative, it captures the spirit: A tribute to a mischievous, rich, spicy winter party full of pagan nuances. Indulgent vanilla meets fiery black pepper to transport you to a forest party where madness reigns and polite society lets loose on a dark night. A deep patchouli that evokes ancient winter festivities. That’s exactly it. An ancestral, unhinged, joyful dance on a Samhain night—a precious excess of earthiness and sweetness. I see it as a scent I’ll use as long as I exist. It’s special, pure witchcraft unlike anything else used. I see it as all-seasons wear, maybe excessive for summer, but not for me. It’s pure life in a bottle. As Josan says, for any age. Like life itself. Performance is the weak point: about 4 hours of projection, then skin scent. Total duration around 8 hours, then almost imperceptible. But it’s worth it because it’s breathtaking.

  I’m also one of those people Sirenita86 introduced us to on the forum, and I absolutely loved Lord of Misrule. It smells like 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 get brown sugar, even though it’s not listed, and I barely 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 the neck and wrists project a lot and last for hours. On my skin, it lasted over 10 hours, and I can’t stop sniffing it. Although it works all year round, because it’s so potent, warm, and creamy, I save it for autumn and winter. The bottle is simple and I like it, though the cap feels 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 it again? Yes.

  I’m brave enough to share my experience with this masterpiece, which was my love at first sight. I have the liquid version from June 2020. I met it thanks to this forum and I can’t be more grateful to Sirenita86 for awakening the passion for this scent in several of us. When sprayed, it’s an earthy, green patchouli, with a peppery opening that is disorienting and woody. That’s where the magic begins: a thick, resinous, and wild vanilla appears, very different from the usual sweet ones. For me, the patchouli here isn’t a boring base, but a personal stamp like Lush, monumental and proud of its rawness. Translating the Fragrantica spirit: 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 forest. It’s an ancestral, jovial, and unrestrained dance. I see it as suitable for any season, though it might seem excessive for summer to others, but for me, it’s pure life. Performance is my weak point: about 4 hours of projection and then skin scent, lasting about 8 hours in total. But it’s worth it for how beautiful it is.
