Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lord of Misrule EDP
Lord of Misrule is not for everyone, but for those who get it, it's an absolute obsession. Expect comments - both good and bad - because this bold, witchy patchouli-vanilla bomb is impossible to ignore.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Nouveau Genre EDP
This one's a proper dark horse, giving off niche vibes for a fraction of the price. If you’re into sophisticated, earthy patchouli with a rich, dark chocolate twist, you'll absolutely adore it. But be warned, it's not for everyone - some find it a bit too much.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lord of Misrule

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its powerful projection and long-lasting nature, this scent is far too dominant for an office setting. However, its bold and sensual character makes it a standout choice for intimate date nights or casual outings during colder months.

Nouveau Genre

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and impressive longevity mean it's best reserved for evenings and cooler weather, making it less suitable for high-sillage situations like the office or active wear. The deeply sensual and sophisticated blend of patchouli and warm spices lends itself well to dates and formal events, though its earthiness can also suit a refined casual setting.
