Vilhelm Parfumerie Great Lord is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jérôme Epinette. Great Lord opens with Mandarin, Cardamom, and Plum, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Leather, Oakmoss, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Great Lord carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Great Lord aims for opulent sophistication but lands in divisive territory. Some laud its richness and balance, while others find it too flat, synthetic, or strangely reminiscent of a fast food joint. Not a safe blind buy, this one is an acquired taste.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, warm spicy and leathery accords, Great Lord is best suited for evening wear and special occasions where its rich complexity can shine without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it less ideal for casual daytime or athletic activities, and potentially too much for an office setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a boozy, jammy plum and bright mandarin, spiced up by cardamom. This juicy introduction quickly gives way to a complex heart where leathery facets intertwine with the unique, apricot-like sweetness of osmanthus, herbaceous immortelle, and earthy oakmoss. The dry down is a warm embrace of musky amber, punctuated by a sugary sweetness that lingers, leaving an undeniably rich and somewhat challenging trail.
