One challenge could be pleasing the tyrant's picky and unpredictable taste. The tyrant might have very specific demands for scents that are hard to meet. For example, he could demand a scent that is both calming like a forest after rain but also has an undertone of power and dominance.
The perfumer may also act as a confidant or observer. Since they are in close proximity to the tyrant, they might witness important events or conversations while creating the perfumes. This could lead to them having crucial information that could either save or endanger them, depending on how they use it. For instance, they could overhear plans of the tyrant's enemies and be forced to choose a side.
