Black Lotus, from Floral Street was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Jérôme Epinette. The notes are Black Cherry, Floral Notes, Jasmine, Musk, Papyrus, Patchouli, Pink Pepper, Rose, Saffron, Violet.
Black Lotus surprised me, for what an enchanting scent resides in this bland and unassuming bottle. To put it simply, this is a profoundly sweet rose-patchouli which is incredibly inviting. The rose is bright and dewy, not at all dense or jammy, its supple beauty is complemented by this overdose of sweet honeyed saffron. This sweet rosiness is furthered by pink pepper and hints of sticky fruits, whilst the patchouli remains rather subdued, simply whispering in the background. The rose shouts the loudest here. I’m enjoying this much more than I anticipated. It’s incredibly sweet and fairly strong too, an effective combination for positive attention. I’m enjoying my sample quite a bit, but I don’t think it qualifies as a love for me, I cannot pinpoint why exactly.
