Which Should You Buy?
A smoky patchouli-rose shot through with peppered saffron and black cherry, Black Lotus is Floral Street's after-dark provocation. Bold, divisive, unmistakably sensual, built for candlelit rooms and cold-weather evenings, not boardrooms.
A truly gorgeous, plush fruity leather that's all about quiet luxury and understated power. It's universally loved and tragically discontinued, making it a cult favourite for a reason.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Dark patchouli, smoked leather and Damask rose with peppery saffron read as cold-weather depth; reviewers tag it as a nighttime incense-rose with too much heat for warm months.
Occasions
Heavy headache-inducing sillage and a brooding patchouli base read as too much for office wear; medium-to-high projection lands it as a date and formal evening pick.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and sophisticated leather-plum-rose profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, leaving an impression without overwhelming. The lack of fresh notes and its rich, warm character make it entirely unsuitable for sport.
