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.
Promise is a divisive, beast-mode rose and apple combo with an earthy, animalic kick that splits opinion. You'll either adore its bold, luxurious depth or find it overwhelmingly harsh and challenging.

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
Promise is a powerful scent with immense longevity and sillage, making it far too overwhelming for office environments but perfect for special occasions. Its luxurious, complex profile and beastly performance suit formal events and colder weather dates where it can truly shine.
