Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Floral Street, Black Lotus is a fragrance that balances warmth and complexity with the subtle metallic edge of patchouli and leather. Jérôme Epinette's composition opens with warm spicy notes that give way to a heart of rose and soft spices, creating an intriguing tension between floral sweetness and earthy depth. The base of woody and musky accords anchors this scent, making it both intimate and enduring.
Apply this fragrance in moderation; it blooms slowly on the skin over time. One or two sprays are sufficient to let the rich patchouli and musky base notes develop fully without overpowering. It is particularly suited for cooler evenings when its warmth feels most comforting.
