Patchouli dressed in leather, down for the kill
I'm continuing with my review of the Floral Street discovery set. Seeing this one did make me a little wary as the ratings aren't great (4.9 at the time of this review).
I'll start by saying it: definitely not my kind of fragrance, but I've seen this type of perfume around so I don't get the epic fail of a rating this fragrance has. I do admit it could be better balanced and a little less synthetic, but apart from that, this could be a beloved fragrance for those who love patchouli. The note of patchouli is dialed up to a thousand, but I also smell leather, rose and saffron somewhere in there. Leather is not the sport-car-type of leather, more like an older, vintage kind of leather purse. Rose is thick and carnal, a bit like the one I always find in Kayali's fragrances. Saffron has that pungent spiciness, but it doesn't have that metallic aspect I've come to smell in some.
Overall, Black Lotus is a very dark scent and might not be a good fit for many people. I, for one, am not for this scent. It's bold, overwhelming and without compromises. I do feel like it's a jarring scent among Floral Street's more neon and bright colored fragrances. Might have done better if it hadn't been made for this brand.
