Does *not* pull any punches.
I do not think this is a bad fragrance, but my goodness, it does need to be handled like it's a biohazard. What a complete spicebomb. One spray is more than enough. It could go up to 6.5 or 7 if it weren't for the fact I cower in fear of accidentally spraying too much every time I'm holding the sample.

I do lean towards slightly lighter fragrances so I'm sure some would say this is not that bad.

Otherwise, well, it's just a nice, not particularly remarkable spicy fragrance. I find it's completely overshadowed by Chypre Sublime, which I adore.

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.

Very dark musky rose. 1 spray is nuclear on me. Unisex skewing masculine.

Genuinely surprised this doesn't have leather listed, as my overall impression is leathery-green. Another very soft scent.

Overwhelming, strong and pungent patchouli dressed in leather, down for the kill. Spicy, dark and very not my thing.

Strong, dark, leathery-green floral. Patchouli heavy. There's something almost morbid about it. Definitely not for me. Headache inducing.
