What do reviewers say about Black Lotus and Étui Noir?
Some roses blush. This one has backbone. The saffron and pink pepper open like a challenge, then the rose deepens into something that doesn't need permission.Black Lotus
Leather fragrances don't usually play nice. This one does, and that's why people who know this scent keep coming back. The iris powder is what separates it from every other smoky leather on the shelf.Étui Noir
