Several of our Buyers' Club Members have asked for a comparison between the Pink Lotus and White Lotus absolutes. They both arrived a couple of days ago, and I have had the opportunity to enjoy them and develop some thoughts about them.
As I opened the bottle of Pink Lotus absolute, the aroma basically jumped out of the bottle to meet me. It carries a strong floral top note, with a radiance that expands as you inhale. The classic lotus heart note with its sweet/spicy powdery, mildly fruity fragrance carries rides under the top note.
The White Lotus absolute is quieter, more reserved. As I opened the bottle, it waited for me to come to it. When I inhaled, its rich and deep heart note aroma filled me with a happy feeling. Its aroma is a fuller, softly fruity and floral, classic.
Though they blend well together, they are like two sisters from the same family, with different personalities. Together or alone, these two aromatic beauties form the foundation for many possible natural perfumes.
It is interesting to me how similar the comparison is aromatically to comparing them visually. The pink lotus flower is definitely louder, more sensual; while the white lotus flower is softer, more ethereal.
