Fleur du Mal, is that the same (concept) as "Wages of Sin"?

In a sense, it's the opposite of "the roots of evil". It's extremely decadent as a title.

That's a nice connection.

Literally, it is "The Flowers of Evil" (and "Les Fleurs du Mal", not [a] "Fleur du Mal").

The fruits of an ill-gotten gain.
