Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Crying of Evil
Crying of Evil by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is a dark amber leather fragrance for women and men - a 2022 eau de parfum from La Collection Serpent, inspired by Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and its dandy poet caught between ecstasy, pain and melancholy. Spices, pink berries, violet and tuberose flicker on top, leather, sandalwood and rose smoulder in the heart, and amber, olibanum, patchouli and musk leave a long, smoky, animalic trail. "Smoke, leather and a crushed rose - a hymn to dark beauty."

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Khôl de Bahreïn
Khôl de Bahreïn by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is a powdery amber fragrance for women - a 2013 eau de parfum inspired by the ancient art of kohl, the dark eyeliner of the Gulf. Violet and sweet resins open it like a soft nougat, iris powder, ambergris and sandalwood give the heart its cosmetic, make-up-bag glow, and Peru balsam and musk leave a warm, intimate trail. Less smoky than the name suggests, and far more seductive. "Iris powder and violet on warm skin - the smell of a perfect eyeliner line."

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Panthea
Panthea by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is a powdery floral fragrance for women - a 2017 eau de parfum the house compares to Cleopatra's milk bath, written for the goddesses who walk among us. Bergamot, pink berry and white tea open it clean and airy, iris absolute, jasmine and violet bloom in the heart, and white musk, tonka bean and sandalwood finish it soft, creamy and faintly soapy. Refined, quiet and easy to love. "Iris and white musk after a milk bath - clean, creamy and quietly elegant."

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Rose de Petra
Rose de Petra by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is a spicy rose fragrance for women and men - a 2013 eau de parfum named for Petra, the rose-red city carved into the Jordanian desert. Rose, litchi and pomegranate open it bright and almost fizzy, Bulgarian rose takes over the heart, and cardamom, pepper and cumin dry it into a warm, spiced, slightly dusty finish. The house calls it an androgynous rose, and it wears like one. "Bulgarian rose dusted with cardamom and desert spice - a rose that doesn't play sweet."

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Soleil de Jeddah
Soleil de Jeddah by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is a leather fragrance for women and men - the house's 2013 original, now sold as Soleil de Jeddah L'Original, built to radiate like the sun it is named after. Italian lemon, wild chamomile and osmanthus open it bright, tea-like and faintly jammy, iris root, ambergris and earthy notes give the heart its golden weight, and iris butter, Russian leather and Madagascar vanilla let a slow, smoky shadow fall across it. "Lemon and chamomile in full sun, slowly eclipsed by iris and soft Russian leather."

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is the Paris house of perfumer, painter and poet Stéphane Humbert Lucas - the nose behind Nez à Nez and SoOud, who composes the way a painter mixes colour. He perceives colours as scents, and he built the house as a free space for his art, with precious materials and no marketing concessions. The 777 of the name is his number: spirituality, protection and luck.
His compositions grow out of travels through the Middle East and a lifelong love of the Orient, and they are dense, opulent and unmistakably his. Here you will find Soleil de Jeddah, sunlit lemon and iris over Russian leather; Khôl de Bahreïn, a powdery amber of iris and violet; Rose de Petra, a spiced Bulgarian rose; Panthea, a clean iris floral; and Crying of Evil, the smoky leather from La Collection Serpent.
These are perfumes to approach slowly, and a vial is the best way to meet them. Created in Paris, France.
