Stéphane Humbert Lucas Black Gemstone, Sample
Black Gemstone by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is an Oriental fragrance for women and men. The scent was launched in 2013 and the perfumer is Stéphane Humbert Lucas. This rich and exotic fragrance intertwines precious woods, resins and tonka to create a mesmerising and charismatic unisex perfume that has helped to forge the Humbert Lucas brand's reputation for artistic and highly unique, yet alluring modern niche fragrances. Luxury fragrance aficionados will surely want to try this outstanding composition!
The initial impression is one of contrast, as the sharp brightness of lemon is elegantly balanced by the dry, woody warmth of cedar. This intriguing introduction is a prelude to a heart where resins and myrrh take centre stage, adding depth and a mysterious, smoky quality. These rich heart notes envelop the senses, evoking an aura of opulence and exotic allure. The myrrh, with its slightly sweet and balsamic character, melds seamlessly with the resins, creating a captivating middle that is both complex and inviting.
As the fragrance settles, the base reveals a foundation of teak wood, olibanum and tonka bean. The teak wood adds a sturdy, earthy undertone that grounds the composition, while olibanum, with its incense-like aroma, enhances the mystical quality. The tonka bean rounds out the fragrance with its creamy, vanilla-like sweetness, providing a comforting and sophisticated finish. Together, these notes create a scent that is as enigmatic as it is enchanting, leaving a lasting impression of luxurious refinement.
