Stéphane Humbert Lucas Mortal Skin, Sample
Mortal Skin by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is an Amber Woody fragrance that unfolds with a captivating complexity. Launched in 2015 by the visionary perfumer Stéphane Humbert Lucas, this scent is a daring exploration of contrasts designed for both women and men. The opening is a mysterious blend where the inky depth mingles with the juicy sweetness of blackberry, creating an intriguing first impression. The smokiness of incense weaves through, adding a hint of mystique, while labdanum lends a resinous warmth that sets the stage for the heart notes.
As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals a rich tapestry of myrrh and opoponax, offering a balsamic and slightly medicinal depth. The powdery elegance of iris contrasts with the spicy kick of cardamom, while artemisia adds a touch of herbal bitterness. This phase is both seductive and decadent, inviting the wearer into a world of opulence. The scent evolves into its base, where the grounding presence of styrax and ambergris meld with the creamy smoothness of sandalwood and the dry, woody facets of Atlas cedar and birch.
In the dry-down, a sensual musk emerges, rounding off the composition with a soft, animalic embrace. Mortal Skin is a unique creation that embodies danger and allure, making it a perfect choice for the modern niche connoisseur seeking an olfactory adventure that is both captivating and unforgettable.
