About Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 God of Fire
Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 God of Fire is one of the more extreme things in a line that specialises in extremes.
It is built around saffron and oud, with a heavy dose of resins, tobacco and something honeyed running underneath. The effect is dense, dark and slightly medicinal at first, before it warms into something sweeter and more comfortable after twenty minutes or so.
The house works almost entirely in high concentrations, and it shows. A single spray is plenty. Longevity runs well past a full day, and it will still be on a scarf a week later.
It is a cold-weather, evening fragrance and does not pretend otherwise. In heat it becomes overwhelming quickly.
The house is small, the distribution is limited and the bottles are expensive, which is the usual combination behind a well-copied fragrance. The saffron-and-oud structure is also something the Middle Eastern houses are unusually good at, so the alternatives here get closer than they do for most niche originals.
