Stéphane Humbert Lucas Crying of Evil

Stéphane Humbert Lucas – Crying of Evil is a deep, layered, and poetic fragrance inspired by Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal – a collection of evil flowers where beauty and sin, holiness and vice, intertwine in a captivating way. This fragrance is like a literary masterpiece for the sense of smell: dark, sensual, and timeless.

The opening – named Fulgurance – bursts to life with the tangy glow of pink berries, followed by the full white richness of tuberose and the subtle powderiness of violet. Spices tickle in the background, like a hint of dangerous passion smoldering beneath the surface.

In the heart note, Métamorphose, the atmosphere becomes deeper and more seductive. Sandalwood brings warmth and softness, leather gives the scent a subtle dark edge, and rose – both romantic and dramatic – hovers over everything like a reminder of the beauty born from contradictions.

Quintessence, the base note, leaves an unforgettable trail on the skin: patchouli brings earthy depth, amber and olibanum resin bring sacred smokiness, and musks complete the ensemble with a soft, sensual embrace. It is a fragrance that doesn't just tell a story – it is a story.
