Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Mortal Skin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Stéphane Humbert Lucas. Mortal Skin opens with Labdanum, Incense, Blackberry, and Ink, settles into a heart of Iris, Cardamom, Myrrh, and Opoponax, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Birch. Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777's Mortal Skin carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its dark, enigmatic character and the mixed reviews on sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It leans towards evenings and special occasions where its unique scent can be appreciated without being overpowering, ideal for dates or formal events if the projection isn't too strong.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, cold ink note twisted around tart blackberry and smoky incense. The heart unfolds into a powdery iris, warmed by balsamic opoponax and myrrh, with a hint of spicy cardamom. It eventually settles into a complex, woody base of birch, sandalwood, and cedar, underpinned by a subtle, salty ambergris and musky leather vibe from the styrax.
