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 amber-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.

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.

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.
