Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 2016 EDP
Taklamakan
Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Stéphane Humbert Lucas. Taklamakan opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777's Taklamakan carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.
Taklamakan is an intriguing dry, woody amber that splits opinion. Some find it a masterpiece of warmth and sophistication, while others are underwhelmed by its perceived performance or suggest it leans too close to existing designer scents. A real Marmite fragrance, but certainly worth trying if you're into unique resinous woods.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Given its strong woody and amber accords, Taklamakan is best suited for cooler weather and evenings. It's a bit too heavy for the office but shines on dates and formal occasions, offering an understated luxury. While some find its sillage intimate, its richness makes it less suitable for casual daytime wear or sport.
