Lady White Snake by Stéphane Humbert Lucas draws on the Asian legend of the snake woman, both beautiful and dangerous. A fascinating, almost unreal presence that attracts as much as it unsettles.

The fragrance is built like pale skin, smooth and almost cold, with something moving beneath the surface. A quiet tension, never aggressive, but always there, ready to show itself.

From the opening, a soft, luminous feel sets in. A delicate, almost milky freshness with a very clean, near-flawless texture.

Then the fragrance turns more comforting. The notes take on a warmer, more sensual dimension, as if the skin were gaining life, warmth and presence.

Over time, Lady White Snake settles into a musky, lightly amber base, very much a ‘skin’ scent, with a soft but compelling signature. It all stays elegant, almost minimalist, yet charged with a subtle tension.

Stéphane Humbert Lucas is a Parisian brand founded in 2012 by its eponymous creator, a painter, poet and perfumer. It all began in the south of France, where he studied painting under a Flemish master, specialised in the tempera technique and developed an obsession with pigment combinations. It was while experimenting with painting that he became aware of his synaesthesia: the ability to smell colours, a perceptual phenomenon in which sight simultaneously triggers the sense of smell. He does not seek to invent fragrances; rather, he invites ingredients to blend together, convinced that his role is that of a mediator between the senses. The 777 collection, launched in 2012, draws inspiration from his travels to the Middle East and his fascination with this region, which he considers the cradle of the universe. The East is not treated here as a superficial exoticism, but as a source of beauty, mystery and wisdom. The number 7, which appears three times in the name, symbolises for him protection, perfection and good fortune. In 2022, he launched the Serpent collection, inspired by tales and legends from around the world. Each composition is born from a mental canvas where colours, sounds and poetry accumulate before condensing into a fragrance. Each composition is built around precious, often rare ingredients, chosen for their emotional depth. An artist’s house in the truest sense of the word.
