Venom Incarnat

• Romantic
• Evening
• Night out
• Special occasion

Venom Incarnat plays on this duality: seducing and unsettling at the same time.

From the opening, a gourmand sweetness appears, but it is far from innocent. Something darker soon blends in, like an underlying, almost toxic tension.

Then the fragrance grows denser and warmer. The notes gain depth, with a spicy, resinous warmth that heightens the sense of danger. The whole is rich, almost hypnotic.

Over time, Venom settles into a warm, dark, long-lasting base. The signature is bold, sensual and a little disturbing, leaving the impression of having been drawn in without really being able to resist.

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.
