Stephane Humbert Lucas Lady White Snake EDP

Description

Lady White Snake is a creamy white-flower bouquet of tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine, laid over a soft base of white leather and musk. Stéphane Humbert Lucas composed it for his own house, 777, and released it in 2022. It takes its story from the Chinese legend of the White Snake, a serpent spirit who takes human form in search of love. Mandarin and honeysuckle make the opening bright and a little juicy. The heart is young tuberose, jasmine and magnolia, full but not heavy, and the drydown turns smooth and skin-like, with amber and a pale leather that sits under the flowers rather than over them.

Scent Character

Translation: a white floral first and foremost. The leather share is the soft white leather in the base, and the fresh share is the mandarin and honeysuckle in the opening.

An honest note: published wearer feedback on this one is limited and mixed, so we would not promise more than that. White florals also vary a lot from skin to skin.

Best Occasions & Season

Best in Spring and Fall, for evenings, dates, dinners and relaxed weekends. Unisex, though most wearers will read it as a classic white floral. Skip it if tuberose is not for you.

Try Before You Commit

Tuberose is a note people love or avoid, so try it on skin first. A hand-poured 1mL decant is $9.99, and a 7mL manufacturer sample is $49.99 if you want more time with it. Our 1mL samples come in a 2mL vial filled halfway, so the vial will look half full. That is the correct amount.
