Soleil de Jeddah by Stephane Humbert Lucas

An unusual and unique composition

Few places on the planet have a closer relationship to the sun than the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, the Bride of the Red Sea, gateway to Mecca and Medina. To honor a great city that is both religious epicenter and vacation destination, cultural capital and center of commerce, Stéphane Humbert Lucas chose to focus the one element equally present and central to all endeavors, and contained within the brilliant gold-metallic bottle is a sun-drenched, rapturously bright citrus-floral that gradually evolves to reveal hidden depths of Russian leather, Madagascar vanilla, buttery iris, and earthy amber. Like the multi-faceted city of Jeddah itself, the reasons for going and the reasons for staying may be entirely different.

The initial brightness of Soleil de Jeddah is a thing of unapologetic beauty: tart, juicy lemon, pillow-soft Roman chamomile, and an exquisite osmanthus so mouthwateringly jammy that we've variously detected peach, apricot, lychee, and mango, albeit without any of the cloying sweetness that might accompany any of those notes in a lesser fragrance. In fact, for a fragrance this big and bright, it's a minor miracle that Soleil de Jeddah never deviates into reductive sweetness or overdone sour, which we can only attribute to the exceptional quality of the ingredients, as well as a lightly powdery iris root heart that seamlessly bridges the gap into the earthier, surprisingly sensual base. Once the Russian leather emerges, rich and resinous with a very slight smokiness, what might have seemed like a strange and unfamiliar progression is now natural, intriguing, and deeply satisfying. Like the beautiful, hand-milled golden honeycombed cap, the Jeddah sun shines brightly enough to bring everything together, with undeniably beautiful results.

REVIEW
An unusual and unique composition that opens with an earthy, semi-smokey and almost edible camomile note mixed with lemon and velvety osmanthus. A leathery heart supported by powdery iris and a gentle dose of ambergris rounds up this alluring, sensual and unique fragrance.
It's an opulent and heavy fragrance in the best possible way but delicate and refined at the same time. The richness and the quality of the scent will make you fall in love with SHL once again.

Una composición inusual y única que se abre con una nota de manzanilla terrosa, semi-ahumada y casi comestible mezclada con limón y un aterciopelado osmanto. Un corazón de cuero sostenido por un iris empolvado y una suave dosis de ámbar gris completan esta fragancia seductora, sensual y única.

Es una fragancia opulenta y pesada en la mejor manera posible, pero delicada y refinada al mismo tiempo. La riqueza y la calidad del aroma harán que te enamores de SHL una vez más.

A breathtakingly elegant, addictive, charming and evocative perfume that is truly memorable THE PERFUME "You are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures" BLACK  is an experience in its own, a fragrance that is imposing, but refined and elegant, powerful but delicate, dark but bright, mysterious and sensual, a composition that I can define as a dangerous treat and an olfactory journey through different phases like a book, a movie or a piece of music can do, even a painting where the individual is always subject to its own interpretation and able to feel whatever that paint evokes in its own mind without judging which materials the artist used, which is the formation or references, the inspiration,etc., you are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures. NOTES As a consequence of the concept of BLACK (that treasures the beauty of...

An enchanting fragrance that treasures a tremendous smoothness and a little portion of Australia's soul in it Cape Byron is Australia's most easterly point, 153° 39´ east, located on the north coast of New South Wales (see map of Australia below). With its numerous beaches, unspoilt hinterland, and relaxed lifestyle, Byron Bay is a popular tourist destination. Byron Bay is located just off the Pacific Highway, 800kms north of Sydney, 175kms south of Brisbane.

Built at the turn of the 19th century to protect ships passing along the coast, Cape Byron Lighthouse stands resolute on the most easterly point of the Australian mainland. Operated by resident keepers until 1989, its now automated light is clearly visible from Byron Bay township.
