The Dark Poetry: Crying of Evil Stephane Humbert Lucas
The inspiration for this fragrance is deeply rooted in the literary masterpiece Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) by the 19th-century French poet Charles Baudelaire. This fragrance is an olfactory homage to Baudelaire’s exploration of beauty, decadence, and the duality of human nature—where light and shadow, virtue and vice, intertwine in a haunting dance.
Olfactory Notes
The opening is a deceptive lure—juicy pink berries and sharp violet clash with narcotic tuberose, like poisoned candy. This top-note masquerade feels almost playful, but sinister spices writhe beneath. Then, the heart reveals its true nature: smoky leather and rose, drenched in sandalwood’s creaminess—a gothic romance of cruelty and tenderness. The floralcy turns vampiric, pulsing with animalic heat. Finally, the base exhales decay and divinity: sticky amber, medicinal frankincense, and musks that cling like a shadow.
