Isra & Miraj is a fragrance of the recognized Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 perfume house, designed to be appreciated for men and women. This sophisticated creation was launched in 2019, marking a milestone at the collection of Perfumer Stéphane Humbert Lucas, who is also responsible for the conception of fragrance. Isra & Miraj is an olfactory composition that is distinguished by its complexity and depth, fusing spicy, floral and woody notes in a unique aromatic symphony.

The output notes of Isra & Miraj open with a vibrant combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, tangerine and bergamot, which provides a spicy warmth mixed with a fresh and citrus touch. This opening is intense and envelope, inviting whoever perceives it an intriguing olfactory experience. The nutmeg and cinnamon add a warm and spicy dimension, while tangerine and bergamot balance with a freshness that refreshes and awakens the senses.

As the fragrance evolves, it enters a floral heart, where Heliotrope and Osmanto stand out. Heliotrope, with its soft floral nuances and a slightly avant touch, perfectly combined with osmano, a flower that emits a delicate aroma, sometimes described as a sweet nuance of apricot or fragrant olive oil. This combination creates a fascinating contrast, since floral notes provide a feeling of softness and elegance, while the spicy base continues to clicking through the fragrance.

At the bottom of Isra & Miraj are the deeper and seductive notes that complete the fragrance, with a base that merges vanilla, gray amber, white musk, sandalwood, wood, leather and patchouli. Vanilla and gray amber provide an enveloping softness that surrounds the user in a feeling of warmth and comfort. White musk and sandalwood bring a creamy softness, while the OUD and leather add a darker, luxurious and sophisticated dimension.

On the other hand, Soleil de Jeddah - Afterglow is another fascinating creation of Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777, launched in 2022. This fragrance, also unisex, is presented as a new and fresh proposal within the olfactory universe of the brand. Soleil de Jeddah - Afterglow is characterized by its oriental elegance, which mixes fresh and resinous notes with a surround warmth that is extremely attractive and seductive.

The Soleil output notes from Jeddah - Afterglow are refreshing and aromatic, with a mixture of chamomile, incense and bergamot. The chamomile offers a floral and herbal softness that is complemented perfectly with the incense, which gives a smoked and resinous hue. Bergamot, on the other hand, provides a fresh and citrus touch that balances the denser incense notes, creating a fresh but deep opening.

The heart of this fragrance is deployed in a rich and voluptuous combination, with iris butter, myrrh, amber and orchid as protagonists. Iris butter provides a soft and slightly dusty texture, while myrrh and amber give you a balsamic and resinous quality. The orchid, an exotic and seductive flower, adds a sophisticated floral touch that raises composition at a deeper level of elegance.

The Background notes of Soleil de Jeddah - Afterglow are equally captivating and complex, with a mixture of benzoi, vetiver, vanilla and styrax. Benjuí and the Styrax contribute a resinous sweetness that is intertwined with the creaminess of vanilla, creating a warm and enveloping basis. Vetiver, with its earthy and slightly woody character, provides a dimension of depth and sophistication to the fragrance.

Both fragrances, Isra & Miraj and Soleil de Jeddah - Afterglow, are perfect examples of the talent of Stéphane Humbert Lucas to create olfactory compositions that combine tradition with innovation. Each one has its own unique character, but both share a capacity to evoke intense and deep sensations that capture the essence of sophistication and elegance. While Isra & Miraj is distinguished by its spicy and beloved complexity, Soleil de Jeddah - Afterglow offers a more slippery and resinous experience, perfect for those who seek a fragrance that evokes warmth and the Oriental mysticism.
