Stephane Humbert Lucas began his career as a painter in the South of France with a Flemish master. While experimenting with tempera, he realised that he had the gift of synesthesia, the ability to sense the smell of colours: this is why he decided to bottle the fragrances he perceived so that everyone could have the same wonderful experience.
This Maison is an instrument of expression for its namesake creator, a way to unleash his artistic sensitivity and his overflowing creativity. Lucas is an artist in his soul, a painter and poet who realises that not everyone has the gift of being able to see the world as he does, and decides to change this. After studying painting in the south of France with a Flemish master, he specialised in the tempera technique, in particular the study of pigment associations and their consistency. But here Stephane Humbert Lucas's path changes: convinced that colour has a scent, he realises that not everyone perceives it, and decides to change things. Mixing colours in this way becomes a way for him to discover and master fragrances.
Lucas says he doesn't invent perfumes, but invites them to combine, to see and sometimes smell his perfumes. To be able to invent a perfume isn't more likely than to invent a colour, he simply wants to reveal more combinations by bringing the single parts together. Each creation starts with a blank canvas onto which he progressively adds touches of colour, musical notes, poetry and images, in a complex work then synthesised into his wonderful fragrances. Thus are born unique fragrances and enchanting, collected in original collections.
An oriental odyssey was born in 2012 when Stephane Humbert Lucas was inspired by his trips to the Orient to launch his first collection; the Orient as the cradle of civilisation. In the Western imagination, the Orient conjures up visions of luxury and refinement picturesque: the sumptuousness of the dazzling fabrics, the inebriating blends of spices and flowers, the divine aroma, the decorations of the Thousand and One Nights, the atmosphere of mystical seraglios and the fantasies that reside there. A sparkling and sensual world, enveloping us in a glow of wonder. The 777 collection alludes to this imagery and complements it with the author's spiritual and philosophical approach: the symbols, especially oriental ones, and the significance of the number seven in Lucas's life allows us to understand the artist's work and legacy and his quest for spirituality, beauty and personal fulfilment. The number seven is the number of perfection, of happiness and wisdom, a symbol of good fortune, protection and peace.
An introspective journey into the symbolic adventure of the Snake: a totem animal worshipped and revered by various peoples around the world with stories, legends, statues, carvings... a symbol somewhere between the diabolical and the divine, linked both to lust and to knowledge. Understanding its meaning is a journey that seems like painstaking archaeological work, but opens up a fascinating world in its complexity. The Serpent has a strong link with life and knowledge, as he emerges from the depths of mother earth, from darkness into the light. The fact that it changes skin links it to the process of inner transformation and to spiritual awakening, or for some cultures to the life cycle of death and rebirth. In the energy of the Serpent resides the power of healing inner and physical healing: it annihilates all evil of the soul and heals the body of the diseases that afflict it. In fact, snake venom was used and is still used today to make various medicines. The snake collection takes its inspiration from this complex animal, these perfumes are also seductive, mysterious and unique fragrances.
