Oud 777

Oud 777 is hands down the best perfume by the house of Stephane Humbert Lucas. I'm not a fan of the house, but this right here, is something special. More so than O Hira. It does share some similarities with O Hira, but the latter is more Labdanum centered, with very soft woods in the background. Here, the woods take center stage, and the resins, mostly labdanum, support from behind. This perfume showcases one of the best and true-to-life Oud Accords that I have come across in commercial perfumes. I would not be surprised if there's real Oud in this. Not barnyard or fermented, just a beautiful earthy, antique, dusty, leathery oud. Starts off with a blast of earthy, leathery oud, a very dry and antique smell. Beautiful opening and quite strong. Soon after that, the resins start creeping in, mellowing the woody aspects, together with some spices, dried fruits, and smoke. As it develops all the mentioned notes coalesce to become a leathery, smokey, resinous accord that lingers for a long time with a soft and perceptible sillage. What I love most about the Oud Accord in this is that it has a very antique wood, old wood type of aroma to it. Like an old wooden chest. It's dry, dusty, old smelling. This is my favorite type of Oud accord, and very hard to come by. Paired with the ladanum it creates this ancient aroma that is just intoxicating. Aside from the Antique Wood Accord, there is also a leather accord, a boozy/liquor accord, dried fruits, and smoke. Like sitting in an ancient castle library, sipping on fine liquor, eating dried fruits, on leather chairs, and smoking shisha. A very special perfume, and incredibly well put together, truly intoxicating aroma longing to the Orient.

What can I buy with 500 dollars? Floor Seats at a Basketball Game, A Roundtrip Ticket, Furniture from Pier One and apparently Oud 777...Stephane Lucas's Oud offering is a double agent for sure. Part reeky and part savory. The short lived reeky opening of Oud 777 is impossible to ignore and better reserved for a living organism other than a human being. The flagrant stench reminded me of hay mixed with the felt lining used in board games. From the rubble waves a white flag of saccharine labdanum and syrupy oud. The fragrance could easily have been named Labdanum 777. One thing that's inescapable is the wildlife characteristic ever so present throughout the entire duration. Leather fans may be disappointed to learn that the sought after note is unexpressive. You will likely get caught up in your own deception as you convince your mind that something hide-like is present. Does Oud 777 smell like $500? Well..most perfumes with this kind of unconventionality tend to be pricey, so the answer is likely yes. Smell and value are two different things. You can be the judge for the value. Smell-wise, not better than Black Gemstone but I'd give it a B+

My god what a find! this is a majestic creation! The note breakdown here is the official one from SHL, but there is much much more to this perfume than what is mentioned. For starters it has a load of dark notes..smoke (smoky as hell), leather, tobacco, oud and a bit of booze. There is also a deep resiness feel to it. Comes across like a heavy dessert in the opening, cinnamon is noticeable to me, while tonka sweetens thing up a bit and gives a powdery facet. Slightly animalic at the opening but nothing crazy. Overall this perfume is not to be taken lightly or to be dismissed based on the name, this is a work of art in my books ... a big dose of nosegasm heaven. Very close to Tom Ford's Tobacco Oud, but unfortunately it is discontinued like Tobacco Oud! maybe something in the DNA of these perfumes that does not appeal to buyers? Luckily though i managed to scoop a new Oud 777 bottle for a good price,, will be the new star of my upcoming special occasions.

من هردوی اوهیرا و عود استفن هامبرت لوکاس از شقایق یک خریدم و اوهیرا تموم کردم اما عود هنوز ازش دارم. شاهکار واقعی اند هردو و بهترین کارهای این خانه.تقریبا تمام کارهای این خانه را خریده ام و از برند دیگه اش سوعود هم نور دارم و بقیه تست کردم. اما شباهت عود به اوهیرا انصافا سطحی ست اگرچه نمیگم شبیه نیستند و خوب سی درصدی شباهت دارند منتهی اوهیرا رودخانه ای که مثل کارون سطح آرام اما کف بسیار خروشان و سختی داره با کلی جريانات ریز و درشت. عود اما انصافا به بهترین شکل آقای افشار توصیفش کردن و بیشتر چیزی که گفتن نمیشه گفت. فقط من یکی موندم چرا چندبار سلیل د جده را خریدم منتهی از این دو کار بک آپ نگرفتم؟ بعد این دو تاکلامکان عالیه و بدترین هم قطعا قم و خلدبحرین

. ی کم زیادی مهربونه در برابر عودهای افیونی و اسرار امیز. این عود هامبرت لوکاس دقیقا رایحه دود حاصل از سوختن اگار وود پاک شده رو داره اینسنس عود واقعی در کنار رایحه چرم دباغی شده بسیار لوکس و تمیز فاقد حس چرک و انیمالیک. خیلی شاهانه و کلاسیه . ابدا حس حرمی و معنوی نداره. شروعی بسیار فاخر از رایحه عود کمی سبز کمی اسپایسی کمی فروتی . قلب عطر تا انتها در کنار چرم تمیز کمی حس صابونی داره ولی خشک و اسموکی نیست. همین روند تا ساعتها بدون تغییر ادامه داره تا مرگ رایحه پخش بوی ملایم و ماندگاری خیلی عالی روی پوست بدون تخریب رایحه. به جرات اگر از قیمتش چشمپوشی بشه کرد یکی از فاخر ترین عطرهایست که محوریت عودی داره.
