ALONE IN BABYLON

Alone in Babylon is the unisex eau de parfum from the 777 Collection by Stéphane Humbert Lucas, launched in 2026. It is a contemporary floral amber, bold and magnetic, that subverts the codes of gourmand perfumery.

The Fragrance

Alone in Babylon is inspired by the myth of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, where unexpected beauty is transcended. The maison describes it as a provocative «anti-gourmand gourmand», one that challenges the traditional codes of gourmand perfumery. Sweet without being cloying and sensual without being predictable, it has a lacquered, cosmetic facet that makes it unique. Stéphane Humbert Lucas sums it up in one sentence: when Dorian Gray meets Scheherazade. It is a free creation that exalts, adorns and embellishes its wearer.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is an electrifying kaleidoscope: tuberose meets plantain banana in a bold contrast, while the nail polish accord and the petrol accord add a lacquered, almost cosmetic sheen that captivates and surprises. The heart gives depth: castoreum brings an animalic, velvety warmth, floralozone an airy breath, Mysore sandalwood a precious creaminess. The base melts into a sensual bath of vanilla and tonka bean, supported by leather and musk: a magnetic, playful trail that does not go unnoticed.

Who We Recommend Alone in Babylon To

We recommend it to those who love artistic perfumes and are looking for something that resembles nothing else: to those who adore white flowers in a bold version and gourmands that break the mould. It is perfect for the evening and for occasions when you want to leave your mark, in every season. Unisex, it is for curious personalities who love to surprise.
