SOLEIL DE JEDDAH L'ORIGINAL

Soleil de Jeddah L'Original is the unisex eau de parfum that has been the symbol of the 777 Collection by Stéphane Humbert Lucas since 2013. It is a leather floral fragrance, rich in iris, luminous and powerful, that celebrates the sun at the height of the day.

The Fragrance

Soleil de Jeddah is born from a tribute: to the city of Jeddah, overlooking the Red Sea, and to its sun. The maison speaks of an intense, vertical opening and of a fragrance as luminous as the sun it was named after. It is the perfume that gave its name to an entire line, which today also includes Mango Kiss and Afterglow, and it remains the reference for anyone who wants to get to know the soul of the maison.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is intense and luminous: lemon brings an almost dazzling light, wild chamomile oil a golden, herbal nuance, osmanthus a fruity, velvety touch. The heart brings iris roots to the fore, supported by a warm amber and by earthy notes that add depth. The base closes on iris butter, Russian leather and Madagascar vanilla: an elegant, almost powdery leather that stays on the skin all day long.

Who We Recommend Soleil de Jeddah L'Original To

We recommend it to those who love leather fragrances with character and are looking for a rich, layered, long-lasting olfactory signature. Its sunny nature makes it suitable all year round, by day and by night, and on occasions when you want to be remembered. Unisex, it is for those who love the perfumes that have made niche perfumery history.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

It is the perfume we have people try when they want to understand who Stéphane Humbert Lucas is: more than ten years after its launch it remains unmistakable, and one breath is enough to recognise it. It has a very strong personality, the kind that either captures you at once or stays in your head until you come back to smell it again.

FAQ

Why is it called Soleil de Jeddah?
Jeddah is the Saudi Arabian port city on the Red Sea. For the house it is a fragrance as luminous as the sun it was named after, a sunlit ode to the desert.

How is it different from Mango Kiss and Afterglow?
It is the forefather of the line and builds its base on Russian leather and iris. Mango Kiss reinterprets it in a fruity, tropical key, Afterglow in a more incense-laden, evening key.

Does Soleil de Jeddah L'Original smell of leather?
Yes, Russian leather is in the base with iris butter and Madagascar vanilla, but it comes after a luminous opening of lemon, wild chamomile oil and osmanthus and a heart of iris roots, amber and earthy notes.
