Soleil de Jeddah
Soleil de Jeddah by Stéphane Humbert Lucas is an unisex parfum from 2014 in the luxury price tier. It opens with mango and saffron, moves into osmanthus and jasmine and dries down to oud, musk and amber. Expect around 11 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
