Stéphane Humbert Lucas

"Black Gemstone EDP is a dark, resinous woody-oriental fragrance from Stéphane Humbert Lucas’s 777 collection, released in 2013. Multiple sources describe it as an homage to the sacred Black Stone of the Kaaba in Mecca, giving the perfume a spiritual and meditative identity. Its core structure centers on lemon and cedar in the opening, a heart of myrrh and resins, and a dense base of teak wood, olibanum, and tonka bean. Reviews consistently characterize it as smoky, balsamic, powerful, and mysteriously sweet, with a polished but dramatic evolution on skin. The scent is widely regarded as one of the house’s standout dark offerings, praised for richness, depth, and impressive endurance. Although some retailer note lists vary slightly, the verified market consensus supports a resinous-incense-woody profile with strong oriental warmth."

Reviews Summary

“User and critic impressions consistently describe Black Gemstone as a dark, smoky, resin-heavy fragrance with strong quality and excellent performance. The opening is often noted for a striking contrast between tart lemon, cedar, and burning resins, before softening into a smoother incense-woody oriental drydown. Reviewers frequently call it spiritual, calming, mysterious, and regal, while some compare its mood to gothic or ceremonial incense. Performance is commonly praised as long-lasting with strong projection, though its bold resinous style is considered niche and potentially challenging for casual wearers. Pricing is often mentioned as high, but many reviewers still regard it as one of the house’s most distinctive creations.”
