Antique wood, leather, smoke, liquor, and dried fruits.
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.
