Oumma Stéphane Humbert Lucas 2013

Oumma is a beautifully and very well blended one more masterpiece from Monsieur Lucas. This perfume is Rose Oud fragrance but delightfully different than the most of them in the market and there is no Vanilla in this. In the same time this is very unisex since it’s not so sweet than most of the roses with Vanilla and it’s not so dark and brash like some of Oud scents can be, I love all those as well though.

Oumma opens up with a very fresh Rose and it’s something like a smell of roses after the rain. It’s a little bit like diluted Rose, like a rose water and not in the bad or negative way - it’s really inviting and sensual. Jasmine doesn’t stand out for me I really just get a rose. This blend is quite quickly heavenly smoky and ashy because of the resins and balsamic used in the middle (Tolu Balsam and Peru Balsam) and in the base (Cade oil). That smoky and ashy feeling is not tobacco like or strong, it’s from Cade oil and that’s why it’s very soft, it’s obtained by steam distillation of crude oil and therefore it’s steamy smoky witch is really nice nuance together with that watery rose. Resins and balsamic are typical ingredients used in many scents of Stephané Humbert Lucas and I have written separate post earlier about those scents. Amazing aromatic and warm Burmese Oud base together with earthy, aromatic and woody characters of Nagarmotha completes this whole beauty.

This is really captivating blend and I’m sure that even those ones who are not so big fan of either rose or oud can easily like this one, at least this is worth to try. This is unique and this is an art like most of this house’s juices but in this there is not so surprising ingredients combined together so this is a little bit easier to approach I think.

Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review and it was helpful.
