High Class
Too masculine for me but actually quite stunning and luxurious. Wore it once and felt like I should be playing high stakes poker wearing a Pepsi Rolex and Gucci loafers while secretly planning on divorcing my wife for someone younger. I don’t get animalic at all, I get spicy, powdery heliotrope, and beautiful musky amber.

ISRA & MIRAJ


Isra & Miraj from the French House of Perfumery of Niche Haute Luxury Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 is part of the '777 Collection' is a perfume Oriental, Woody, Powdery, Spicy, Floral, Leather Unisex; It was launched in 2019, the perfumer who signs this fragrance is Stéphane Humbert Lucas.
Isra & Miraj is a fragrance built on the mythical triad of Arabic perfumery: musk, 'oud, amber.
A warm and spicy woody scent.

With a slightly citrusy, powdery powdery and spicy exit, the perfume has evolved into an unusual sweet warm floral center of osmanthus and heliotrope.
And it continues to blend with an ambery woody base and with an animalic hint for an easy and excellent real 'oud intertwined with vanilla, musk and a noble sandalwood of a unique creaminess.

Which followed by a rustic leather and a beautiful and refined ambergris giving even more creaminess and adding another light powdery animalic suggestion to the fragrance.
Oriental Perfume, Woody, Powdery, Spicy, Floral, Leather; Elegant very rich, fine, with very high quality ingredients and with good performance.

SHL, as usual, leaves me perplexed
When I say Stéphane Humbert Lucas leaves me perplexed, I mean that in only the most stunningly awe-inspired way. I’ve worn this on numerous occasions and on numerous occasions, I’ve begun to write a review, only to find myself so perplexed I didn’t know how to begin, let alone what all it was I would want to say. With warmer spring weather beating on the door, my trying to be more conscientious about keeping track of my feelings about fragrances, and being aware of what I’ve worn and when, so that I be sure to give them all adequate wearings, today I’m going to force myself. Hopefully I can turn this bewilderment into words that make even slight sense.

First I’ll say I’ve seen this mostly compared to Musc Ravegeur and Shalimar. As luck would have it, I’ve not smelled either of those. However, that’s mostly due to having other fragrances I’ve seen compared to both. Fêtes Persanes and 1899 both of which I’ve seen compared to MR, and Kashnoir, which I’ve seen compared to Shalimar, all reside within my collection. In the opening / mid, I see the resemblance to both Fêtes Persanes and 1899 as the opening and mid feel dominated by the spices and vanilla which gives it a similar feel. I wouldn’t call them close, just mildly similar, a similar vibe / aura. When this moves into the dry down, I can feel / smell a somewhat similar vibe / aura to Kashnoir. Again, not real close, but distantly similar. Interestingly enough, at initial spray through about the first 30 minutes, I also pick up a slight similarity with the opening of Wish Come True - I get a slightly more “coca-cola” sensation from Wish than this, but, and I haven’t quite made sense of the connection I feel between these two, I don’t get that coke feeling from Isra. Eventually I’m going to have to do a side by side and figure out this perplexing aspect / reminder / olfactive scent memory / similarity.

The opening of this is just simply delicious. To my nose I get the nutmeg and cinnamon with the vanilla of the mid notes front and center. The bergamot, tangerine, and osmanthus seem to be in the background supporting the frag as a whole as it’s in the earlier phases of development on the skin. I’ve seen some describe this as very linear and I just don’t get that at all. This one evolves and evolves again on my skin.

Something interesting begins happening as the clock ticks past 30 minutes and gets closer to about an hour in. SHL’s frags always hit me in a way the vast vast majority of others have not. His works have this power over my nose where my nose detects scent in a manner of scent + texture. To be quite honest, other than SHL, I can’t think off the top of my head, of another fragrance where I sense texture with scent. I’m sure there are definitely others where I do, just not so prominently as is the case with all SHL frags I’ve tried or have in my collection. Anyhow, as this gets into the dry down something really interesting happens with this one to my nose - the texture comes into play. But here’s the odd thing, usually when my nose encounters the magic of scent + texture, it’s one texture. This one, though, I’m getting 3 different textures in the mid, as I continue to whiff sniff and huff this in off my skin, and at least a 4th distinct to my nose texture in the dry down. Anyhow, in the mid, with one sniff it’s effervescent, sort of bubbly, like a carbonated beverage tickling your nose. At other sniffs it’s fluffy and reminiscent of cotton balls or whipped meringue. Then again, just when I’m sure that’s the end, I get powdery. This perplexes my brain. Like it’s doing too many things to be real and makes me question my sanity and nose with thoughts like “am I going mad? Am I really picking that up… let me try again,” and it just keeps changing up on me. I’m guessing the bubbly effervescence is the chamomile and citrus coming through, the fluffiness from a mix of the osmanthus, heliotrope, and perhaps the leather. The reason I say leather is the fluffiness causes images in my mind of soft suede, but almost as if you magnified the suede 10,000 x and lay on it to sleep. I get the feeling that soft suede, made much larger compared to self would feel fluffy. I swear, SHL’s frags make me feel like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole to wonderland or am on some odd hallucinogen affection only my sense of smell. Friggin groovy, man. Powdery! The powdery clearly has to be from the heliotrope. Oddly I don’t much care for powderiness in fragrances, as usually when I encounter powderiness it’s less texture to my nose and more a scent of powder. This is just… different. When the powder begins to take hold it’s sort of an amalgation of notes into something other than the notes. I’m always bewildered when a frag can spark olfactive memory due to smelling like something from years, decades in the past. I’m just as bewildered by those whose frags just create something that makes you think “I’ve never smelled this in my life. What is this, where has it been my whole life, and why did it take until now to finally show up!?” This powdery sensation is accompanied by something new. I cannot discern what of the top, mid, and bottom notes are present. It’s just a new magical potion that has a powdery sensation but smells nothing like any powder I’ve ever smelled.

This new to my nose scent of the mid does some odd things as it gets into the dry down and the hours pass. Every so often those 3 tactile sensations come and go but a 4th one comes into play, a smooth, thick, creaminess. With occasional wafts of the scent in the wind or from moving about, at times the scent is spicy, at times the citrus is more prevalent, at times vanilla, and even some almond from the heliotrope. The prominence of scents and texture seem to mix and match and at times I’m left with that sum is greater than its parts brand new to my nose scent. SHL being the wizard he is, though, it gets even deeper. The oud, while not dominant as is the case in an out and out oud frag, seems to intermingle with the existing oddity of scent, as well as the sandalwood, amber, and patchouli to cause that sensation of smooth, silky, creaminess while the fragrance just gets richer from those same notes. It doesn’t change to something other than what it is, but rather just seems to get more intense, like it’s more well supported.

I’m baffled. This fragrance to my nose is like the opening to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Johnny Depp narrates Hunter S Thompson’s words “we were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold…” as it literally makes me question my sanity or if I’m smelling things, perceiving things that simply cannot be in the physical world. Bravo Stéphane, this stuff is otherworldly and one of the reasons why he is jockeying for numero uno on my list of fave perfumers.

Edit: forgot to add in my thoughts of unisex vs fem vs masculine. I’ve seen some men refer to it as fem, some women refer to it as masculine and Vice versa. This to my nose is 100% unisex and doesn’t lean either way. To me it’s unisex leaning otherworldly. The enduring mystery scent of the dry down and ebbs and flows into then opening and dry down aspects all defy fem/masculine character in my nose’s opinion.

In the fragrant heaven of the Orient
I have 5 cc's of Isra & Miraj. I guard her like gold. The perfume is so precious that I have to think carefully when I'm going to use it. The bottle is incredibly beautiful, as absolutely noble as this brand guarantees. But unfortunately, I don't have it. Instead two very nice little bottlings. I choose the smaller of the two and spray gently. At the moment I am in the fragrant heaven of the Orient. All around me silky soft, golden embroidered cushions, wide brocade borders, pointed babouche with purple and purple embroidery. A light breeze of fresh citrus fruit blows from somewhere... by then it's gone again, and I suddenly find myself standing in front of a colourful carpet with dozens of spice bags. One is filled with nutmeg, out of another cinnamon sticks stick out, I can also see peppercorns. I see dates in the distance, a few old men drinking sweet tea and offering me a tiny glass decorated with golden waves. I breathe the sweet scent around me deeply. Delicious. Something slightly woody penetrates the sweet air and exudes a spicy aroma. No wonder, while trying to turn around myself once, I came across a mighty osmanthus bush. Its yellow, slightly fleshy flowers exude a delicately fruity fragrance, while the woody plant gives off a bitter taste that blends in with the sweetness. Very easily, in the background, I keep thinking I hear horse hooves, a minimal stable smell penetrates my consciousness from very far away. I also think I notice the saddles, old, heavy leather saddles that have been in use for decades. This harsh undertone that surrounds me becomes more and more obvious - is someone approaching me? In the nearby forest the riders must be; I can feel the scent of woods and the resin of old trees without losing the impression of sweetness. But it no longer fills the room, but lies like a gentle breeze over the slightly pungent tones that penetrate my nose. Slowly the sweetness becomes less, I still feel a hint of almond vanilla, which remains. I let myself sink onto one of the soft pillows, slip out of my shoes, nestle into a comfortable side position and close my eyes. The spices, the forest, the horses - I let all of this take effect on me for a long time and listen to the numerous noises that reach my ear from everywhere. Until the riders have moved on and I, enjoying the increasing silence, surrender myself completely to the sweet, delicate scent of vanilla and almond, which has not left me until now. A comforting warmth flows through me... This is the fragrant heaven of Isra & Miraj.

Leopard cage...
I usually love oriental scents and I have had and tested many scents with oud among others In the Emirates. So I am used to real and very dominant oud. That first in advance..

When I sprayed this fragrance, I am almost tipped over. So an animal scent I have not smelled anywhere until now. Sorry but I find the scent in the first hours just more than disgusting. Reminds me 100% of big cat cages in the zoo, including various excrement. In addition, there is a note of dirty leather. An old leather jacket worn about 1000 times...Super masculine and unwearable for a woman in my opinion..

Later, the scent is softer and more pleasant but for that I have to stay the first 2 hours in the leopard cage and I just do not manage. Have I yesterday with great effort managed and today I wanted to give the fragrance because of the many very good reviews here a 2nd chance but I got downright nausea and would have to wash off the fragrance....

I just do not understand all the top reviews here. Can of course be that my skin chemistry somehow leaves the big cat out and with other people it is just not the case...? ?

It opens with bergamot and patchouli. Then you get a addictive mix of cinnamon and nutmeg. Also vanilla, musk and ambergris in the drydown.

The Shalimar wibe, yes. But this is beautiful, and I love to wear this, not Shalimar. Perhaps the citruses are a sunnier, opoponax missing

Its oudy vanilla background is truly Shalimar style. But it's brighter, sweeter, more playful, and less ethereal.
