The snake kills quickly
There he is now. At last, I almost have to say. I've been looking for this fragrance for so long, and I finally got a sample. (Many thanks again to the generous donor). Mortal Skin, the red snake flacon with the glittering eyes. I had already tested his brother Harrods and was very impressed, but not sure how to evaluate this differentiated work. But I can already foresee that it will not be easier for me to make a final decision with Mortal Skin. So many notes, so many chords and such a mixture, as one finds it so rarely.
In general, it must be said that the fragrances of Stephane Humbert Lucas are always something special and stand out clearly from the mass of common fragrances. Whether it's certain chords that you don't expect or fragrances that don't want to fit into the fragrance pyramid at all. But there is always a way to create special perfumes which are more than just a means to smell good. In the case of Black Gemstone and Harrods, fragrances have told whole stories, aroused emotions and given a feeling that you can't get with most fragrances. But it is not only the fragrance itself that is convincing. It's also the general presentation and presentation in the high-quality and artistically attractive flacons.
I will first talk about Mortal Skin and then show the differences to Harrods, which smells quite different.
In any case, MortalSkin is more transparent and sensitive than I had imagined. The association with the stripped skin of a snake fits perfectly, because as soft and unobtrusive as the scent attaches itself to the skin is inimitable. As with all other SHL fragrances, it is difficult to make out a clear progression for Mortal Skin, as the chords alternate relatively quickly and new components are added, creating a completely new mixture. Therefore I try to show it a little bit more pictorially again.
Also in terms of the scent pyramid, one can imagine a snake moving through a green forest through the undergrowth. While hungrily looking for its next prey, it tries to wipe off the drying old and scaly skin. On trees dripping with resin as well as on bushes it tries to get rid of the annoying cover. Suddenly she hears rustling and moving leaves in front of her. Not too far away, she is sure of that thanks to her experience. Elongated ears seem to protrude over the green. A hare, what a treat on this rather damp autumn day. The rain had stopped before and so some forest inhabitants are now walking in the thicket again. Slowly it snakes its way towards the prey, carefully and cautiously so as not to induce the victim to flee.
In slow motion she opens her mouth, the two gib teeth flash in the dark surroundings of the forest and drops of the toxic agent fall unintentionally to the ground.
The next moment: Silence No sound penetrates the forest, everything around the moment falls into a sleep. You only see little fur paws moving wildly back and forth to escape the situation. It is too late. The huge jaws have already bitten hard and inject the poison, which takes effect within seconds. Wild kicking, fast movements, it's no use. The snake has found its victim and killed him. It's the course of nature, following the food chain. The snake stands much higher up and has shown this with all its might.
In sales I have at least been able to find the following chords:
- Ink
- fruity and woody, reminiscent of a high-proof berry brandy
- powdery leather
- woody leather
- woody saffron
- dry unsweet resin of a coniferous tree
- Birch
- smoky wood
- woody cardamom
Everything in interplay, always something new, no definitive course that I could describe in simple words.
What is the shelf life and silage of this extraordinary fragrance? In something like you can imagine with this quite cuddly scent. The sillage is not excessive, which the fragrance does not want to show at all. It wants to be inconspicuous, wants to please its wearer and not be a firework display for its surroundings. On my skin, therefore, the durability is not such that the next morning I still smell intensively of the snake of the forest. The certain restraint is noticeable in the fragrance at every point of its being. If the wearer is allowed to stroll proudly around here for six to eight hours, then this is a quite realistic statement. If it's more, all the better.
Now the question has come for me, what are the differences between Mortal Skin and Harrods ?
Harrods is a little more conspicuous, a little more present and more uncompromising. The fragrance reveals a completely different appearance. Harrods is fiercely smoky and resinous, brutal and always ready for action. As dark as this fragrance presents itself, as light is the forest that Mortal Skin and its inhabitants represent. To describe it a bit more figuratively, Harrods tells the whole dark and raw story of man, while Mortal Skin wants to show the bitter reality of the peaceful forest.
Despite my faible for dark scents, I think the Mortal Skin is the better scent. Not only because I appreciate the transparency, but also because of all the DNA and design. These changing chords, the unpredictable changes in alignment always make you wonder. Once again, the brand has inspired me and created a certain urge to buy.
