Harrods H Mamba, from Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Stéphane Humbert Lucas. It has the top notes of Osmanthus, middle notes of Amber and Orris Root, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Leather, and Styrax.
STÉPHANE HUMBERT LUCAS Harrods H Mamba 2015 La Collection Serpent Unisex, leaning masculine This masterfully blended perfume is the most unique one, “King” imo in this so called Snake Collection.🐍 It has a similar juxtaposition of notes as Soleil De Jeddah OG has, both totally different scents though. Those juices are as well maybe one of the most artistic ones from SHL’s perfumes, at least what I have tried so far. If I would describe this scent: I get the feeling of the burning sand in the heat of the dessert and this snake is there. H Mamba opens up with Osmanthus which brings soft and sensual leathery feeling together with hints of Apricot and all that supports the leather note in the woody base. The opening fades away but the scent doesn’t change so much since it has same nuances from the start which you can find from the dry down. H Mamba is a warm and somewhat dry resinous scent with earthy vibe and there is all the notes which monsieur Lucas does the best: Amber, Iris (OrrisI Root) and balsamic notes - in this case Styrax. There is Leather and Oud in the base notes but those are not that evident, they give the body and richness to this mesmerising blend. As I’m a lover of those two notes I would say that this is quite safe but as a whole composition this not safe anymore - it’s so special. It needs a certain kind of mood to wear it. You can definitely detect a Leather if you are not so used to it but Oud is really tamed and not animalic in any kind of way. Anyway this is really well blended and no single note is standing above the others. Longevity of this perfume is really good. I recommend to sample this first as I emphasise how unique this fragrance is but if you like SHL’s DNA and leather just go for it, your decision of course. The only reason for voting score down is wearability. This is very artistic and it's not so easy to wear. As you can see, this is not complex what comes to the notes but those has been ingeniously put together and the blend is brilliant.
