Black Gemstone, from Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Stéphane Humbert Lucas. It has the top notes of Cedarwood and Lemon, middle notes of Myrrh and Resins, and base notes of Olibanum (Frankincense), Teak Wood, and Tonka Bean.
Some scents are easier for me to review going through the notes and some scents are much more easier to put into words through imaginary visions. Black Gemstone is the latter one, especially since I saw the whole exact list of notes after having smelling the scent for many days while thinking my review and how to capture the atmosphere of Black Gemstone. If I could only use two words to describe Black Gemstone SPIRITUAL and CALMING would be those words. This scent is a huge experience to my soul and my inner peace - even if peace in there is rare though. In the first scene of this scent there is a huge cave with enormous, powerful and cold walls of the stone - the stone is dark like is the mysteriously smoky resinous air inside the cave. Air is dry and it hasn’t been raining for a long time. From somewhere, the smell of dark trees wafts into my nose but I don’t see anything. I’m alone in this endless darkness and I fall into a melancholic state of mind. In the second scene of this scent I’m still in this cave with black walls of stone. There is raining outside a lot and the humidity in the air together with the drops of water dripping from the cave walls make everything smell more rich, warm and sweet, almost fruity and the air is soft and tender. The campfire is warming me and my mind but the air will never become stuffy from the burning wood, it’s easy for me to breathe. I feel safe and hopeful. Black Gemstone is a real gem. It’s resinous, balsamic and woody and it starts from cold shades and slowly turns into sweet and warm side. It’s easily recognizable SHL and definitely one of the most unique perfumes in the world.
