Inspired by the deadly grace of the viper so exquisitely represented on the bottle, Mortal Skin is a meditation on danger, passion and hypnotic obsession that straddles eastern and western perfumery as only Stephane Humbert Lucas can do. Mortal Skin opens with tantalizing mystery, as a cooling, otherworldly ink accord meets sweet, sticky blackberry and resinous rockrose, at once captivating and threatening, familiar and alien. In the heart, the snake rears back to strike, warm opoponax and myrrh washing over us along aromatic and sweet florals and wisps of spice, hypnotizing in their sway. And once we've realized the power contained within, the resinous base of labdanum, styrax and birch, it's far too late to escape- Mortal Skin has us completely in its grip. Beguiling and seductive, this is a fragrance not to be missed.
