The brand calls it a mineral, spiritual scent that takes its cue from Pierre Soulages and the way light reflects off black. Three cedars and lemon open it; myrrh tar, incense, teak and tonka follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Infusion of 3 cedars, Lemon from Sicily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Myrrh tar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Incense, Teak, Tonka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree cedars, one lemon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is an infusion of three cedars with lemon from Sicily. Cedar brings a dry, clean, pencil-shaving woodiness, and the lemon lifts it with a short, bright note rather than a sweet one. The brand uses the lemon only as a hint, so what you notice first is the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMyrrh tar\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMyrrh tar stands alone in the heart. Myrrh is a resin with a bitter, balsamic side, and the word tar points to a darker, denser character. This is the part the brand ties to black and to light on black: compact, a little dry and quiet rather than sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncense sets it in stone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncense, teak and tonka form the base. The brand's word is that incense 'petrifies' the composition, as if cedar and myrrh were set in stone. Teak adds a smooth, dry wood, and tonka a faint, soft sweetness at the end so that the dark base does not turn harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Gemstone needs few sprays: with its resinous, woody base, two on the chest or neck are enough. It sits well in cool weather and in quiet, indoor settings such as dinners, galleries or evenings at home. In very hot weather, keep it light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who like woody, resinous scents and prefer a restrained, dry, slightly austere mood to sweetness. Cedar, myrrh and incense lean towards the contemplative, so it is a fit for those who want a serious, quiet perfume for autumn and winter days or for special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Stéphane Humbert Lucas Black Gemstone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe creator of the house studied painting in the South of France with a Flemish master, specialising in tempera, and sees his fragrances in colours. Seven is his personal symbol of perfection, luck and protection. In Black Gemstone, black, light and seven all meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the name refer to?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand ties it to the Black Stone in the Grand Mosque of Mecca, which pilgrims circle seven times, and to the number seven, which the creator treats as a symbol of perfection, luck and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a sweet scent?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is dry and woody, with cedar, myrrh tar, incense and teak. Tonka and a hint of lemon soften and brighten it slightly, but the mood is mineral and quiet rather than sugary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen should I wear it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCooler months and calm settings suit it best.
