Stéphane Humbert Lucas God of Fire
Mango and ginger over burning oud
God of Fire is named after Xiuhtecuhtli, the Aztec god of fire, day and light, pictured with a turquoise serpent and a crown of turquoise stones. The brand lays fresh, exotic notes over a warm character: mango, lemon and ginger on top, oud underneath. The brand's own shop text calls it the gateway fragrance of the house.

How it unfolds
-
Mango, lemon, ginger
Mango and lemon open it, with pink berries and ginger close behind. The mango is ripe and soft, the lemon cuts across it, and the ginger adds a warm, slightly peppery edge. The brand says the fresh, exotic notes cover a warm character, and you can already feel that warmth under the fruit.
-
The middle turns woody
Blue coumarin, jasmine and dry woods take over. Coumarin brings a soft, sweet, almost hay-like smoothness, jasmine adds a creamy floral note, and the dry woods stop the whole thing from turning sugary. The fruit steps back here and the wood moves forward.
-
Where the oud burns
Oud, nagarmotha, musk and amber make up the base. Oud is a dark, resinous wood, nagarmotha is earthy and rooty, and musk and amber soften both with warmth. The brand describes the oud as burning like a shamanic experience, which fits the slow, glowing way this part sits on the skin.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Spray God of Fire on skin rather than clothes, two or three times on the chest or wrists. The fruit makes the opening bright, but the oud and amber base suit cooler weather, evenings and dressed-up plans more than a hot afternoon.
Who it is for
People who like fruit in a perfume but want real depth underneath it. If oud has seemed too heavy or too serious to you, the fresh opening gives it an easy way in, which is what the brand means by calling it its gateway fragrance. It is for anyone: dinners, autumn walks, winter evenings.
Why choose Stéphane Humbert Lucas God of Fire
The house calls itself an artistic house of fragrance with no marketing concessions, led by a painter and poet. God of Fire belongs to its Serpent collection, which turns legends of the snake into fragrance. Here the legend is the Aztec fire god with his turquoise serpent.

Questions
Frequently asked
What concentration is God of Fire?
It is an Eau de Parfum. That is a rounded, fairly concentrated strength, richer than an eau de toilette, and the oud and amber base give it presence on the skin.
How would you describe it in one line?
Ripe mango, lemon and ginger over jasmine and dry woods, settling into a warm base of oud, nagarmotha, musk and amber.
When does it suit best?
Cooler weather and evenings, when the oud and amber have room to glow. The fruity opening also works for a spring dinner, but it is less suited to a very hot day.
What size is it?
Each bottle holds 50 ml of Eau de Parfum, a comfortable size to carry and to wear often, at two or three sprays a time.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
