Stéphane Humbert Lucas Pink Boa
Tangy pink: blackcurrant, raspberry, vodka
Pink Boa is a tangy pink swirl in which, in the brand's picture, a fragrant snake wraps around you and leaves a powdery trail with the feel of summer. Blackcurrant, bergamot and rosemary open it, raspberry and an icy vodka accord sit in the middle, and patchouli, amber, olibanum and musk close. The brand calls it a gourmand snake.

How it unfolds
-
Sharp and green
Rosemary, bergamot and blackcurrant lead. Rosemary is herbal and a little camphorous, bergamot bright and slightly bitter, and blackcurrant tart, dark and juicy. The brand calls the whole thing tangy, and in this first layer the word fits best.
-
Vodka, raspberry, basil
Vodka is the unusual note here: the brand describes an icy vodka accord, which reads as cold, clean and slightly sharp. Raspberry adds sweetness on top of it, and basil brings a green, peppery freshness that stops the fruit from turning jammy. This is the gourmand part of the story.
-
Running out into musk
Patchouli, amber, olibanum and musk make the base. Patchouli is earthy and dark, amber warm and soft, olibanum a dry, slightly citrusy resin, and musk smooth. The brand speaks of addictive musk at the close, and of a powdery trail.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
Pink Boa is made for lighter, warmer days: citrus, rosemary and berries suit spring and summer and warm evenings out, while the amber and patchouli base gives enough depth for cooler nights. Two or three sprays on warm skin let the powdery trail come into its own.
Who it is for
People who like fruity gourmand perfumes with a cool, herbal twist rather than a plainly sweet one. If you enjoy blackcurrant and raspberry but want rosemary, basil and patchouli to keep them grown-up, this suits you. It is for anyone after a playful, summery scent with some bite.
Why choose Stéphane Humbert Lucas Pink Boa
Pink Boa gives the snake a playful side: a pink serpent, a tangy fruit swirl and a powdery trail. The house describes itself as a field of expression for its creator, a painter and poet, and this one shows a bright, light-handed palette.

Questions
Frequently asked
Why is there vodka in a perfume?
It is one of the notes in the heart. The brand uses it as an icy accord beside raspberry and basil, to give the sweetness of the fruit a cold, clean edge.
Is it a summer perfume?
It leans that way: the brand talks of the feel of summer, and bergamot, rosemary and blackcurrant keep the opening fresh. The amber and patchouli base still makes it usable on cooler evenings.
Is it very sweet?
It is a gourmand, so raspberry and blackcurrant bring sweetness, but rosemary, basil, bergamot and patchouli keep it tangy and herbal rather than syrupy.
What concentration and size is it?
Eau de Parfum in 50 ml. The concentration is rich enough for the musk and amber base to speak, without the fruit turning heavy.

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
