Lemon opens it beside wild chamomile oil and osmanthus, iris roots and amber hold the middle, and Russian leather and Madagascan vanilla close it. The house's shop calls this version L'Original. A powdery, dry composition like this one is best met in a decant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Lemon, Wild Chamomile oil, Osmanthus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Iris roots, Amber, Earthy notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Iris butter, Russian leather, Vanilla from Madagascar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLemon in full sun\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intense lemon leads, with wild chamomile oil and osmanthus around it. The lemon is bright and sour, the chamomile adds dry, herbal sweetness, and the osmanthus a soft, fruity-floral warmth. On skin, watch how the glare softens within a few minutes as the flowers come forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIris, amber, a dusty ground\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIris roots, amber and earthy notes make the middle. The iris brings a cool, dry, powdery texture, amber golden warmth, and the earthy notes a dusty ground, as if sand lay underfoot. Powdery scents are a matter of taste, and the decant tells you which side you stand on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather and vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scent ends on iris butter, Russian leather and Madagascan vanilla. The iris butter is smooth, waxy and powdery, the leather a deep, dry note, and the vanilla softens both into a warm finish. Wear it for a full evening to see how the leather and vanilla share the last stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lemon gives a bright start, but amber, leather and vanilla are warm and dry, so test the decant in mild or cool weather and in the evening. If you try it in warm weather, apply it lightly and see if it stays comfortable. Wear it across a day and look at how the powdery iris changes between morning and night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople who enjoy oriental perfumes built on iris, amber and leather instead of heavy sweetness. If you like a lemon opening that gives way to something golden and smooth, with a powdery heart, this is worth testing. It works for anyone, at dinners, on special occasions or in colder months, and the sample tells you if the powder is too dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Stéphane Humbert Lucas Soleil de Jeddah as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoleil de Jeddah has flanker versions with different characters, so being sure which one you are wearing matters, and this is the original. Iris and leather are acquired tastes, and a pyramid cannot say if they will feel elegant or dusty on you. A 10 ml decant filled from the original bottle settles that before you buy 50 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the decant?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoleil de Jeddah Eau de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original 50 ml bottle into a 10 ml glass spray vial and labelled by us. Stéphane Humbert Lucas does not supply it, and we are not affiliated with the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is it sometimes called L'Original?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe house's shop adds L'Original to tell this version apart from its flankers, Mango Kiss and Afterglow. On the bottle and as the perfume name it is simply Soleil de Jeddah, and this decant is that original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a lemon perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly at the start. Lemon, chamomile oil and osmanthus open it, but the character comes from iris, amber, Russian leather and Madagascan vanilla, which are warm, dry and powdery rather than citrusy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I test it in summer?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, with a light hand. The lemon brings brightness, but the base is warm, so a modest application is wise in heat. The decant lets you try both a hot day and a cooler evening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stéphane Humbert Lucas","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693363626138,"sku":"DG-SHL-SOLEIL-DE-JEDDAH-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693363658906,"sku":"DG-SHL-SOLEIL-DE-JEDDAH-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693330858138,"sku":"DG-SHL-SOLEIL-DE-JEDDAH-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/stephane-humbert-lucas-soleil-de-jeddah-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791395719","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/stephane-humbert-lucas-soleil-de-jeddah-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
