Crying of Evil – Eau de Parfum

Stéphane Humbert Lucas - Crying of Evil - La Collection Serpent - Snake Collection - Eau de Parfum

Crying of Evil by Stéphane Humbert Lucas – La Collection Serpent – Snake Collection "Crying of Evil" draws inspiration from Charles Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal", a renowned collection of poems published in 1857. Baudelaire's work explores themes of transience, the search for beauty, the dark side of human nature and the interplay between sin and redemption. The poems, including "Les Litanies de Satan", "La Beauté" and "Le Serpent qui danse", are characterized by haunting language and contrasts between light and darkness, good and evil.

In "Crying of Evil," the fragrance captures the paradoxical nature expressed in Baudelaire's poetry – a perpetual struggle between man's yearning for the absolute and attraction to vice. The perfume becomes a poetic alchemy, infusing leather, myrrh, violet tears and rare flowers to magnify sensitivity and deliver emotions drop by drop. This oriental perfume features a powerful trail, exuding an animalic and fascinating aura – a hymn to the love of beauty. Leather evokes a subversive lounge with wheels and soft-colored skins, creating an atmosphere of longing and perpetual time with inherent risks and dangers. Violets swirl around, tuberose tingles the senses and the nighttime cabaret resembles a cage with half-open doors and purple clouds of smoke.

The fragrance invites a choice – stay or go. The experience challenges the inner being, playing with colorful, beautiful, and dark notes akin to a horror story. A sandalwood chandelier flickers in a world where walls film silhouettes moving like waves – languid, astonishingly beautiful ectoplasms. Floral power, precious tobacco, Indian patchouli and glove-soft leather evoke a departure from this world, leaving behind a mourning for passionate beauty.
