Taklamakan is named after one of the biggest desert in the world on the Silk Road. The merchants from Europe would pass north or south of the desert, bringing back with them the most beautiful fabrics, jewels and spices from the Orient. Like the shifting sands that compose it, Taklamakan is hot and dry. The perfume is a journey where the Patchouli from India meets the smoky Vanilla, the Resins and the Incense on the ancient Spice Route. It eventually falls in love with the Cedar from China in this deep and powerful fragrance.
Imagine big, think outside the box, break the cultural barriers and unite them together, always go further in beauty and quality. These are the brand values of Stephane Humbert Lucas Paris. Stephane Humbert Lucas Paris is a field of expression for its creator and a way for him to free his artistic sensibility and his overflowing creativity where no marketing concessions are allowed. Each creation starts with a blank page where touches of colour, musical notes, poetic words and pictures will be progressively inscribed. The permanent inspiration drawn from painting, literature, music imposes already the selection of the most beautiful raw materials of perfumery. The process can finally start. The harmony confronts the roughness caused by the creator’s requirement to put perfumery as a major art.
