Stéphane Humbert Lucas The Queen and the Viper is a unisex oriental woody fragrance from La Collection Serpent — a dark and seductive ode to Cleopatra, the last queen of ancient Egypt, and her legendary final act of power.

Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 and La Collection Serpent

Founded in France, the maison Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 creates fragrances that transcend the conventional — compositions that balance light and shadow, structure and emotion. La Collection Serpent was born in 2025 to explore myth, power, and seduction through the art of fragrance.

The Queen and the Viper carries the joint signature of Stéphane Humbert Lucas and Karine Chevallier. Moreover, the fragrance draws on the historical account of Cleopatra — that geometric and sensual queen who chose the venom of a serpent over defeat, transforming her ending into an act of absolute power.

The Queen and the Viper — Fragrance Notes

Top Notes — Mentholated and Mysterious Opening

Bergamot, citrus, blackcurrant buds, spearmint, davana, incense, and styrax create an opening of extraordinary complexity. In fact, the mint here is not cold or sharp — it is soft and enveloping, like a mint leaf steeped in a spiced infusion beneath the Alexandrian sun.

Heart Notes — Aromatic and Sensual Florals

African mint, clary sage, vetiver, osmanthus, and jasmine sambac compose a multidimensional heart. Furthermore, the osmanthus brings an apricot-leathered depth that contrasts beautifully with the luminosity of jasmine sambac and the herbal precision of clary sage.

Base Notes — Dark and Lasting

Blond tobacco, dates, burnt labdanum, saffron, and birch form a deep and resinous base of extraordinary persistence. Finally, tobacco and dates intertwine with saffron and labdanum to create a dark, warm, and magnetically seductive trail.

Longevity, Sillage and Occasion

Stéphane Humbert Lucas The Queen and the Viper delivers between 8 and 10 hours of longevity on skin, with generous and enveloping projection that clings especially well to fabric. Therefore, its presence is commanding without being overwhelming — a fragrance that fills the space with authority and elegance.

It is ideal for autumn and winter, when cool air intensifies the spices and deepens the amber-leather base. However, cool spring evenings are equally perfect for this dark queen. It shines at evening events, special dinners, and any occasion that deserves a truly regal olfactory signature.

Who Is The Queen and the Viper For?

Stéphane Humbert Lucas The Queen and the Viper is a truly unisex fragrance. Nevertheless, its dark oriental character and resinous depth make it especially powerful for those who appreciate modern perfumery with structure, symbolism, and boldness. Indeed, it is the fragrance of those who are not afraid to command the room with their presence.
