Best Stéphane Humbert Lucas God of Fire Dupe
Hephaestus captures the smoky, leather-forward character of God of Fire remarkably well, with the spiced opening and oud-leather heart translating effectively to the clone. The base performs adequately with similar warm amber and vetiver, though the original exhibits slightly more depth and complexity in the dry-down, with a richer tobacco undertone that Hephaestus softens somewhat.
The clone's longevity trails the original by approximately 2-3 hours, and the sillage is moderately reduced. Hephaestus leans slightly sweeter in the base with a less prominent tobacco presence, making it a gentler interpretation of the fiery, intense original.
