Lucius Maximus opens with a bright, spicy citrus combination of bitter orange, mandarin, bergamot and pink pepper. The freshness is crisp and energetic, creating a strong contrast with the darker gourmand character that develops through the heart.

Roasted coffee becomes a defining element as the fragrance develops, joined by orange flower, cedarwood, Mahonial™ and Georgywood™. The base becomes warmer and smoother through Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean, while cypriol, vetiver and Akigalawood™ provide dry, earthy and spicy woody structure. The overall impression is citrusy, coffee-rich, woody and gourmand without relying entirely on sweetness.

Lucius Maximus has a rich woody gourmand profile that can be especially appealing for evenings, dinners, special occasions and cooler-weather wear. Its citrus opening provides brightness, while coffee, vanilla, tonka and modern woods give the fragrance a deeper character as it develops.

It can also work as an everyday fragrance for someone who enjoys richer coffee, vanilla and woody compositions. Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

Lucius Maximus combines several contrasting elements that are best evaluated on skin. Bright citrus and pink pepper transition into roasted coffee before the fragrance settles into vanilla, tonka bean, vetiver and modern woody materials.

A Lucius Maximus sample allows you to experience that full development before committing to a larger quantity. A travel-size decant also provides an easy way to add the fragrance to your collection or take it with you without carrying a full-size Fragrance Du Bois bottle.
