Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its beastly performance and strong sillage, this fragrance is best reserved for evening dates and formal events where it can truly shine and draw attention. It's too potent for an office setting and a bit much for casual wear, as noted by several reviewers who praised its powerful projection.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Lucius Maximus bursts open with a vibrant, zesty blend of bitter orange, bergamot, and mandarin, spiced with a hint of pink pepper. This invigorating citrus quickly subsides, making way for a complex, warm heart of earthy woods, creamy vanilla, and a subtle hint of coffee. As it settles, rich tonka and a smoky cypriol oil emerge, creating a sophisticated and deeply luxurious dry-down that feels both comforting and mysteriously alluring. White florals add a touch of playful complexity throughout.
