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.

About

Maximus opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and lemon, an invigorating citrus rush that sets the stage for the fragrance. As it unfolds, the heart reveals a fascinating blend of rose and green tea accompanied by a spicy kick of pepper, offering a modern take on a classic floral. The base is a warm embrace of cedar and sandalwood, grounding the scent with a rich, woody depth that lingers long after application. This fragrance strikes an intriguing balance between fresh and earthy, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a powerful presence.
