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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With eternal longevity and enormous sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent, though some find it acceptable in air-conditioned professional settings. Its powerful projection makes it ideal for dates and formal events where you want to stand out, but it's too intense for casual or sport wear.

About

Maxximus IX opens with an unexpected herbaceous bitterness from artemisia, quickly mellowed by crisp lavender and cool mint, alongside a hint of bright tangerine. The heart reveals a complex tapestry where earthy patchouli and green cypress intertwine with rich chocolate and a creamy caramel, balanced by aromatic geranium and warm tonka bean. As it settles, a robust base of musk, cedar, and sandalwood emerges, deepened by smoky vetiver and modern amberwood, leaving a lasting, intense trail.
