Max Philip Luban is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Luban opens with Lily of the Valley, Frankincense, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Labdanum, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Incense, and Ambergris. Max Philip's Luban carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume, it's a statement. Luban is a bold, modern take on incense that will certainly get you noticed - for all the right reasons, if you're into that sort of thing. Some find it a bit much, but if you want to stand out, this is your weapon.

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.

About

Luban blasts off with an almost metallic freshness from aldehydes and lily of the valley, quickly shadowed by the spiritual, slightly smoky lift of frankincense. The heart softens with a classic rose, but it's swiftly enveloped by the warm, resinous embrace of labdanum and benzoin. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of clean musk, lingering incense smoke, and the subtle, saline-sweet whisper of ambergris, making for a truly memorable trail.
