Lucius Maximus

Lucius Maximus Fragrance Du Bois: bold woody gourmand built 

When developing Lucius Maximus, Fragrance Du Bois and perfumer Jordi Fernández explored the idea of inherited power, controlled authority and the legacy of ancient Rome. The fragrance is presented as the deeper origin story behind Lucius, expressing strength through discipline rather than spectacle. Jordi Fernández describes the composition through the tension between energy and control, contrasting bright freshness with darker depth. The result is designed to feel commanding yet composed, combining a sharp citrus opening with coffee, vanilla and contemporary woody materials.

 

Olfactory Notes

Upon the first spray, Lucius Maximus opens with a vivid combination of Pink Pepper, Bergamot, Mandarin and Bitter Orange. The citrus creates a bright and precise freshness, while pink pepper adds a dry spicy lift. As the fragrance develops, dark roasted Coffee becomes central to the composition, accompanied by luminous Orange Flower and the woody structure of Cedarwood, Georgywood™ and Mahonial™. This heart brings together gourmand warmth and polished modern woods without losing the clarity of the opening. Finally, Madagascar Vanilla and Tonka Bean introduce a smooth sweetness, while Cypriol, Haitian Vetiver and Akigalawood™ create a darker, earthy and spicy woody foundation. The drydown is warm, textured and noticeably richer than the original Lucius.
