Fragrance du Bois Lucius Maximus Parfum

Description

Lucius Maximus, launched in 2026 by perfumer Jordi Fernández, is Fragrance du Bois's newest statement piece, an amber-woody built around commanding vanilla, tonka, and vetiver rather than the house's signature oud. It opens with a citrus-and-pink-pepper brightness, moves through a coffee-and-cedar heart, and settles into a rich, ambery vanilla base, a fragrance built around presence rather than volume.

Scent Character

• Woods & Amber (Cedarwood, Georgywood, Akigalawood, Cypriol): 35%
• Gourmand Vanilla & Tonka: 30%
• Citrus & Spice (Bitter Orange, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Mandarin): 20%
• Coffee & Aromatic: 15%

Translation: a woody-vanilla amber with a bright citrus-spice opening and a coffee-tinged heart, no oud in this one, despite the house's oud pedigree.

Fragrance Pyramid

Performance

As a newly launched 2026 release, broad wearer consensus is still forming. Based on its vanilla-tonka-vetiver base architecture, a genre known for strong performance, expect excellent longevity (8+ hours) and confident sillage that projects generously at first before settling into an intimate skin scent.

FAQ

Does Lucius Maximus contain real oud?
No. Despite Fragrance du Bois's oud specialism, this release is built around vanilla, tonka, and vetiver rather than agarwood.

Is this the same as "Lucius" (2024)?
No. Lucius Maximus is a distinct, newer 2026 release, separate from the earlier Lucius.

Is it unisex?
Yes, though it's positioned toward a more commanding, masculine-leaning character.

What's the best way to try it first?
Start with a 1 mL or 5 mL sample to see how the citrus-coffee opening settles into the vanilla-vetiver base on your skin.
