Lucius by Fragrance Du Bois is a bright, peppery citrus set over warm wood. Pink pepper, bergamot and mandarin open it with a sharp, zesty snap. Cedarwood and orange blossom soften the heart, keeping it fresh rather than sweet. The base is simple and clean: amber and vetiver, giving it a dry, slightly earthy close. Launched in 2024, it is unisex, and suits anyone who wants a citrus scent with more structure than the usual cologne. Voters wear it across autumn, winter and spring, mostly at night and in the evening. Voters lean toward calling it long-lasting, with sillage also leaning strong, so it holds up better than a typical citrus opening suggests. A 3ml decant is a fair way to see whether the pepper and wood combination is yours.

The house
More from Fragrance Du Bois
Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house based in Paris, set up in 2013 around one material, oud, with a stated focus on sourcing it responsibly. Expect smoky, balsamic and slightly earthy perfume, softened by amber and vanilla. Saffron, cardamom and pink pepper bring heat, while rose or cherry adds sweetness. Sirène is the easiest way in: dark cherry and amber wrapped around oud. Oud Rose Intense and Oud Orange Intense come from the first year and show where the house began. Lucius and New York 5th Avenue show its newer work. A small bottle tells you how oud sits on your skin.
