Fragrance Du Bois made Lucius Maximus in 2026 as a unisex parfum centred on roasted coffee and orange blossom. Bergamot, bitter orange, mandarin and pink pepper open the top with a sharp citrus snap. Coffee and orange blossom take over in the heart notes, alongside cedarwood, georgywood and mahonial. The base runs deep and resinous, with Haitian vetiver, tonka bean, Madagascar vanilla, cypriol and akigalawood leaving a dark, woody trail. It suits anyone drawn to scents with discipline and weight instead of lightness. Voters give it to fall and winter, in the evening and at night. Most wearers vote its longevity long lasting, and the vote on sillage is clear: strong. Very little carries a whole evening. Try a 3ml decant first to learn how the coffee and vetiver sit on your skin.

The community verdict
On autumn evenings, Lucius Maximus opens with bitter orange and bergamot before coffee and cedarwood give way to earthy cypriol. Most find it long-lasting, with strong projection also reported by most. Winter suits it as much as autumn, and nights work too, especially for someone drawn to a bold, woody coffee scent.
