The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Bergamot and mandarin make a clean, juicy citrus opening, and pink pepper adds a dry, faintly sparkling edge. It is crisp rather than sweet, a start that feels awake. The brand describes the opening as fresh and citrusy.
Cedarwood brings a dry, upright woodiness, while orange flower adds a soft, clean floral warmth that rounds the edges. Together they keep the middle woody without turning austere, and the citrus eases into it instead of dropping away.
The base joins the gentle sweetness of tonka to the green earthiness of vetiver and a warm, dry amber. Together they give a steady, settled finish that holds the woods in place without tipping into sweetness. As a Parfum, it is built to last.
Wearing it
The fresh opening suits the office and daytime, and the amber and tonka base lets it carry into the evening. Two or three sprays on chest or neck are enough; a Parfum is concentrated and the woods build slowly. Spring and autumn suit it best.
Men who like clean, woody fragrances with a citrus lift, and anyone who prefers a controlled, confident scent to a sweet or heavy one. The brand made it as its first fragrance aimed at men, with strength and confidence in mind.
Lucius is built on fresh woods: citrus, cedarwood, vetiver and dry amber, with tonka for softness. It was the house's first fragrance aimed at men, and it comes in a black glass bottle and a carbon-pattern gift box.
Questions
A fresh woody: bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper at the top, cedarwood and orange flower in the middle, tonka, vetiver and dry amber at the base.
Its fresh, citrusy opening and woody middle are easy to wear in the daytime. Use a light hand, since a Parfum is concentrated.
This is the 100 ml bottle. The black glass bottle comes in a carbon-pattern gift box, which makes it easy to give.
The house

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
