A composition built around cedarwood and iris in the heart, Fragrance du Bois Lucius Parfum opens on cardamom, lemon, and black pepper before a leather, amber, and patchouli base, for anyone.
Lucius Parfum opens with cardamom, lemon, and black pepper: cardamom provides warm spice from the first spray; lemon adds citrus freshness; black pepper contributes a dry, sharp warmth. The opening is spiced and bright, transitioning quickly to the heart.
Cedarwood and iris in the heart is an unusual pairing: cedarwood provides dry, aromatic wood depth while iris adds its characteristic cool, powdery quality. Together they create a dry, refined heart. Leather, amber, and patchouli in the base take the composition into oriental territory: leather adds an animalic quality, amber provides resinous warmth, patchouli adds earthy depth. Ten to twelve hours on skin.
Lucius Parfum suits autumn and winter from afternoon through evening. The spiced-leather combination reads most clearly in cooler temperatures. A fragrance suited to formal occasions and those who appreciate dry, spiced oriental compositions.
