Real talk
Lucius is expensive. That's the first thing anyone notices. Then they lean closer. The opening is clean citrus and pink pepper, the drydown is orange blossom and warm woods.Lucius
Here's the thing: not every fragrance needs to announce itself. This one leads with bright citrus up top that gives way to a clean, herbal heart and a warm woody base.Optimistic for Him
