    What do reviewers say about Lucius and Gladiator?

    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
    Gladiator earns its name through the mint and bitter orange in the heart. That cool, slightly austere character is what sets this apart from standard citrus fragrances.Gladiator
