For Men

A bold, vintage oriental-woody powerhouse with fruity and incense layers—Lapidus opens with a striking burst of pineapple, citrus (lemon, bergamot), lavender and aromatic herbs like basil and juniper berries. The heart introduces rich tones of honey, incense, pine tree, rose, Brazilian rosewood, jasmine, orris root, lily-of-the-valley, caraway and petitgrain, adding spicy-floral complexity. The base is warm and resonant with tobacco, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedar, amber, tonka bean and musk—deeply masculine and lingering.

Scent Story

Lapidus is unapologetically dramatic and full-bodied—like stepping into an atmosphere of decadence and intensity. The fruity-citrus opening grabs attention, but it’s the transition into woody incenses, resinous honey and tobacco that give this scent its power. The florals, woods, and moss in the base make it feel vintage yet still potent in modern wear. This fragrance doesn’t whisper; it announces presence and confidence.

Wearability & Lifestyle

Best suited for evening wear or cool-to-cold weather—fall, winter, and crisp nights. Ideal for formal or semi-formal settings, nights out, or occasions when you want to stand out. Because of its strong projection and lasting power, a little goes a long way. Pairs well with heavier fabrics, dark outfits, leather, and styles with character.
