Sophisticated Spicy Woody Elegance: Lubin Upper Ten Eau de Parfum
Experience the bold confidence of success embodied in Lubin Upper Ten, a 2015 launch from the storied Parisian house (masculine-leaning unisex, spicy woody, charismatic refinement)—expertly created by Thomas Fontaine as a tribute to ambition and vitality, fusing vibrant citrus-spice freshness with warm cinnamon-peach sweetness, leathery nuances, and smooth woody depth. Admired as a polished, modern gentleman's scent with dominant cinnamon spiciness, peach fruity juiciness, and sandalwood creamy smoothness, it's celebrated for its energetic yet classy vibe—blending peppery kick with fruity warmth, addictive sophistication, and powerful presence in a contemporary oriental-woody framework.
This dynamic elixir kicks off with a fiery, aromatic burst of pink pepper, saffron, juniper berries, and bergamot for crisp, spicy-citrus energy that's invigorating and distinctive, then develops into a heart of cardamom, cinnamon, peach, orange blossom, and geranium for rich, spicy-fruity-floral layers that feel luxurious and alive, finally grounding in a base of cedar, sandalwood, leather, and patchouli for velvety, woody-leathery smoothness with subtle earthy warmth and enduring trail. It’s spicy yet fruity, fresh yet woody, bold yet refined—like pink pepper-saffron crackle over cinnamon-peach sweetness, wrapped in cedar-sandalwood leather that lingers as a charismatic, commanding aura.
It ignites with pink pepper-saffron-juniper—sharp, spicy, and strikingly vibrant with citrusy lift. The heart unveils cinnamon and peach with cardamom-geranium accents, forming a warm, fruity-spicy core that’s opulent and engaging. It dries down to a smooth, persistent cedar-sandalwood-leather finish—creamy, woody, and subtly leathery—delivering a confident, captivating sillage that’s masculine, polished, and irresistibly magnetic.

Frequently praised as a highlight in Lubin's lineup—cinnamon-spicy dominant, peach-fruity iconic, sandalwood-woody standout, with a strikingly energetic yet sophisticated vibe—Upper Ten is described as uniting a peppery-citrus opening, spicy-peach heart, and creamy-woody-leather base (often called a "spicy peach power scent," refined yet assertive, with vibrant lift and smooth depth). It’s a versatile fall/winter favorite (ideal for cooler seasons daytime professionalism or evening charisma, perfect from boardroom to nightlife) that draws consistent compliments for its strong projection, enveloping sillage, and magnetic appeal.
Performance as an Eau de Parfum: 8-12+ hours longevity (evolves dynamically from spicy-citrus blast to woody-leather skin scent), strong projection (bold yet controlled trail), and excellent staying power—shifting seamlessly into a lingering, sensual embrace. Admirers rave about its premium-quality spices, masterful fruity-woody balance, and luxurious feel-good energy, though some note the bold cinnamon intensity—ideal for those seeking assertive spicy scents with fruity sweetness and woody refinement.
