Lost Tribe Maui Extrait

Description

Maui is a citrus chypre built to outlast its own brightness — blood orange, yuzu and bergamot over a tropical floral heart anchored by real Papua and Bengkulu oud, oakmoss and frankincense. Released in 2026 by Lost Tribe and composed by Matthew Schmuelian and Rajesh Balkrishnan, it was created from a customer’s request for a tropical citrus that actually lasts. Every ingredient is natural and sustainably sourced. The top is a generous stack of fourteen cold-pressed citrus notes, the heart is lush with tuberose, frangipani, blue lotus and champaca, and the base grounds it all in two varieties of wild-harvested oud, oakmoss and frankincense — the classic chypre structure that gives citrus staying power.

Scent Character

Bright, tropical citrus anchored by an earthy chypre base. The opening is a burst of blood orange, yuzu, bergamot and grapefruit — joyful and generous. Tuberose, frangipani and blue lotus add a lush floral middle. The real oud and oakmoss in the base keep it from vanishing the way citrus fragrances usually do. Natural, green-tinged, warm-weather chypre.

Performance

Longevity: Estimated 6–8 hours on skin. The extrait concentration and the oud-oakmoss-frankincense base give it above-average staying power for a citrus.
Sillage: Moderate. Opens bright and expansive, then settles closer to skin as the base develops.
Projection: 2–3 feet in the first hour, narrowing to arm’s length as the citrus fades and the oud takes over.

An honest note: Maui is a very new 2026 release with few documented wear reports. The chypre structure and extrait concentration suggest it will outperform typical citrus, but we are reporting what the formulation implies rather than confirmed wearer consensus.

FAQ

Does it contain real oud?
Yes. The base includes Papua Oud and Bengkulu Oud, both wild-harvested agarwood. This is not a synthetic oud accord.

Will a citrus fragrance really last?
The chypre structure (oakmoss, patchouli, labdanum) and the extrait concentration give it significantly more staying power than a typical citrus. Expect 6–8 hours rather than the 2–3 hours of a citrus cologne.

Is it men’s or women’s?
Unisex. The bright citrus and tropical florals read fresh and easy on any skin.
