Boadicea the Victorious Piccadilly is a unisex scent that leans towards autumn and winter evenings and nights out, setting cinnamon and cardamom spice against the sweet floral side of rose.

What does Piccadilly smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few have voted. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and spring and summer still draw a fair share. Evenings and nights out lead, with leisure and daily wear also possible. Most voters read it as feminine, but it is a unisex perfume.

It opens with the warm spice of cinnamon and cardamom. At the heart, saffron, cypriol and Atlas cedar form a woody, resinous base. Bulgarian rose, geranium and Rosa centifolia bring the floral side forward, and the overall impression is sweet, powdery and slightly green, with a fresh touch.
