Boadicea the Victorious Pioneer is a unisex scent that sets a green, spicy streak over a woody, resinous and smoky base, with an animal edge.

What does Pioneer smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters place it in leisure, evening and night-out wear, with daytime and office use far behind. Its unisex build suits men and women alike.

Bergamot and orange open it brightly, and galbanum adds a sharp green note in the heart. The base of cistus, cedarwood, oud and labdanum leads, and the scent settles into a sweet, earthy, smoky warmth. Boadicea the Victorious Inquisitive and Rania J. Oud Assam have a close profile.
