Floral · Fruity · Sweet
Boadicea the Victorious Vanquish is a unisex perfume that ties a floral and spicy character to a sweet, resinous and smoky woodiness.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, and most voters rate the longevity high, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. Its dense build suits anyone after a full-bodied scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine.
It opens with orange and citrus notes. The heart sets saffron, cumin and ginger beside jasmine, rose, iris and violet, so spice and flowers balance each other. In the base, amber, benzoin, patchouli, tobacco and oud come forward, and the scent settles into a sweet, resinous, smoky warmth. Boadicea the Victorious Violaceous and Penhaligon's Levantium have a close profile.
