A fragrance for the confident and uncompromised, Complex is a blend of resins, incense and sensuous musk.Earthy and sensuous, it is filed with herbal notes of basil and sage, which give away to raw leather and animalistic notes. It is unusual and different – violet, incense – all this contribute to this sexy perfume. 

The word complex is defined as something composed of many interconnected parts, which is a perfect description of the original Complex by Boadicea the Victorious launched in 2008. This is a wise and impeccable leather perfume, richly infused with the verdancy of sage and mysterious violet. Sage is a potent note with a long folkloric history of cleansing and meditative rituals, in libations or burning. Base notes of oud, musks and supple animalic leather provide a deeply sensual perfume that simply gets better and better as it develops on skin. The longevity, as with so many Boadicea perfumes is exceptional. In Complex, the soapy rubbed verdancy of the sage in the opening of the scent is underpinned by the forest boudoir vibe of violet and sinks into a supple smoky leather that recalls the nostalgia of gentlemen’s smoking rooms, oak panelled walls, old books, leather wingback chairs and scuffed ottomans. Wood carrying the legacy of chattering smoke through time.

Ardent by Boadicea the Victorious is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Ardent was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Christian Provenzano. Top notes are Turkish Rose, Saffron, Coriander and Carrot Seeds; middle notes are Rose, Beeswax, Jasmine and Hedione; base notes are Vanilla, Patchouli, Agarwood (Oud), Benzoin, Amber, Labdanum and Musk.  

As the name suggests, Ardent is a passionate, glowing perfume, with cindered roses and molten beeswax at its heart. Powdered roses meet storm-lashed roses and saffron. The touch of carrot and coriander in the top notes hint at a green salted iris. Ardent feels like a night rose, smouldering and voluptuous with hedione soaked jasmine imparting a sparkling whoosh of nostalgia to the longevity of the heart. It smells like a love poem, so much romance in the surging base blend of Boadicea the Victorious’ signature oud mixed with musky amber, patchouli and orchidaceous vanilla. Benzoin has a resinous aroma of honeyed almonds, air-dried tobacco and just a hint of clove. Mixed with labdanum, an earthy dirty-sweet herbaceous material extracted from a shrubby rockrose, the two notes further exalt the daring excess of roses and wax in the seductive heart of Ardent. The romantic forces at play in this most beautiful of perfumes are hard to resist and for men and women who want to wear their hearts on their skin, this is only perfume to wear.

Top notes are Geranium, Black Currant, Sichuan Pepper and Cassis; middle notes are Leather and Rose; base notes are Vetiver and Cedar. ROSE & CUIR, a fragrance of contrasts between flower and skin, by Jean-Claude Ellena.One is the queen of flowers, delicate and sensual. The other is a sleek, noble, animalic material. Where they meet, Jean-Claude Ellena works to create a perfect balance between them. Enhanced with exceptional extracts of Timut pepper and bourbon geranium, the rose appears pure, wonderfully streamlined. From its fresh notes, there gradually emerges a dark, mysterious leather blend, patinated with vetiver essence that accentuates its earthy effects.

The eau de toilette, a vertical structure built around woody notes.
"Feeling the earth, lying on the ground, gazing at the sky." Jean-Claude Ellena
Terre d’Hermès is a symbolic narrative exploring raw material and its metamorphosis. A novel that expresses the alchemical power of the elements. An eau between earth and sky. A journey imbued with strength and poetry. Woody, vegetal, mineral.

Imperial by Boadicea the Victorious is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Imperial was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Christian Provenzano. Top notes are Brazilian Rosewood, Lavender, Birch and Angelica; middle notes are Rose, Geranium, Freesia and Jasmine; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Guaiac Wood, Labdanum, Leather, Amber, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Olibanum, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Musk.

The mood of the word imperial, also a synonym for magnificent and majestic, echoes through the perfumes and nomenclature of Boadicea. Relating to and of empires, the imperial family of an emperor, imperious, meaning command and authority. 

It conjures up a certain palatial hauteur and exclusivity. Imperial has an opening salvo of sherbet woods and lavender polish on old school desks, while birch adds a silken fermented facet. 

The all-important angelica explodes across the mix imparting a medicinal vibe that surprises the senses after the voluptuous woody opening. Far from being jarring, the angelica adds an oddly comforting cleanliness and the safety of a squeaky disinfection. Angelica has been used to flavour gin forever and is a key ingredient in Chartreuse, the unique green liqueur made exclusively by Carthusian monks. 

Imperial has a similar liqueur-like pungency, sweet, spicy, herbaceous. The heart notes of rose, geranium, freesia and jasmine swell under the aegis of the opening notes, the geranium/rose duo in particular, softening the clinical boom of angelica. 

The birch develops a tarred smokiness as the substantial base begins to expand and define the drydown. The bold Boadicea oud is singed with guaiac wood, frankincense and the inky mentholic leather of Cypriol. The sticky resin of labdanum further enhances the leather while patchouli and amber varnish the fumes. The base notes are expansive and contrast rigorously with the bouquet heart of flowers and herbal astringency of the top notes. 

Imperial holds itself with a certain pomposity, such is its big impact, but it becomes beautifully accessible and moreish as the three layers of ingredients have coalesced. Imperial, perfume of the highest order

Monarch by Boadicea the Victorious is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Monarch was launched in 2015. Top notes are Red Berries, Artemisia, Black Tea, Grapefruit and Bergamot; middle notes are Cardamom, Rose, Pink Pepper, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Lily-of-the-Valley and Freesia; base notes are Leather, Agarwood (Oud), Tonka Bean, Incense, Cedar, Patchouli, Labdanum, Vanilla and Oakmoss.

As an haute collection, Boadicea the Victorious is studded with references to royalty, lineage and power. Sovereign, Jubilee, Enthrone, Defender, Majestic, Empire, Consort, Imperial and Resplendent are some examples and it all loops back to Boadicea, the Iceni warrior queen who rebelled against the Roman army 

Every perfume collection has fragrances that perhaps slip under the radar, making them somehow more rewarding and pleasurable to re-discover. Monarch is one such example. A stealthy warm and comforting scent with layers of resins, woods, oud, spices, leather, floral notes and a gorgeous opening of red ripe berries, artemisia, black tea and cypress. 

The heart flowers are a beautiful arrangement of heady roses and jasmine complimented by the fresher peppery notes of freesia and creamy lily of the valley. Lushness meets purity, exalted skilfully by pink pepper, cardamon and a whisper of cinnamon. 

Monarch was inspired by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, sadly no longer with us. Her unwavering sense of duty, fortitude and commitment to her kingdom and subjects. It is always impressive that someone as documented as the Queen was also a huge enigma. It is a near impossible feat to placate those who demand access, transparency and modernisation with die hard royalists who see her and her family as an extension of their own, projecting lives, loves and loss on a royal family that by its very nature remains inscrutable and bound to centuries of tradition. 

Music For a While by Frederic Malle is a fragrance for women and men. Music For a While was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Carlos Benaïm.

MUSIC FOR A WHILE, a lively fruity fragrance by Carlos Benaïm.

Like music, perfumery is all about finding harmony. Carlos Benaïm has created an olfactory hit with an unforgettable melody: a warm and cool combination of lavender and vanilla, both lively and sensual, feminine and masculine. Resolutely paradoxical, MUSIC FOR A WHILE plays between light and shade, from the joyous delight of pineapple to the mysterious woody character of patchouli. Part classical, part contemporary, elegant yet provocative, its sensual effect adheres to your skin, like an irresistible refrain you want to listen to on loop. Over and over.

Citrus, pineapple, lavender, vanilla, patchouli

Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle is a Floral fragrance for women and men. Carnal Flower was launched in 2005. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Ropion. Top notes are Eucalyptus, Melon, Bergamot and Galbanum; middle notes are Coconut, Tuberose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Ylang-Ylang; base notes are White Musk, Animal notes and Amber.

A mesmerising fragrance by Dominique Ropion, CARNAL FLOWER exalts the ambivalence of a natural tuberose absolute in very high concentration.

Among all the flowers, this is certainly the most fatal. The tuberose, extremely concentrated in this signature creation by Dominique Ropion, shows the full force of its seductive secret: its duality. The initial impression it leaves on the skin is one of innocence. The botanical freshness of a bouquet of flowers. It is then followed by its more animalic aspect. With emphasis from camphor and the darkness of spices, the indomitable character of the tuberose is tempered by milky notes with the soft and mellow comfort of white musk. At once respectable and challenging, CARNAL FLOWER is a flower with a thousand faces, which becomes one with its wearer... and leaves nobody indifferent.

Melon, tuberose, white musk, milky notes
