Honey is such a posh pure scent, so multifaceted and wealthy, that it’s a tough process to correctly translate its pure magnificence into the right fragrance essence. Although interesting, the honey be aware in perfumes can simply flip “Physician Hyde” on me and weave a sticky claustrophobic veil on my pores and skin… with this iconic picture of Monica Belluci instantly popping to thoughts.
What could be extra ancestrally sweet-sinful than honey, I ask? From the biblical promised lands of milk and honey, passing by way of the ambrosia and nectar of the gods, wiping away the tears of the Solar Gods, reaching the everlasting Yggdrasil, the enormous tree of Norse mythology, with its roots entwined within the 9 worlds, dripping honey. For me, Boadicea the Victorius Intense is THE honey I’ve been in search of in a fragrance. An ode to honey, completely composed, with an obsession to particulars bordering a Hieronymus Bosch stage, portray with aroma molecules an everlasting backyard of worldly needs.

Boadicea the Victorius Intense is all about honey, however like sins, what number of aspects and nuances it may possibly have! Rotating between the darkish facet: sensual, fetishized, typically feral and salty, different instances sharp like a sudden sweat, musky like a morning embrace; to the opposite brilliant facet of the moon: vegetal, candy, appetizingly citric, and deeply floral – that form of vegetal sweetness and depth that makes me see all of the petals and pollen of the world spun in a whirlwind. Boadicea Intense seems like an olfactory mixing palette on which, irrespective of what number of colours you combine in, the result’s at all times candy, deep and ambery – yellowed.
Boadicea the Victorious is a British model and was launched in 2009 and was created by John Stephen.
