Boadicea The Victorious Eau de Parfum - Imperial 100ml

The mood of the word imperial, also a synonym for magnificent and majestic, echoes through the perfumes and nomenclature of Boadicea.

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.

Angelica imparts a distinctive medicinal, swabby 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 disinfection. Angelica is a key ingredient in Chartreuse, the unique green liqueur made exclusively by Carthusian monks.

Imperial has a similar liqueur-like herbaceous sweet pungency with heart notes of rose, geranium, freesia and jasmine under the aegis of the opening notes, softening the clinical boom of angelica.

The bold Boadicea oud is singed with guaiac wood, frankincense and the inky mentholic leather of Cypriol. The sticky resin of labdanum enhances the leather while patchouli and amber varnish the fumes.

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.

Hold 15-30 cm from skin, spray, leave on.
