Details on Boadicea the Victorious Defender

Layers of imaginatively composed notes, accords and technologies by Kamila Lelakova, the first female perfumer for Boadicea the Victorious, has produced a bold perfume of tenacity and emotional impact. Defender opens with a rebellious shout of zesty ginger, grapefruit and unexpected swirls of dark liquorice and honeyed cognac mingled with a fascinating red berry compote and hints of kirsch.

How does Boadicea the Victorious Defender smell?

A complex composition starting with a vibrant blend of ginger, grapefruit, cherry water, and honeyed cognac. The heart reveals night-blooming jasmine and orange blossom, complemented by earthy myrrh and hay notes. The base is rich with leather, musk, red amber, and various resins including benzoin, labdanum, and Peru balsam, finished with sweet tonka bean.

Not impressive enough yet

Defender is an interesting fragrance for me, and there is certainly something about it that I like. I particularly perceive a distinct leather note, accompanied by something that almost reminds my nose of tobacco. At the same time, the fragrance develops a bit sweeter than I usually prefer. There is also a note that slightly triggers me, but which I cannot yet precisely identify. Overall, Defender by no means smells bad, but so far I am missing that special moment that makes it truly extraordinary. Especially at a price of around 600 euros, I would expect significantly more. Still, I want to analyze it further before making my final judgment. At the moment, it is interesting to me, but overall more okay than impressive.
