Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ardent EDP
Ardent is a smooth, sophisticated rose and beeswax number, a clear step up from TF Noir de Noir for many. Its elegant ambered-rose profile and softer projection make it more versatile, though some feel the performance could be bolder for the price.

Our Verdict - Ardour Extrait
Ardour dupes Boadicea the Victorious' Ardent, a rich saffron-oud-vanilla built for maximum warmth. The saffron opening and oud-amber heart land close to the original, though the vanilla-musk base runs sweeter and more gourmand than Boadicea's drier, more resinous finish. A cosy, accessible amber-oud for anyone drawn to the genre.
