Boadicea the Victorious Abraxas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Abraxas opens with Bergamot, Peach, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Boadicea the Victorious's Abraxas carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A powerhouse floral that demands attention, Abraxas is a divisive beast. If you're after indolic white flowers and creamy ylang-ylang with beastly projection, prepare to be captivated; if you're hoping for subtle dried fruit, you might be out of luck.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Abraxas burst open with a vivid, heady bouquet of white and yellow florals, dominated by opulent tuberose and lush ylang-ylang. A hint of tart peach and dried fruits attempts to peek through this floral intensity, adding a subtle gourmand edge. As it dries, a rich foundation of warm amber, creamy tonka, and earthy vetiver emerges, providing depth and a luxurious woody backdrop to the lingering floral heart. It's a complex, bold journey from start to finish.
