Boadicea the Victorious 2019 EDP

U ££ Acquired

Adoration

Boadicea the Victorious Adoration is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Adoration opens with Citrus and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Date, Maple, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Pepper, Clove, and Ginger. Boadicea the Victorious's Adoration carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It starts strong, verging on aggressive, and the general consensus is 'potatoes' and 'burnt rubber' rather than 'adoration'. It's divisive, to say the least, and certainly not a safe blind buy.

Best Occasions

Given its powerful sillage and unusual character, Adoration is largely unsuitable for most occasions. Its unique scent profile would be too distracting for the office or formal events, and reviews suggest it's too 'risky' for a casual day or a date, unless you want to make a very specific, challenging impression.

About

Adoration opens with a surprisingly green and zesty shock of citrus and galbanum, quickly diving into an unusual, almost vegetal sweetness from maple and date. The heart is slightly powdery with heliotrope, but largely overshadowed by an earthy, slightly bizarre accord. The base is an aggressive, hot blend of pepper, clove, and ginger, leaving a warm, spicy trail that can lean towards the 'something burning' territory. It's a sweet, spicy, and green perfume with an undeniable edge.
