Boadicea the Victorious Alluring is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by John Stephen. Alluring opens with Red Berries, Fruity, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Resin, and Patchouli. Boadicea the Victorious's Alluring carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a real marmite scent. Some find its vintage, dusty plum and resinous character intoxicatingly sexy and sophisticated, while others recoil from what they perceive as 'rotting fruit' and 'medicinal' notes. Test before you commit, this isn't a safe blind buy.

About

Alluring unfurls with an earthy, ripe plum, mingling with the dark sweetness of red berries before honey and a subtle rose emerge. As it settles, woody and balsamic resins deepen the fragrance, underscored by rich patchouli and a touch of musk. It's a complex, autumnal journey from fruit to forest floor.
