Boadicea the Victorious Amethyst is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Amethyst opens with Pepper and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Amber, and dries down to a base of Leather and Vanilla. Boadicea the Victorious's Amethyst carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a gorgeous, rich amber-vanilla that's often compared to other popular gourmands, but a common complaint about its price tag and inconsistent performance means it won’t be for everyone. If you’re minted and want to smell delicious, this is it.

About

Amethyst opens with a bold, spicy kick of pepper and cinnamon, quickly enveloping you in a warm embrace. The heart unfolds into a rich, resinous amber, smooth and inviting. As it settles, a sweet vanilla interlaces with a soft, underlying leather, creating a gourmandish, almost jammy dry-down that's utterly comforting. It’s a beautifully blended scent that perfectly balances spice and sweetness.
