Boadicea the Victorious Angelic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. Angelic opens with Cardamom, Apple, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Woody Notes, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Angelic carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Some swear by its woody-amber warmth, others find it screechy and overpriced. If you're after a loud, unique statement and aren't afraid to splash the cash, give it a go.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with an unexpected sharp, green apple note, quickly tempered by the earthy spice of cardamom and herbal clary sage. As it settles, a woody heart emerges with hints of papyrus and a subtle rose, giving way to a deep, resonant base. Velvety sandalwood, rich patchouli, and warm amber create a lasting impression, rounded off by smooth musk and dry cedar. It's a complex, evolving scent.
