Boadicea the Victorious's Antedios carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a surprisingly airy floral oud. A bit of a hidden gem, it’s a lovely option for those who want a touch of elegance without overwhelming the room. Perfect for when you want to smell put-together but not overtly 'perfumed'.

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.

About

Antedios opens with a lively burst of blackcurrant and grapefruit, brightened by a hint of zesty lemongrass. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated blend of white florals - rose, jasmine, and neroli - intertwined with opulent ylang-ylang and the warm spice of clove and cinnamon. The base settles into a smooth, slightly musky embrace of oud and sandalwood, softened by vanilla and amber, with a subtle artemisia twist.
