Ardent

by Christian Provenzano

Boadicea the Victorious Ardent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. The fragrance opens with Rose, Carrot Seeds, Saffron, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Beeswax, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Ardent: Acquired

Ardent is a smooth, sophisticated rose and beeswax number, a clear step up from TF Noir de Noir for many. Its elegant ambered-rose profile and softer projection make it more versatile, though some feel the performance could be bolder for the price.

About

Ardent opens with a whisper of rose and warm saffron, an inviting start. The heart unfurls into a creamy, honeyed rose, thanks to the prominent beeswax and a hint of jasmine, rounding out any sharp edges. It settles onto a luxurious base of patchouli and vanilla, with the merest suggestion of woods, creating a refined and alluring warmth that lingers beautifully.
