Boadicea the Victorious Ardent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. Ardent opens with Carrot Seeds, Rose, Saffron, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Beeswax, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla. Boadicea the Victorious's Ardent carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.
