Back to Paradise

by Christian Provenzano

Boadicea the Victorious Back to Paradise is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Christian Provenzano. Back to Paradise opens with Violet Leaf, Pineapple, Ylang-Ylang, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Amber, and Benzoin. Boadicea the Victorious's Back to Paradise carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Many find it an elegant, luxurious floral with impressive longevity, living up to its name. Others can't get past a "soap" or "shaving foam" vibe, finding it cloying and monotonous. Definitely try before you buy.

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, often lasting 12-15 hours, make it a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its elegant floral and sweet character, described by many as versatile and luxurious, makes it excellent for dates or special formal events, despite some finding it too heavy for everyday casual wear.

About

Back to Paradise opens with a vibrant, tropical-edged blend of juicy pineapple and tart bergamot, softened by green violet leaf and the creamy exoticism of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of jasmine, magnolia, and rose, sweetened by an indulgent honey accord. The base grounds the composition with warm amber, creamy vanilla, and benzoin, supported by smooth sandalwood and a soft musk, creating a luxurious and enduring finish.
