Boadicea the Victorious Bodacious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Christian Provenzano. Bodacious opens with Cognac, Clove, Almond, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Boadicea the Victorious's Bodacious carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a grown-up cherry bomb, leaving its expensive rivals in the dust. Some say it's identical to Lost Cherry, but with actual performance; others call it a unique masterpiece. Either way, it's a divisive delight.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong performance and rich, sweet, boozy accords, Bodacious isn't shy, making it less suitable for a confined office setting. It truly shines for dates and evening events where its luxurious and seductive character can be fully appreciated. The casual score is moderate as some may find it too much for everyday wear.

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.

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Bodacious opens with a decadent burst of boozy cherry and almond, softened by a hint of spice from the clove. The heart introduces a subtle floral warmth with rose and heliotrope, preventing it from becoming cloying. It settles into a rich, creamy base of vanilla and tonka, with earthy vetiver and a distinct tobacco note adding sophisticated depth.
