Boadicea the Victorious Delirious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Delirious opens with Citrus, Bergamot, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Datura, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Delirious carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a seriously intoxicating white floral bomb - thick, sweet, and incredibly potent. It's a statement piece, but be warned: it can be a bit 'soapy' in the wrong weather, so try before you buy.

Composition

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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on white floral, citrus and yellow floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with the rich, heady floral and sweet accords, make it too dominant for an office setting. However, its luxurious and enveloping quality is perfect for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime 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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with a bright, almost buzzing ylang-ylang and bergamot, quickly ushering in a heady, narcotic white floral heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and the distinct, viscous sweetness of datura. A subtle hint of coriander adds unexpected depth before it settles into a creamy, musky sandalwood base that lingers for ages.
