Boadicea the Victorious Elite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Elite opens with Citrus, Green Notes, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Red Wine, Neroli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Boadicea the Victorious's Elite carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A fresh, fruity, and delicately green concoction. Despite the complex notes, it's a surprisingly simple and 'flirty' scent that’s perfect for spring and summer, eschewing the brand's usual weighty rose-oud combo. Easy to wear and widely appealing.

Scent Profile

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.

About

Elite by Boadicea the Victorious opens with a burst of bright citrus and fresh green notes, immediately setting a vibrant, airy tone. The heart unfurls with a delicate bouquet of freesia, jasmine, and rose, softened by the unexpected inclusion of red wine and a hint of warm cinnamon. It settles into a luscious base where juicy raspberry marries smooth sandalwood and earthy patchouli, grounded by a subtle amber warmth that lingers gently.
