Glistening

Boadicea the Victorious Glistening is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Glistening opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Glistening carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This loud, unique rose bomb is a real head-turner, despite the community being utterly bewildered by the official notes. Love it or hate it, Glistening demands attention and makes a statement with its intense, captivating floral heart. A shame it's discontinued.

Given its strong projection and persistent rose, Glistening is too assertive for most office environments but makes an excellent choice for dates, formal events, or anytime you want to leave a lasting impression. Its 'loud' nature, mentioned by reviewers, boosts its suitability for evening wear and special occasions.

About

Glistening opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, immediately commanding attention. This vibrant citrus quickly makes way for the undeniable star: a bold, almost demanding Taif rose that dominates the heart. It's a rich, deep floral experience that feels both fresh and powerful, eventually settling into a creamy, comforting sandalwood base that lingers beautifully on the skin. The overall impression is a compelling blend of fresh, woody, and intensely rosy accords.
