Hanuman

Boadicea the Victorious Hanuman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Hanuman opens with Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Magnolia, Cyclamen, and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar. Boadicea the Victorious's Hanuman carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive topic: is it a genius elevation of a popular DNA, or just an overpriced copy? If you're after a sophisticated, longer-lasting version of Bal d'Afrique and money's no object, Hanuman could be your signature scent. Otherwise, you might find it a pricey disappointment.

About

Opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of lemon, bergamot, and blackcurrant, quickly softened by a delicate, velvety floral heart. Orange blossom, osmanthus, and magnolia create a smooth, almost powdery elegance. The dry-down settles into a comforting base of vetiver, creamy sandalwood, and musk, offering a refined woodiness that lingers beautifully.
