Boadicea the Victorious Hooked is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Hooked opens with Marigold, Sage, Artemisia, and Eucalyptus, settles into a heart of Thyme, Cashmeran, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Boadicea the Victorious's Hooked carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly unique scent, Hooked isn't for everyone, but those it 'hooks' are utterly captivated. It's an earthy, herbaceous dream, evoking wild meadows and ancient forests. Some found it too linear and not worth the niche price tag, but for others, it's a deeply personal, calming artifact, a treasured escape from the everyday.

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.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine wandering through a sun-drenched, herb-filled meadow leading into a primeval forest. Hooked opens with a cool, camphoraceous blast of eucalyptus, softened by the green, slightly bitter nuances of marigold and artemisia. As it settles, a sophisticated, almost creamy cashmeran emerges, grounding the herbal freshness. The dry down is a deeply woody, mossy embrace of patchouli, cedar, and oakmoss, with a subtle amber warmth, leaving a trail that's both natural and alluring.
