Boadicea the Victorious Iceni is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Iceni opens with Elemi, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Carnation, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Iceni carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Iceni is a beast of a fragrance, a warm, resinous, spicy delight that's either a cosy gourmand dream or a bit much, depending on your tolerance for projection. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, yet undeniably high-quality.

About

Iceni bursts open with a balmy elemi, quickly giving way to a rich, warm spiced heart of cinnamon, clove, ginger, and nutmeg, intertwined with subtle florals. The dry down is a comforting embrace of myrrh, vanilla, and tonka bean, underpinned by an earthy, woody blend of patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood. The overall impression is a sweet, dark, and resinous aroma with hints of festive baking and deep, ancient woods.
