Boadicea the Victorious Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by John Stephen. Intense opens with Fruity, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Honey. Boadicea the Victorious's Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

This is a seriously lush, honeyed white floral that manages to be both deeply sweet and beautifully balanced. It's a masterpiece for honey lovers, divisive for those who find potent sweetness cloying, but generally hailed for its exquisite blending and undeniable presence.
