Boadicea the Victorious Joyous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Joyous opens with Saffron, settles into a heart of Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Opoponax. Boadicea the Victorious's Joyous carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This version of Joyous from Boadicea the Victorious is steeped in controversy, largely due to BTV's chaotic naming conventions. If you can get your hands on this saffron-and-myrrh concoction, you're in for a treat; however, be wary of the other 'Joyous' floating about, or you might end up with something entirely different and rather less intriguing.

About

Joyous plunges you into a luxurious depth with a robust saffron kick, weaving in threads of warm, spicy myrrh. This rich opening settles into a balsamic embrace, rounded out by creamy sandalwood and a hint of something sweet from the opoponax, all underpinned by an amber warmth. It's a mysterious, slightly metallic journey from start to finish, leaving an opulent trail.
