Boadicea the Victorious Legend is a Parfum launched in 2014, created by Christian Provenzano. Legend opens with Mandarin, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Coriander, and settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Violet. Boadicea the Victorious's Legend carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Legend is a divisive, high-concept iris-oud blend that some find utterly masterful and opulent, a perfume that tells a story. Others, however, dismiss it as overpriced and unoriginal, making it a true love-it-or-hate-it experience.

About

Legend opens with a clean, slightly green shimmer of neroli and mandarin, quickly giving way to a rich, powdery heart of orris and violet. A lush bouquet of jasmine, rose, and lily of the valley adds floral depth, before settling into a warm, woody base. Oud and sandalwood provide an earthy, luxurious grounding, softened by sweet vanilla and creamy amber.
