Boadicea the Victorious Lion Heart is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Lion Heart opens with Salt and Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Boadicea the Victorious's Lion Heart carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a true beast for a fresh scent. Expect a marine-floral bomb that grabs attention and holds it for hours, even in scorching heat. If you're after a freshie with serious longevity and oomph, this is it.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Lion Heart opens with an unexpected, bold blast of salty sea air and a kick of black pepper, instantly transporting you to a rugged coastline. As it settles, a bouquet of heady rose, delicate jasmine, and spicy carnation emerges, lending a floral elegance. The dry-down grounds this aquatic freshness with earthy patchouli, warm amber, and a soft, clean musk, creating a complex and long-lasting trail that's both invigorating and sophisticated.
