Boadicea the Victorious Love Poison is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Christian Provenzano. Love Poison opens with Caraway, Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Brown Sugar, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Love Poison carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an obscene price tag to match. If you're after a sophisticated, sweet, fruity treat and pocket depths to rival the Mariana Trench, then step right up. Otherwise, there are similar, more accessible options out there.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Imagine a vibrant bowl of red berries and sugar, spiced lightly with cinnamon and a hint of caraway, then smoothed out with a delicate white floral bouquet of jasmine and orange blossom. As it settles, creamy sandalwood, vanilla, and musk emerge, mingling with a deeper raspberry note and a touch of labdanum for a truly addictive, almost dessert-like finish.
