Mayfair

by Christian Provenzano

Boadicea the Victorious Mayfair is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Christian Provenzano. Mayfair opens with Birch, Beeswax, Clove, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Leather, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Civet. Boadicea the Victorious's Mayfair carries an Acquired verdict, a animalic-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising beast. Mayfair is a dirty, woody, and powerfully animalic scent that some crave like illicit pleasure, while others find it simply overwhelming. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly obsessed.

Given its overwhelming animalic notes and potent sillage, Mayfair is completely inappropriate for the office or casual day wear. It's a statement fragrance best reserved for nights out, intimate dates, or formal events where you want to make a lasting, provocative impression. Many reviewers also suggest wearing it in cooler weather due to its warmth and intensity.

About

Mayfair opens with an immediate hit of potent civet, a raw, primal animalic note mingling with the sticky sweetness of beeswax and a spicy kick from cardamom and clove. As it deepens, a rich, rugged leather emerges, supported by smoky birch and the subtle floralcy of rose and jasmine. The dry down retains that signature animalic warmth, underscored by a woody, musky base that lingers with sensual intensity.
