Boadicea the Victorious Nefarious is an Eau de Parfum. Nefarious opens with Saffron and Peach, and settles into a heart of Orange, Neroli, and Rose. Boadicea the Victorious's Nefarious carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Prepare for a proper debate with Nefarious; it's either an absolute game-changer for fruity oud lovers or a massively overpriced clone of Guerlain's Santal Royal. Expect compliments, but question the originality and value for money.

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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

Nefarious kicks off with a juicy, bright burst of peach and saffron, quickly joined by the zest of orange and neroli, softened by a rich, jammy rose. As it settles, a prominent, smoky oud emerges, intertwined with warm amber and a powdery sweetness, finishing with a creamy sandalwood musk. It’s a bold composition of fruit and woods, balanced with floral heart notes.
