Boadicea the Victorious Notorious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Notorious opens with Mandarin, Ylang-Ylang, Cinnamon, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Rose, Castoreum, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Notorious carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Notorious is a bold, complex beast of a fragrance. It's not for the faint-hearted, nor is it a blind buy, but those who 'get' it absolutely swear by its smoky, leathery depth. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

About

Explosions of warm, piquant cinnamon and saffron kick things off, soon joined by the rich, dark intrigue of chocolate and a powerful, almost animalic castoreum. As it settles, a rugged leather takes the stage, intertwined with earthy patchouli, vetiver, and robust woody notes of cedar and sandalwood, all underscored by a smoky incense. It's a journey from spicy sweetness to a deep, resonant leathery dry down.
