Boadicea the Victorious Piccadilly is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Christian Provenzano.

Boadicea the Victorious's Piccadilly carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Piccadilly opens with a warm, spicy punch of saffron and cinnamon, intertwined with the herbal, almost medicinal hint of chamomile and a whisper of pink pepper. The heart blooms into a dominant, rich rose, supported by the green freshness of geranium and a touch of magnolia's creamy sweetness. As it settles, a smooth base of sandalwood and cashmeran emerges, softened by a creamy vanilla and grounded by earthy cypriol and clean musk.
