Pioneer

Boadicea the Victorious Pioneer is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Pioneer opens with Bergamot and Orange, settles into a heart of Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Boadicea the Victorious's Pioneer carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive woody citrus for those who appreciate a dry, bitter, and rugged scent. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something bold and earthy, this could be your unique signature.

About

Pioneer opens with a sharp, almost bitter citrus burst of bergamot and orange peel, far from juicy. This quickly gives way to a verdant, resinous heart dominated by galbanum, lending an unmistakably green and earthy character. The dry-down settles into a robust, dry woody base, with prominent cedar and a subtle, dusty oud note, underscored by the balmy warmth of labdanum, creating an elegant, masculine-leaning finish.
