Boadicea the Victorious 2012 EDP

U ££££ Acquired

Pride

Boadicea the Victorious Pride is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. Pride opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Patchouli. Boadicea the Victorious's Pride carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a bit divisive, but if you're after a sophisticated, amber-driven scent with a surprising fruitiness, Pride delivers. Some say it's an Iris bomb, others praise its complexity. Don't expect huge projection, but it certainly smells expensive.

About

Pride opens with a crisp, slightly tart green apple and zesty bergamot, spiced up with cardamom and pink pepper. The heart softens into a powdery blend of orris and heliotrope, underpinned by delicate rose and jasmine. As it dries, a rich amber and vanilla embrace a smooth leather, earthy patchouli, and musky depth, with a hint of red fruit lingering throughout. It's a complex, evolving fragrance that feels luxurious from start to finish.
