Pride

by Christian Provenzano

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

Its sophisticated amber and leather profile, coupled with a moderate performance, makes it unsuitable for vigorous activities but perfect for formal events and romantic evenings. While a touch too elegant for everyday casual wear, it could work for a relaxed yet refined outing.

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.
