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, Iris, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Patchouli. Boadicea the Victorious's Pride carries a Statement verdict, a floral-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.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

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.
