Spirit

by Christian Provenzano

Boadicea the Victorious Spirit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Christian Provenzano. Spirit opens with Ylang-Ylang, Galbanum, Blackcurrant Leaf, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Hyacinth, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk. Boadicea the Victorious's Spirit carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper grown-up scent, demanding a certain gravitas from its wearer. Expect full-on green and white floral opulence, with some feeling it's a bit much after a few hours. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its complex, classic charm.

Given its significant projection and long-lasting nature, Spirit is best reserved for formal occasions where it can truly shine without overpowering. Its bold character makes it less suitable for casual wear or the office, but it would certainly make an impression on a date.

About

Spirit opens with a bold, almost overwhelming blast of green, thanks to galbanum and blackcurrant leaf, intertwined with the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. Soon, an intoxicating bouquet of white florals takes centre stage - think jasmine, tuberose, and orange blossom, complemented by a soft rose. The dry down settles into a sophisticated base of earthy oakmoss and patchouli, warmed by amber and a hint of vanilla, all grounded by smooth sandalwood and musk.
