Boadicea the Victorious Sterling is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Sterling opens with Tea, settles into a heart of Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Vanilla. Boadicea the Victorious's Sterling carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Oh dear. This isn't just polarising, it's pretty much universally despised. Prepare for a full-on green assault that a creamy base can't save. Tread very, very carefully.

Best Occasions

Given the 'beast' performance and the overwhelming negativity in reviews, this scent would be inappropriate for any occasion. It’s far too strong and divisive to be in a confined space like an office or on a date, and its challenging profile doesn't suit casual wear or formal events either.

About

Sterling opens with a sharp, almost aggressive green tea note, quickly joined by an intense, leafy galbanum that screams 'green' at the top of its lungs. As the initial shock subsides, a leathery undercurrent emerges, softened slightly by a touch of musk and a hint of vanilla, but it’s still predominantly a challenging green beast.
