Boadicea the Victorious Valiant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Christian Provenzano. Valiant opens with Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Boadicea the Victorious's Valiant carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Valiant is a masterpiece of a floral amber, though it's polarising. Many rave about its luxurious blend and exceptional quality, while others find it overpriced and unoriginal, smelling of "grandma's bathroom." Worth a sniff, if only to decide which camp you're in.

About

Valiant bursts open with a sun-drenched citrus medley of grapefruit, orange, and mandarin, immediately lifted by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich white floral bouquet, where powdery orris lends a sophisticated depth to the lush jasmine, delicate orange blossom, and subtle cherry blossom. As it mellows, a warm, sensual base emerges, with creamy sandalwood, rich amber, and sweet vanilla intertwining with earthy patchouli and tonka bean, creating an exquisite and lasting embrace.
