Boadicea the Victorious Violaceous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Violaceous opens with Cypress, Juniper, Rosemary, and Basil, settles into a heart of Oregano, Birch, Tomato Leaf, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Boadicea the Victorious's Violaceous carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one is a divisive herbaceous riot, all green spikiness upfront with a surprising, almost cannabis-like woody drydown. Don't expect a vanilla hug; it's a bold, aromatic statement for those who dare to be different.

About

Violaceous opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive blast of aromatic herbs - think sharp basil and juniper, underscored by the green bite of cypress and rosemary. This invigorating herbal volley quickly evolves into a unique heart, dominated by a distinctive tomato leaf and earthy oregano, with a hint of birch. It eventually settles into a muted woody base where the promised leather and vanilla are subtle rather than dominant, leaving a lingering, slightly dry and surprising green-woody trail.
