The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Boadicea the Victorious, Ambitious is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies quintessentially British heritage and lasting luxury. The composition opens with coriander and Guatemalan cardamom, bringing a warm spiciness to the forefront before giving way to Bulgarian rose and Moroccan rose in the heart. A base of siam benzoin, crystal amber, sandalowood, patchouli, tonka bean, and white musk adds depth and warmth, creating an enveloping embrace that feels both familiar and luxurious.
Apply Ambitious to pulse points for a lasting effect. The spicy top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich base notes will linger throughout the day, ensuring you are enveloped in its warmth long after the initial spritz.
