The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Back to Paradise by Boadicea the Victorious is a floral and sweet fragrance that captures the essence of a sunlit garden. Created by perfumer Christian Provenzano in 2015, this composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and pineapple before settling into a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, and rose. The base notes of honey, amber, sandalwood, and musk provide a warm, enveloping finish that feels both luxurious and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it blooms beautifully on skin within an hour. The ozonic top notes are fleeting but fresh, so focus on the heart and base for lasting warmth.
