The story behind the bottle.
Chelsea by Boadicea the Victorious, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, is a Woody fragrance that seamlessly blends aromatic freshness with warm spiciness. The composition opens with vetiver and raspberry, creating an intriguing contrast between earthy greenness and sweet fruitiness. As it evolves, agarwood (oud) and patchouli add depth and warmth, while cypriol oil and cedar anchor the scent in a richly textured base that lingers comfortably on the skin.
Chelsea’s aromatic top notes are fleeting, so apply it in layers for a more lasting effect. The scent develops fully over the first hour, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want something that evolves throughout the day.
