The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Boadicea the Victorious, Courageous is a fragrance that embodies quintessential British elegance and incomparable quality. The composition opens with a bright citrus note that cuts through the warm powdery heart, creating an intriguing contrast. This is further enhanced by the fresh spicy elements and animalic undertones, which add depth and complexity to the musky base notes.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so let them dry down before layering with other scents if needed. It’s ideal for cooler evenings when you want a scent that feels both fresh and warming.
