The story behind the bottle.
Empowered by Boadicea the Victorious is a characterful fragrance that launched in 2019. It opens with an aromatic top note of incense, which softens as the floral notes of jasmine develop before warming amber anchors the scent to its base. This composition marries white florals and smoky accords with animalic undertones, creating a sense of strength and sophistication that transcends gender.
Empowered builds gradually on skin, so aim for one or two sprays to allow the incense top note to soften into the floral heart. It is best experienced close to the skin rather than in a room-filling sillage.
