The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Fortitude by Boadicea the Victorious is a fragrance that encapsulates strength and elegance through its intricate blend of white florals, citrus, woody notes, and an intriguing animalic twist. The composition opens with a vibrant mix of bergamot and black currant, which gives way to a heart of lily, gardenia, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, creating a lush and opulent floral bouquet. This is then grounded by the warmth and depth of woody notes, providing a sense of earthiness and longevity.
Given its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, Fortitude is best applied in small amounts. The floral heart develops over time, so it's ideal for layering under your jacket or applying closer to skin for a more personal effect.
