The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015 by Boadicea the Victorious, Fortuitous is an aromatic-spicy fragrance that captures the essence of quintessential British elegance. The composition opens with a bright burst of cherry and bergamot, followed by the warm embrace of almond and coconut, creating a fresh yet sweet top accord. As it develops, the heart notes of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang add an aromatic complexity, while the base notes of sandalwood, cedar, and musk ground the scent with a woody, powdery warmth.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays is sufficient to carry Fortuitous through the day. It's best applied directly to pulse points for a more intimate experience rather than filling the room with its aroma.
