The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Gentle by Boadicea the Victorious is a floral woody musk fragrance that captures the essence of understated elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and grapefruit, which cut through the sweetness with a sharp freshness. As it evolves, pink pepper adds a fresh spicy touch, while violet and magnolia create an airy floral heart. The base is anchored by vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, and tonka bean, providing a warm, comforting finish that grounds the scent in subtle complexity.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The bright top notes will fade within an hour, so allow it time to settle into its heart and base notes for full effect. This scent reads better close to skin than across the room.
