The story behind the bottle.
Kahwa, launched in 2021 by Boadicea the Victorious and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, is a warm spicy and woody fragrance that captures the essence of a richly aromatic coffee. The composition opens with bright cardamom, eucalyptus, and bay leaf, creating an invigorating contrast to the heart notes of neroli, jasmine sambac, and Bulgarian rose. The base notes of amber, oakmoss, cedar, Cambodian oud, and patchouli ground the fragrance in a comforting warmth that lingers throughout the day.
One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of Kahwa. The aromatic top notes are bright but short-lived, so it’s best applied close to skin where the warmth of your body can help prolong their effect. Ideal for a morning to evening transition.
