The story behind the bottle.
King of the World by Boadicea the Victorious is a fragrance that defies expectations. Launched in 2015, it marries aromatic and green elements with fresh spicy notes to create an unexpected blend of crispness and warmth. The opening of basil and fig leaf is invigorating, while black currant and tomato leaf add a surprising earthy freshness. Sage and hedione introduce a herbal complexity that transitions into the heart of jasmine and sandalwood, before settling into a mossy base of oakmoss, vetiver, musk, and amber. This composition is both modern and rooted in tradition, embodying the brand's quintessentially British heritage.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting impression. The fresh spicy top notes are most potent in the first hour, so allow it time to settle before layering with other scents. It pairs well with light outerwear during cooler months.
