The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Love Poison by Boadicea the Victorious, launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, is a complex floral fruity scent that evokes both sweetness and spiciness. The fragrance opens with vibrant red berries and caraway, creating an initial burst of freshness that contrasts beautifully with the heart notes of orange blossom, Egyptian jasmine, and Turkish rose. The base notes of brown sugar, bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, amber, musk, and labdanum add warmth and depth, making Love Poison a scent that evolves throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance liberally to allow the sweet and spicy notes to mingle effectively. The scent blooms best close to skin, so consider layering it for a more immersive experience.
