The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Madonna by Boadicea the Victorious is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's quintessentially British elegance and incomparable quality. Created by perfumer Christian Provenzano, this scent opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord of davana and rum before transitioning into a lush heart of tuberose, jasmine sambac, and osmanthus. The base notes of ambergris, sandalwood, and patchouli ground the composition, adding warmth and depth. Madonna is a proof of Boadicea's commitment to blending tradition with lasting luxury.

How to wear it

With its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, Madonna is best applied directly to pulse points. Two sprays are sufficient for the scent to build gradually throughout the day without overpowering. It reads beautifully close to the skin, making it perfect for intimate settings or a day in the office.
