The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nefarious by Boadicea the Victorious is a composition that balances rich, spicy warmth with subtle fruity sweetness and an enveloping powdery base. Opening with notes of peach and saffron, it quickly transitions into a heart of rose and orange, bringing a vibrant yet sophisticated character to the fragrance. The base layers of oud, amber, musk, and sandalwood provide depth and longevity, creating a scent that is both alluring and complex.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, a single spritz is enough to make an impression. Apply it sparingly at first, allowing the warm base notes to develop throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a large space.
