The story behind the bottle.
Boadicea the Victorious, known for its distinctively British and gender-neutral approach, presents Precious as a blend of fresh and warm spices with woody undertones. The fragrance opens with the invigorating freshness of lemon and basil, seamlessly transitioning to the warmth of cloves and nutmeg. The heart is anchored by jasmine and floral notes, while the base layers in musk, patchouli, cedar, amber, and sandalwood for a rich and comforting finish. Precious embodies the brand's commitment to heritage and lasting quality without resorting to clichés.
Apply Precious sparingly to let its complex layers develop naturally. The fresh top notes are fleeting, but the warm spicy and woody base will linger throughout the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
