The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Boadicea the Victorious and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, Pure Narcotic is a floral woody musk fragrance that balances crisp aromatic freshness with warm, enveloping notes. The composition opens with datura and fig leaf, creating a green, slightly spicy aroma that transitions into a heart of jasmine, osmanthus, and Moroccan rose. The base notes of tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, and bourbon vanilla provide depth and warmth, making Pure Narcotic both complex and comforting.
Pure Narcotic has a rich base that takes time to bloom fully on skin. Apply it lightly in the morning for a fragrance that evolves throughout the day, starting fresh and becoming warmer as the hours pass.
