The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Boadicea the Victorious, Refreshing is a gender-neutral fragrance that embodies quintessential British elegance. The composition opens with vibrant citrus and fresh spicy notes, creating an invigorating aura that cuts through any sense of monotony. As it evolves, aromatic and green accords lend a crisp freshness to the scent, while musky undertones add depth and warmth, ensuring a balanced and harmonious experience.
Apply Refreshing lightly to capture its vibrant freshness. The citrus notes are most prominent in the first hour, so layer sparingly for a balanced scent that lasts throughout the day.
