The story behind the bottle.
Solar by Boadicea the Victorious was launched in 2020, offering a composition that blends bright citrus and fruity notes with rich florals and woody undertones. The fragrance opens with cassis and peach, creating a vibrant and fresh start before evolving into an aromatic heart of magnolia, Egyptian jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and rose de mai. This floral bouquet is then grounded by the warmth of musk, cashmere wood, patchouli, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla. Solar captures the essence of quintessential British elegance while maintaining a gender-neutral appeal.
Solar has a complex structure that unfolds gradually. Apply it lightly to let the citrus and fruity top notes lead before the florals and woody base take center stage. It’s best for daytime wear when its vibrant yet warm character can shine.
