The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Spirit by Boadicea the Victorious, launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, is a composition that captures the essence of British heritage through its intricate blend of green and woody accords. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst from black currant leaf and galbanum, providing an invigorating freshness that transitions seamlessly into the heart notes of ylang-ylang, tuberose, orange blossom, hyacinth, jasmine, and rose. These florals are complemented by earthy undertones of oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, musk, and amber, creating a warm and enveloping base that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, one generous spray is sufficient to make an impact. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points and let it settle before venturing out.
