The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Boadicea the Victorious, Tiangou is a warm and spicy oriental fragrance created by perfumer Christian Provenzano. This composition opens with rum and cinnamon, drawing you into a rich blend of cardamom and cloves that are then softened by the subtle warmth of saffron and damask rose. The heart introduces heliotrope and geranium, adding a floral complexity before settling into a base of tobacco, leather, vanilla, patchouli, castoreum, moss, and musk — creating an enveloping atmosphere of depth and character.
Given its strong sillage and eternal longevity, one or two sprays are sufficient to make an impact. Allow it to develop on your skin for at least ten minutes before venturing out — this allows the initial spicy top notes to blend with the deeper base notes.
