The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Boadicea the Victorious, Valiant was crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano as an Oriental Floral fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus blend of mandarin orange, grapefruit, and petitgrain that gives way to a heart of ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and cherry blossom. These floral notes are enveloped in a base of vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli, creating a warm and powdery finish.
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one generous spray is sufficient. The vibrant top notes are fleeting but make way for a warm base that lasts throughout the day. Best applied to pulse points where warmth can help release the fragrance's full complexity.
