The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vetiver Imperiale by FOUR Boadicea the Victorious is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2015. Perfumer Christian Provenzano crafted this scent, blending vibrant citrus notes with earthy vetiver to create an aromatic composition that is both fresh and spicy. The bergamot and mandarin orange open with a bright zestiness, while the black pepper adds a subtle heat. As it evolves, patchouli and vetiver introduce a rich earthiness, grounded by atlas cedar and amber for a warm finish.

How to wear it

Apply Vetiver Imperiale in a well-ventilated area to allow the top notes to fully settle. The bergamot and mandarin orange are bright but fleeting, so layering it over a light moisturizer can help anchor the composition closer to your skin for a more lasting effect.
