The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Boadicea the Victorious launched Virago in 2019, a fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to quintessentially British elegance and incomparable quality. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from orange and pink pepper, which give way to a heart of jasmine and rose, adding a soft floral sweetness. This is complemented by an amber and vanilla base that brings warmth and depth, while patchouli and musk add grounding earthiness. Virago stands as a gender-neutral perfume that captures the essence of refined luxury.

How to wear it

Apply Virago to your pulse points for a warm, close-to-skin presence. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the base of amber and vanilla will carry through most of the day. It's best suited for daytime wear where its brightness can shine without overpowering.
