The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Boadicea the Victorious, Zayed 2018 is a gender-neutral fragrance that embodies the brand's quintessentially British heritage and values. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of mandarin orange and bergamot, which give way to a heart of Turkish rose and violet, adding a touch of floral elegance. The base notes of sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli create a warm and woody backdrop, while saffron and hedione add subtle spiciness and a powdery depth.
Zayed 2018 has a long-lasting base that blooms gradually over time. One or two sprays on pulse points will ensure the fragrance develops fully throughout the day without overpowering. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be enjoyed year-round, particularly in settings where a touch of understated elegance is desired.
