Launched in 2008 by Boadicea the Victorious, Delicate is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of fresh, verdant landscapes. Perfumer John Stephen crafted this composition to evoke the delicate balance between floral and green notes, creating an atmosphere that feels both crisp and warm. The blend opens with grass and wildflowers before transitioning into the soft embrace of jasmine, rose, and narcissus. Woody undertones of oakmoss and sandalwood ground the scent, adding a touch of earthy warmth.

Application Tips
Apply Delicate to your pulse points for a gentle yet lasting effect. The green top notes are fleeting, so layering it over lotion can help extend its freshness. This scent reads best close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for daytime wear.
