John Stephen crafted Divine for Boadicea the Victorious as a gender-neutral fragrance that embodies quintessentially British elegance. The composition opens with aldehydes and red berries, creating an initial freshness that transitions into a heart of jasmine and violet, adding depth and softness. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and styrax provide a warm, powdery finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
For the best experience, apply Divine to pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes before going out. The aldehydic opening is bright but short-lived, so the heart and base notes will carry you through most of the day.
