Boadicea The Victorious Defender Eau de Parfum

DEFENDER | Defender opens with a rebellious shout of zesty ginger and grapefruit, unexpected swirls of dark licorice, and honeyed cognac mingled with a fascinating red berry compote and hints of kirsch. The background for the heart note of jasmine is an alluring blend of mournful myrrh, its earthy smoke and balsamic mood mixed with a note of hay absolute used by Kamila Lelakova to hint at Boadicea’s childhood, farming wheat and barley with her family. The base of Defender radiates upwards with glazed ambers and carmine musks, smoldering birch tar, guaiac wood and the chocolate earthiness of a handsome patchouli; this is decorated with a filigree mood of rum-tinted dried fruits. Clary sage and labdanum exalt a note of leather with an herbaceous dose of salted honey. 

The resulting fragrance is a magnificent incarnation of Queen Boadicea’s enduring biography of power.
