Regal
by Boadicea the Victorious
Regal by Boadicea the Victorious delivers a rich, smoky rose with saffron and amber, unfolding into a dry, woody base of patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar. The opening is airy and green with geranium and hedione, giving it a light, almost diaphanous character. The heart is dominated by rose and jasmine, softly layered with saffron and musk—an elegant, subtle progression that deepens into a warm, resinous drydown. It feels both spiritual and opulent, with a dry, slightly medicinal richness reminiscent of oud without harshness. The scent projects moderately with a long duration, making it most suitable for evening wear in autumn or winter. Its unisex character appeals to those who appreciate depth and quiet intensity in fragrance.
Pros

Cons
