by Boadicea the Victorious
Imperial by Boadicea the Victorious is a rich, unisex fragrance that balances woody, amber, leather, and oud accords with a prominent floral heart of jasmine, rose, and geranium. The opening features fresh, spicy lavender and angelica, which gradually gives way to a warm, balsamic base of patchouli, labdanum, sandalwood, and guaiac wood. The scent unfolds with subtle sweetness and resinous depth, creating a refined, sophisticated aura that feels both regal and wearable. It presents a strong, long-lasting presence with moderate-to-strong projection and excellent longevity, making it ideal for evening wear and cooler months. Many note its elegant complexity and liken it to a premium, structured oud fragrance such as Creed Royal Oud or Tom Ford Oud Wood, though with more floral nuance and less gourmand sweetness. The harmonious blend of woods, amber, and soft musk ensures it remains approachable and classy across different skin types.
