Love Poison

Love Poison by Boadicea the Victorious is a remarkably dense and sweet gourmand that lingers heavily on the skin with a bold, candy-coated presence. It opens with a vivid burst of berry fruit, vanishingly fruit-sweet with hints of steamed, powdery sweetness reminiscent of dried strawberry or cotton candy. The core of the scent unfolds as a rich, gourmand cream—brown sugar, vanilla, raspberry, and sandalwood blend seamlessly into a deep, smooth base, while the amber and musk provide a resonant, enveloping foundation. This fragrance is undeniably intense, with strong sillage and an impressive longevity that exceeds expectations, though it is overwhelmingly sweet and lacks subtle development. Many find it indistinguishable from Love by Kilian, especially in its core fruity-sweet profile, resembling artificial grape, marshmallows, or the imagined scent of Fruity Pebbles cereal. It performs best in the night, when its bold, gourmand character asserts dominance without inhibition.
