by Boadicea the Victorious
Tiger by Boadicea the Victorious presents a refined yet unmistakably derivative take on Bvlgari's Tygar, featuring a bright citrus opening dominated by bergamot, grapefruit, and ginger, which evolves into a smooth, musky-woody base with ambergris, patchouli, and sandalwood. The scent is well-blended and long-lasting, with moderate sillage and a dry-down that clings close to the skin, delivering a clean, slightly sweet, and faintly green profile. While some find the ambergris and patchouli notes distinctive and complex, many perceive it as a costly clone of Tygar, lacking originality despite its superior concentration and presentation. It suits the spring and summer seasons best, with most wearers opting for daytime use. The perfume's value is heavily debated, with many perceiving it as overpriced, particularly given its reliance on well-known fragrance formulas. Nonetheless, its elegant bottle and accessible, sophisticated wear make it appealing to those who appreciate premium craftsmanship and casual luxury.
