Boadicea the Victorious Azrak EDP
Description
Azrak, Arabic for "blue", is Boadicea the Victorious's fresher, brighter woody eau de parfum, composed by Christian Provenzano and released in 2013.
Bergamot, blackcurrant, pineapple and saffron open crisp and slightly tart, rose, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and violet build a full floral heart, and it settles into musk, real agarwood, sandalwood, amber and cedar. Fragrantica reviewers describe it as fresher than the house's usual bold richness, calling it a "blue beast" for how long and how atmospherically it performs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the oud noticeable?
It's a light touch: 6% of the accord, so it reads more like a floral-woody fragrance with depth than an oud-forward one.
Why "blue beast"?
Azrak means "blue" in Arabic, and reviewers use the nickname for how strongly and atmospherically it performs relative to expectations.
Is it fresher than typical Boadicea releases?
