Boadicea the Victorious Heroine EDP

Description

Heroine is Boadicea the Victorious's floral-fruity eau de parfum for women, released in 2019.

Blackcurrant, mandarin and dewberry open bright and juicy, heliotrope, mimosa, jasmine, rose and violet build a powdery floral heart, and it settles into vanilla sugar, iris, sandalwood and tonka bean. Fragrantica reviewers praise the violet-jasmine-rose combination and the soft, powdery musk, with several calling it a clean, sophisticated take on a fruity floral.

Scent Character

• Floral: 35% (heliotrope, jasmine, rose, violet)
• Sweet: 26% (vanilla sugar, tonka bean)
• Woody: 21% (sandalwood)
• Fresh: 18% (blackcurrant, mandarin)

Translation: a powdery violet-and-jasmine floral over a soft vanilla-sandalwood base, a classic fruity-floral structure rather than anything experimental.

Performance

Longevity: Mixed in practice, worth knowing upfront. It's built as a moderate, close-to-skin floral, and while some wearers get a comfortable half-day, others report it fading within an hour or two. At this price, that variability is the honest expectation to set, not the best case.

Sillage: Soft and close to the skin throughout.
