Boadicea the Victorious Lavish EDP

Description

Lavish by Boadicea the Victorious is a 2019 eau de parfum from the house's Pewter Collection, built around a lemon-bergamot opening that resolves into a rose-nutmeg heart and a vetiver-sandalwood-cedar base. Fragrantica reviewers single out the vetiver as exceptional, calling it among the best they've encountered in a fragrance.

Scent Character

• Woody: 38% (vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood)
• Fresh: 37% (lemon, bergamot)
• Spicy: 25% (nutmeg)

Translation: a citrus-forward vetiver, roughly even parts bright and woody, with none of the sweetness or florals that show up elsewhere in the range.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Bergamot, Lemon
• Heart: Rose, Nutmeg, Orange
• Base: Vetiver, Amber, Cedarwood, Sandalwood

Performance

Longevity: Good. The vetiver-cedar base gives it staying power well beyond the citrus opening.
