Boadicea the Victorious (2015)

an aromatic citrus flavored slightly barnyard oud - the juxtaposition and play of grapefruit against a darker more sinister background brings to mind that kind of structure in Sulphur/Kinski/Lampblack...sense a feeling of warmth emanating from the nice dark citrus fruit flavored oud...dry feeling and powdery...not in smell, but in feel , like sawdust...a dark dusty rose is at the center of things, yet does not take over the fragrance...some aromatic spiciness...lots of subtle action and interplay of notes... discreet complexity...smells of a very good quality of ingredients...this is kinda another entry into the rose/oud world , but one with a a lot of little nuances going on and a lot of elegance and style...I know that Boadicea is heftily priced , but they have a lot of great fragrances and I feel like just for that reason the sometimes seem to get passed by...never see very many SOTD for them...but , IMHO , they have a ton of scents that are at least worth trying a sample of...bottom line - truly intoxicating spicy/flower accented rose/oud....
