Chariot
Boadicea the Victorious (2015)

Blurb: "Chariot will make you feel emboldened as it takes you on a journey of a lifetime. Dazzling citrus and florals culminate in a base to be rivaled. A scent of spirit and defiance mirroring that of our namesake, Queen Boadicea. Upon the western edge of Westminster Bridge proudly stands the sculpture of Boadicea and Her Daughters, mounted on a scythed chariot drawn by two rearing horses. Legend tells of the Iceni queen cutting a swathe through all who stood in her way, her spear raised in a gesture of Celtic defiance. Chariot eau de perfume is imbued with that same indomitable spirit, overflowing with distinctive spices, luscious florals, fruits and riches of the forest. Take the reins and gallop into life at full tilt, ready to herald your own sparky sense of defiance."

Review: Opens sweet and floral, albeit with scant bite from the citrus and not much specificity from the rose. The base notes are likewise indistinct: Oud? Bluebell? Where? Perhaps it's called "Chariot" because Boadicea is taking us for a ride. It might make a nice soap, but only at grocery store prices.
