Oxford
Boadicea the Victorious

A very nice fragrance that is just right for cooler summer days and nights...i get kind of a citrus barbershop fragrance or classic citrus cologne...aromatic and just a tad greenish...very wearable...awesome blend of the citrus notes...very discreet dusting of neroli and a laid back ambery muskiness...quality blending and ingredients...one of my favorite houses...

The name Oxford by Boadicea the Victorious brings to mind tradition and time honored quality but of a more conservative nature. It fits! This fragrance is very harmonious with its name. The ingredients are high quality, potent and natural but assembled into a traditional eau de cologne structure. The opening is vital alive citrus of juicy aromas of grapefruit, orange and lemon underwritten by warm neroli. Neroli fills the mid body of the fragrance and is kept vibrant with jasmine and grounded with vetiver and a clean dry white musk. I don't really detect lavender or amber which may be apart but these notes are slightly noticeable for support and depth. A Clean, crisp and sparkling Oxford perfume is the model of nicely balanced citrus cologne pumped up to perfume status.

Oxford smells like a more intense version of Villoresi Acqua di Colonia or a more sedate but quality relative of Creed Jardin d' Amalfi. This is quality fragrance all the way that is overpriced, yes, but is intended to provide a top notch experience. It delivers.
