Defender

Boadicea the Victorious draws its inspiration and identity from the legendary warrior Boadicea, queen of the Iceni tribe who rebelled against the Roman army and rallied other tribes around her to protect their land and customs. Boadicea was a warrior queen who still plays a hugely symbolic role in British history, an almost mythological guardian of charisma and courage.

Boadicea is a symbol of rebellion, strength and power, a true defender of her realm. Defender is the beautiful incarnation of the biography of power. Layers of imaginatively composed notes, chords and technologies by Kamila Lelakova, the first female nose for Boadicea the Victorious, have produced a bold perfume of tenacity and emotional impact.

Defender is an extraordinary composition. The fragrance opens with a rebellious scream of spicy ginger, grapefruit and unexpected swirls of dark licorice, honeyed cognac mixed with a captivating compote of red berries and hints of cherry. There is a metallic tinge to the opening sequence, adrenaline and silver pulsing to activate our senses and memories before merging into an intense language of tempered bombast.
