Greenwich Boadicea the Victorious 2013
Very helpful Review
I'm undecided...
Yesterday I unpacked the blind buy treasure (you really can't go wrong with Boadis) and after the first spray I croaked out an "oh nooo." I only smell incense... then incense, well, there's something fresh in there too. A scrutinizing look at the package insert: Nope, no incense in it. Huh?
Is that vetiver with the oud? Juniper? Yes. Black pepper? Yes, absolutely. Magnolia? Rose? Not to be found. For 10 minutes I smell like I've been hiding in the back of an old church ship all day. Only then does the incense facade fade and what remains is an improbably interesting oud-amber-pepper mix that is perceptible for hours with every movement of my arm... and it keeps changing. Sometimes with a pinch of cinnamon, sometimes vetiver... then again the warm amber prevails...
A scent that I'm still not quite sure... whether I like it and whether it can stay. Anyone looking for extraordinary, non-floral fragrances should definitely give this a try.
