Bodacious Boadicea the Victorious 2021
1
One of my top favorite decadent gourmands
This gem was recommended to me by a fragrance friend who kindly sent me a sample. I had been searching for a cherry gourmand akin to Lost Cherry by Tom Ford, albeit without the exorbitant price tag and lackluster performance. There are similarities between Bodacious and Lost Cherry, however I don't find them remotely interchangeable. Lost Cherry features a much more vibrant and delicious cherry opening that fades far too fast.
On the other hand, Bodacious immediately hits your nose with its intense, boozy, and syrupy cherry amaretto aroma. Its rich nuttiness goes beyond just almonds, and veers dangerously close to peanut butter territory. Thankfully, that note tempers over time until things feel more harmonious.
This warm and delicious dry-down period is extremely long lasting. The whiffs I catch off my shirt the next day are intoxicating. Such potency and richness make this difficult to wear daily or during warm weather. For that reason, I only recommend it if you can handle strong gourmand aromas and live in a suitable climate.
