The True Love Of The Queen
You somehow stumble across the bottle of Legend automatically when looking through the bottle pictures of the brand. It's also on the home page of the perfume house. No other bottle has a bust like a crown. No other fragrance is called Legend and should stand more for Queen Boudicca.
A strong woman who stood up for her homeland, her family, her people and above all against oppression. A woman who demanded equal rights, recognition and in return only spotted and experienced violence against herself, her daughters and her people from the Roman conquerors. A guerrilla queen who took revenge with such brutality as she herself had felt. And so that their place in history would be claimed and taken forever.
What's a warrior queen's scent supposed to be like? Certainly not floral-gourmandig. Life was rough. The war has always been. The land and the people didn't smell like flowers. So neither is her queen.
It is the ubiquitous violets that grew throughout Britain that Boadicea the Victorious likes to mix with woody-smoky oud and musk. An unsweet, almost rugged DNA. In addition, there is an earthiness that gives the scent an impression of "after the rain". Wet, fertile soil. Maybe it's also been rumpled by the fight. Something similar can also be found at Elaborate.
But somehow BtV manages to create an aura of dark, reinforced leather. Like worn armour. Battle tanned. Forged to the body of its wearer in battle. This is probably also due to the oud in combination with the violets, which constantly contribute this chord over the entire course of the fragrance. The scent never comes up with big leaps or even animal notes. It even remains very constant with moderate sillage and high durability. Floral aspects, in the sense of a rose oud, are not to be feared.
Legend is a very self-confident fragrance, which I would call leathery-spicy-smoky.
This Boadicea gives its wearers above all an honest picture of the rugged beauty of a country with history. Joined in the portrait of a strong woman who stood up for what she loved.
Family. Home. Honor. Legacy.
That's her scent.
