Bravery by Boadicea The Victorious

It is tempting to claim one must have olfactory bravado to wear this lavish floral, such is the immensity of its white floral heart of jasmine, eloquent rose and febrile white lily. However, it is impossible to resist, and it becomes scented armour worn in the arena of love and desire.  Bravery by Boadicea the Victorious exudes classicism, the chic floral structures in the beating heart echo a familiar reassuring nostalgia with ramped up Boadicea power. The head notes have a delicious mix of peppered, seared lavender and saffron announcing that generous white heart that feels like a scented sail filling with air.  The luxuriant base is overflowing with beautiful delights like mossy musks, amber, animalic whispers and a carefully positioned heliotrope note that adds a touch of powdered cherry and almonds to the final stages.  Bravery is the perfect example of how a perfumer can take familiar notes and concepts and rework them with an olfactory sleight of hand to create a bold new luscious creation.
