Bodacious by Boadicea The Victorious is a boozy, cherry-forward scent built for cold nights. Cherry and cognac open it rich and a little heady, sharpened by almond and clove. Heliotrope, jasmine sambac and Moroccan rose soften the heart without losing the sweetness, and tobacco settles underneath, giving the whole thing a warm, smoky close. Launched in 2021, it wears as unisex, at home on anyone who wants a gourmand scent with some grip to it rather than pure sugar. Wearers reach for it in winter and autumn, choosing it for night and evening wear. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, with eternal not far behind. Most wearers call the sillage strong. A 3ml decant is plenty to see if the cherry-and-tobacco combination is yours.

The community verdict
A boozy cherry gourmand, Bodacious pairs cherry and cognac with almond before tobacco comes through. Long-lasting leads, with exceptionally long-lasting next, and most find its projection strong. Its rich style suits winter nights; autumn and evenings work too.

The house
More from Boadicea The Victorious
Boadicea The Victorious is an independent British niche house, launched in 2008 and named after the warrior queen Boadicea. Its perfumes are warm, spiced and resinous: amber, labdanum, patchouli and oud form the core, with saffron, leather and guaiac wood adding weight. Blue Sapphire is the place to start, aromatic herbs over oud. Valiant is brighter, citrus and white flowers on wood, and Bodacious turns sweet with cherry and warm spice. Christian Provenzano is the perfumer credited on the range here. Most of the line is unisex, and a few lean masculine.
