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.
