Empire by Boadicea The Victorious, composed by Christian Provenzano, is a rich fruity floral built for cooler months. Peach, pink pepper, plum, Sicilian bergamot and Sicilian mandarin open it juicy and lightly spiced. Gardenia, jasmine sambac, magnolia and May rose bloom through the heart, full and sweet rather than green. The base runs deep, with amber, patchouli, raspberry, sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver and white musk turning powdery and warm at the close. It launched in 2016 and is shared by men and women, suiting anyone who likes a fruit-laced floral with real weight behind it. Voters reach for it in winter and autumn, mostly at night and in the evening. On longevity, the vote settles on long-lasting, and sillage reads strong. A 10ml decant is enough to live with it through a run of cold-weather nights before you choose more.
