Valiant by Boadicea The Victorious is a bright, structured floral, released in 2013 and worn by men and women alike. It opens with ylang-ylang, petitgrain, mandarin orange, orange and grapefruit, citrus with a green edge. Orange blossom, orris, cherry blossom, neroli and Indian jasmine make up the heart, soft and powdery rather than sharp. Vanilla, tonka bean, amber and patchouli are the base notes, leaning woody and warm instead of sugary. Voters choose it mostly in spring, a little more by day than in the evening, and it is a natural going-out scent. Wear it on a bright spring afternoon or a night out when you want flowers with some backbone. In the community vote, longevity leans long-lasting and sillage leans strong, so expect it to make itself known in a room. A 10ml decant gives you a whole season of testing before you pick the bottle.
