The word decadence evokes unbridled hedonism, something ripe to the point of excess, opulent, and irresistibly epicurean. It's a concept that perfectly fits this sumptuous perfume from Boadicea the Victorious, crafted with intense and overt theatricality.
The opening is a juicy and sparkling explosion: apple and raspberry intertwine in an almost chewy and vibrant accord, enlivened by pink berries, saffron—the house's unmistakable signature—and a spicy touch of coriander. The fruit is rich, intoxicating, distilled like a fine liqueur: it recalls Calvados and Chambord, with black raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant lending depth and sensuality. It's a bright and tangy opening that continues to pulse on the skin throughout the fragrance's evolution.
A nocturnal and sophisticated heart emerges, where leather and oud blend with pink geranium and magnolia, creating an elegant and slightly provocative contrast. The composition then flows into a dark and magnetic base: a sweet and fruity Cambodian oud, wrapped in patchouli, oxidized suede, and honeyed amber that amplifies the sense of opulence.
Decadence is a powerful, uncompromising fragrance, defined by a spectacular balance of red fruits, apple, and the smokier, more sensual side of oud and saffron, so beloved by Boadicea. An intense, nocturnal fragrance, designed for those who aren't afraid of excess.
