Bayswater

Stunning!!! What a majestic piece of work this is, truly gorgeous juice. The nutmeg opening is a welcome top note then it gives you the hint of a rose/oud fragrance but with only the tiniest hint of rose. The oud tends to come on as it settles. It's mainly an almost gourmand, creamy type accord throughout. The resiny benzoin, sandalwood and leather combine to make a sublime drydown. Few words are needed to describe this fragrance, it flits between lots of different things I love but comes together in the end as one cohesive fragrance. Reminds me of many fragrances too but still has it's own thing going on. I love it! Minor criticism is that compared to the other 3 I've tried in this new 'Gold' collection Bayswater didn't have the mind bending longevity...but I'll let it off because it was still excellent and worthy of kings! Boadicea have yet another hit on their hands!

This is a very nice one! I'm usually very cautious of sweetened rose perfumes because they can be too femme, sweet, and/or powdery. However, Bayswater is perfect. It's pretty straightforward: ethereal rose with minty, citrusy geranium like scent profile, boozy benzoin, nutmeg, and creamy sandalwood. I think the oud and leather tone down the sweetness. What you see is what you get! Note: The first time I tried Bayswater I got poor performance. After revisiting, I'm getting great performance. At least 8 hours. Enjoy!

Beautiful spicy, rose and woodsy fragrance and unisex! If you love Tom Ford Noir Extreme style of fragrance you will appreciate this a lot. I wish it projected a little more but the longevity is fantastic.

Spicy woods with a bit of a powder undertone. Sillage moderate, longevity about 2 hours for my skin. Overall I like it, but there are others I prefer that are similar. For me, the spices and the wood need to be intensified.

Oud, roses, and topped by benzoin. The conquered notes are the woods, oud and the roses, but the benzoin are playing the illusionist role. Simple, straightforward, and quite captivating.
