Glorious

I received this in a trade a few days ago and I'm very happy with it. I have avoided fruity fragrances in the past because they tend to lean screechy or harsh, but this is probably the smoothest fragrance I've smelt. The fruits are all blended into one big bowl and the musk and woods dance around it. I get something resinous grounding the fragrance, making it almost dark with the guiac wood and resins. But, its still very much light enough for summer. The projection is almost ephemeral. It starts off intimate but it gets stronger the more you wear this. I haven't been able to get a good mark on longevity, but I could smell it faintly on my hand after 7 hours. I do go noseblind to these kinds of scents quickly. This is a 9.5/10 in my books, its an easy reach that feels darker on cooler days and brightens up on warmer days. It doesn't choke people out and it's one of those ones that puts a big smile on my face when I smell it.

An explosion of fruit this one. A plummy, jammy mixture of fruits in the top notes instantly make me like this, I'm such a sucker for that. I love Boadicea the victorious they can do no wrong in my eyes, I've tried about 12 in their vast range of fragrances and every single one has been great. I know there must be at least some not to my taste at least but I've not come across them yet. Similar to Amouage the fragrances seem complex yet crowd pleasing especially these fruity affairs. The base is woody to my nose a smooth mixture of notes oakmoss, sandalwood, patchouli, amber and musk. I love Glorius, sure it's maybe seen as just another fruity musk fragrance and maybe a little on the feminine side to some but I think it's lovely and very wearable totally unisex to me. It's got class and complexity in my opinion and lasting strength.

I can understand why people are disappointed with this parfum, but... For me it was a blind buy, I would say - I hadn’t tried it on my skin before I’ve bought it. So the 1st time I used it, I didn’t feel nothing after 10 minutes and I thought the overviews were right. But I gave it a chance. The 2nd time it was a little bit better - I felt it slightly but for a half of the day, and my colleague gave me a compliment saying that I smelled nice. I gave a parfum around 1 month for just “becoming stronger”. And now when I use it I feel it good, and it stays with me for more than 6 hours. It’s fresh, bitter citruses, green aromatic herbs. Very clean, elegant, unisex. I use it now being in a Nordic country and it suits the snow and low temperatures. But I'm looking forward for trying it in spring and summer :)

I love reading reviews and how different people find the same scents. This one for me really is glorious. It's fruity but not too jammy and not screechy or harsh at all. For me it has great projection, It lasts a good while on me as well.. I don't like an obnoxious perfume that everyone can smell where you've been, I like scent to surround me and give me joy all day, and perhaps garner a compliment from people who walk by me, not overwhelm every space I occupy and beyond, which unfortunately is one of the downsides of scents with too much longevity and projection. I can still smell Glorious hours later on my wrist though, it's just a bit quieter after a couple of hours.

I can't believe so many dislike this one! How could you comare this to D&G's The One? This is so much more coy, so much more complex. She's only been on my skin for a few minutes, but this is truly a goddess scent. She balances wood, cardamum, fruit, sweetness and delicate florals so seamlessly, and there's some deeply resinous aspects creeping in--this is for a queen. TAKE MY MONEY. Okay, maybe I should way for dry down, lol. Update: It's still lovely, moody, the fruity-floral woman who is mature and chic. Literally going to buy a full bottle I think this is so unique and amazing.

Glorious is an apt name. The scent is felicitous and divine. Blending-wise, they somehow made the fruits not too tropical or overtly nauseating to mix with the woods so well. During the course of the scent I mainly get fruits with brilliant cedar/gauiac. P.S. the florals are no joke in this either. I'm sure this has been reformulated. I was able to snag the last 50ml at a perfume shop in Miami. The owner told me Boadicea is not producing 50ml for the American market anymore. That is why my batch has good performance as it's prob pre-reform.

Smells really good, particularly the opening raspberry cassis combo mixed with nutmeg and elemi. The base notes hit the mark too with a variety of woods, musks, and a light touch of patchouli and amber. I smelled this and thought to myself finally, a Bodicea that I like that is original (to my nose). I went about my day and in a couple hours it was pretty much gone. Bummer. Scent is great but performance sucks. ------------------------------------ Scent 8/10 Performance 3/10

Fruity, unconventional, and sexy! Glorious is my first purchase from Boadicea The Victorious and I'm looking forward to experiencing more from this house. To be honest, I'm utterly shocked that I fell for this because normally I shy away from fruity fragrances. I find some of them to be too G-rated for my tastes. Glorious on the other hand, is the perfect balance of fruits and spices. Cardamom adds warmth and depth to the fragrance, and I'm a big fan of the outcome. A+!

First impression: A pineapple that doesn't get compared to Aventus...Hallelujah! The scent itself is good but it's light and dare I say, a little boring. Into the drydown and it smells like a slightly powdery, slightly sweet, anti perfume skin scent. It's nice (when you can smell it) but you'd need to be crazy to pay full retail for this. You will forget you sprayed it on yourself after 10 minutes. Good yes, glorious no. Overpriced = definitely. Scent 6/10

Finally got this in and have been wearing it all day. No comments but a frw people smelled it from the bottle and all 3 liked it and one wanted to oreder it. Very Fruity and I can pick it up on myself for about 4 hours but after that, I cant. It is either not strong enough to go past the hour mark or....it may be cloying and others may be able to pick it up on me and I cant. I love it but to early at this time to determine it's strength.

It’s really beautiful perfume. I can’t find any powdery notes honestly. For me it’s a little bit citrusy top with raspberries and woody resin base. Can be uni sex with manly vibes. 10/10 for sure. Any season with pretty good longevity and sillage. Summer season only at lower heat or evening

This is a beautiful fragrance without the beat someone over the head quality that comes with spicy, powerful scents so frequently. I love it more and more every time I smell it. It has a cool spiciness to it that I find very appealing. I don't really get any fruit in it at all!

this is my very first taste of this House and dare i say this? this is a lot like aventus and scent of peace for Him, obviously not a clone. opening lovely cardamom, drydown is pineapple apple and blackcurrant, its long lasting, love it 10/10 for quality

AveParfume, let it brew. Glorious of those flavors that over time become richer.

Definitely getting the TF Plum Japonais vibe from this, spot on @picknenders

Also, the juice is not Red but more yellow in color.

Strange. I wonder why the color is different?

My juice is dark red and delicious!

#34 on my Fragrance Review Journey I went back and forth on this fragrance and Bodacious. They were both priced around the same. I decided to go with this as I wanted another spring/summer scent. As some others have mentioned, this is a very light fragrance. So much so, I thought I had immediately gone nose blind. This was not the case. This is a scent that does not project. It sits close to the skin. Overspraying won't help much. It has never gone on to become stronger. There is a faint smell of something fruity and mild woods in the beginning. It eventually fades into nothingness. I see votes for eternal longevity and strong or enormous sillage. No way is this my bottle. I cannot see how this is possible unless there are inconsistent batch issues. Nonetheless, I would strongly advise a sample or decant before purchasing. I got it for $150, which should be a good deal; however, the performance is lacking for me. Side note: I have Ardent and it is amazing. No issues whatsoever. Do your homework and good luck. Perhaps your experience will be magnificent... I hope so. ***Edit 5-24-26*** After further consideration, I believe this fragrance offers some unique versatility. For those instances where you don't need beast mode or any room filling fragrances, this fits that bill. You can wear this confidently to client meetings or any other intimate settings where you want to be inoffensive. After smelling this on my wife, it has certainly increased my likability of the fragrance. I would still suggest that you get a sample of it if possible.

I do love the overall well rounded fruitiness of this blend, though less convinced by a slight car tyre smell that sneaks in from somewhere in the dry down.. but at least it really is slight. I do like it very much, I still give it a good 8/10. Even so, and as much as i like it, i would still not say this is a safe blind buy - It's a top end price point so I'd advise a tester first, if only to guard against a possible costly mistake.
