Seductive

Boadicea Seductive is rather odd name for this fir tree sap intense drying down to a cedary base. If you forget about the name, the scent is outstanding - the top and middle is a beautifully natural smelling fir tree with a side dish of rosemary. This is nearly linear for a long time, gradually leading into an Atlas cedar base with some musk and patchouli. If there is jasmine in there it is hiding well from my nose. My first Boadicea the Victorious experience was with Complex (aka Burned Rotten Flesh) and I am glad that didn't scare me off trying another Boadicea perfume. I am not yet convinced that they make *great* scents, but they are at least excellent (even Complex achieves an amazingly unpleasant effect), and the bottles are gorgeous (even better in reality than they look in their pictures), each scent with one of several Celtic inspired motifs rendered in thick lustrous metal.

Wow. Not for the faint hearted. Powerful pine/fir leaps from the bottle and engulfs you. However once the pine calms down the blend of this perfume is terrific. It's sexy as hell and really unapologetically so - in your face and flamboyant. This is a fragrance of overt confidence erring on the side of arrogance - and it's made all the more compelling because of that "I don't give a ****" approach. AMAZING. Balsamic, woody, not remotely floral on my skin. More masculine than feminine but I wear it regardless. I love it. This is a fragrance that could enslave a person - both the wearer and the "sniffer". Give it a few goes, and prepare yourself to be startled!

يوماً ما كنت في احدى ضواحي بلاد الشام كانت هذي اول مرة تمطر فيها صيفاً .. ما ان خرجت الى شرفتي حتى اسرني عبيرٌ اخّاذ .. ما هذه الرائحة و من اين اتت و كيف لعطرٍ ان يملأ الدنيا بعبيره هكذا .. كانت هذه اول مرة اشتم فيها رائحة اشجار الصنوبر التي كانت تملأ الجبال والسهول .. و منذ ذلك اليوم و انا ابحث لسنوات عن تلك الرائحة ، افتش العطور حتى وجدت عطري هذا .. رائحة اشجار الصنوبر ممزوجة ببخور اللبان يا الهي كيف لي ان اصف هذا الجمال !! ام ان شدة فرحي به تكفي !! .. العطر فخم جداً اجمل مايكون في الشتاء و ليالي المطر .. الثبات جيد جداً الفوحان جيد يستحق ثمنه لمن اراد ان يتميّز

Entrancing woody floral musk composition. The perfume opens with a note of mint surrounded by resins and iris. The heart is jasmine, rosemary and a prominent fir. It settles into a synthetic musk surrounded by hints of amber, sandalwood and patchouli. Like being in a mythical forest of fairies and goblins. The only complaint is that it is a rather soft unisex fragrance with moderate sillage and longevity. Enjoy!

Sexy original perfume, I love it! Expensive smelling and unique!
