Fortitude Boadicea the Victorious, launched in 2018, is classified as a feminine fragrance, belonging to the floral family. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. Brand country — the United Kingdom, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Fortitude Boadicea the Victorious — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Fortitude evolves as a living composition, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Boadicea the Victorious is evident from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood with each one in a clear role. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High suggests confident staying power. In projection Noticeable describes the way the scent radiates.
From the first breath you sense sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Blackcurrant and Lily.
In the central layer you notice Gardenia, Jasmine and ylang-ylang carrying a silky white floral direction.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Whiteflower and Wood. The palette also extends to Floral. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
Overall Fortitude reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
