Boadicea the Victorious Complex 2020 opens with an aggressive surge of bruised sage and bitter basil before setting into a dense wall of raw leather and heavy oud. John Stephen built this composition around an earthy core of olibanum incense and dry violet leaf. It projects aggressively from skin during damp autumn evenings and cold winter nights, throwing a dark, herbal cloud that lasts past twelve hours. The scent feels industrial and gothic rather than sweet or accommodating. Thick musk and smoky agarwood anchor the base, giving the herbal top notes a heavy, resinous weight that lingers on coats for days.
