The Art of Storytelling

We all love a story; it’s ingrained in us from childhood, from fairytales to real-life heroes. As we grow, so does our interest in stories, both our own and those of others.

We become focused on writing our own story, and we’re the protagonist and the author developing our plot with every decision we make or word we say.

Our stories entwine with the tales of others, sometimes overlapping as a momentary minor character, or they become antagonists, love interests, or supporting characters.

We’re all obsessed with stories in one way or another, whether in books, tv shows, films, or the lives of others. Stories are our essence and connect us, so it’s no wonder we sway towards places and things that romanticize us with their story.

Boadicea the Victorious is a brand enriched with heritage, and with that comes stories – storytelling is in our DNA. Our brand is based on the story of our namesake, who leads an army into battle, showing qualities such as bravery, passion, and strength that we convey through timeless British artisanship.

Each of our scents has a narrative to transport the wearer into a different realm, with juices that ignite the senses and spark the imagination to create their own story.

Every fragrance we launch has a story that brings the scent to life – we do this through every detail from our bottle design, campaign visuals, and even by how we write about the perfume – showcasing its personality and evoking emotion before the fragrance has even left the bottle.

When the fragrance is spritzed, the story envelopes the wearer, the top notes as enticing as the opening of a novel, the heart is where the story develops, as complex and beautiful as the middle of a book, and the base notes are what leave a lasting impression, leaving the readers happy and satisfied or eagerly wanting the story to continue.

Every Boadicea the Victorious perfume takes you on a journey; you can be the author of that story or opt for our fragrances with a strong narrative that you can embody; in particular, the tales of these four scents are worth telling.

Knight of Love is inspired by rival knights enamored with the same woman. One is willing to betray, whilst the other intends to remain honourable, a tale with a happy ending where each knight acts with noble intentions, creating a fragrance where honor triumphs.

Astrea is inspired by the Greek goddess whose father sent her to earth to teach humans the art of kindness, yet the world becomes dangerous, and she wishes to return home. Yet her father does not heed her request and instead transforms her into a collection of stars intended to inspire man. To embody that, Astrea is a scent that ensures you shine brighter than the stars the goddess was turned into.

Gentle and Ice Twist are two fragrances that come together to tell a love story. Gentle is the delicate hopeless romantic that bursts with charm and nervous energy, evoking positive emotions through a blend of alluring notes that envelop the wearer in a romantic daydream. Whilst Ice Twist is bold and daring with the undeniable charm of a gentleman straight out of a novel. Passionate energy that intrigues and seduces, this fragrance oozes charismatic appeal. Alone these fragrances tell their individual story, but combined through fragrance layering, these two spin a romance story that literature can only dream of.
