Energizer
by Boadicea the Victorious
Energizer by Boadicea the Victorious is a bright, clean citrus fragrance with a prominent green herbal character and a slight soapy vetiver dry down. The opening bursts with grapefruit, lime, bergamot, and petitgrain, delivering an intense yet surprisingly refined burst of tart citrus that feels both zingy and aromatic. After a few minutes, the top notes settle into a crystalline, fresh accord featuring mandarin and subtle musk, then evolves into a clean, earthy vetiver base with a mild saltiness. The scent is markedly unisex and most suited to warm, sunny days — especially summer. Longevity is moderate to long, with noticeable wear past eight hours. It has a moderate to strong sillage initially, but the projection drops close to the skin after the initial phase, making it intimate and discreet once settled.
