Harmonious
by Boadicea the Victorious
Harmonious by Boadicea the Victorious is a richly layered, unisex fragrance that evokes a luxurious, powdery-boozy elegance with strong ties to Dior Homme Parfum. It opens with a luscious blend of citrus, cognac, cardamom, and spicy accords, creating an immediate impression of bold, understated glamour. The heart centers around orris and floral notes, swirled with a soft rose and rich amber, delivering a velvety, femininely nuanced core. The dry down reveals a warm, softly leathery base with sandalwood, cashmere wood, and vanilla, adding depth and opulence. It performs exceptionally well, lasting long with a striking, moderate sillage that lingers subtly but noticeably. The fragrance has a harmonious balance of sweetness and structure, making it ideal for evening wear and formal occasions, and its exceptionally well-blended quality stands out from many niche offerings.
