Boadicea the Victorious - Opal

Opal by Boadicea the Victorious is an unapologetically bold and mesmerizing perfume, glittering dramatically on the skin like fire captured within stone. It embodies danger, transformation, and sensual allure — an atramental alchemy that alters and evolves uniquely with each wearer. Inspired by the hypnotic beauty of rare black opals, this fragrance evokes talismanic magic, worlds within worlds, and a sense of luxurious mystery.

The story of Opal recalls legendary jewels, like the famed 700-carat “Burning of Troy,” a black opal once gifted by Napoleon to Empress Joséphine. This legendary stone, with its crimson flashes amid dark depths, inspires the same captivating aura found within this perfume — a mythic shimmer that commands attention and seduces the senses.

The fragrance opens with a striking interplay of saffron, metallic notes, coffee, bay leaf, black pepper, bergamot, and cinnamon. Its heart blooms into a rich and complex bouquet of cocoa, suede, orris, lavender, clary sage, geranium, rose, davana, and nutmeg, creating a sensual and textural depth. The base lingers with patchouli, musk, sandalwood, moss, cashmeran, cedar, tonka bean, and woody accords, wrapping the wearer in a smouldering, opalescent haze that shifts and refracts like light in the gemstone itself.

Opal melds myth, history, and gem-like brilliance into a unique perfume of fiery magic and timeless sophistication — a true testament to the artistry of Boadicea the Victorious.
