Boadicea The Victorious OPAL

Boadicea the Victorious Opal is the British luxury fragrance house’s newest release for 2025. “Opal is an enchanting blend of orris, coffee, and spice! The saffron opening is hearty and exotic. The orris heart is waxy and sensual as it is also contrasted by aromatic lavender and clary sage. The patchouli base is long lasting with hints of creamy sandalwood and spicy cedar.” -Steven Gavrielatos, Video Contributor

 

Top notes: Saffron, Coffee, Bay Leaf, Metallic notes, Cinnamon, Black Pepper and Bergamot; Mid notes: Cocoa, Suede, Orris, Geranium, Clary Sage, Lavender, Davana, Nutmeg and Rose; Base notes: Musk, Orris, Patchouli, Cashmeran, Moss, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Cedar and Woody Notes

The brand was founded by Michael Boadi in 2008, inspired by Boadicea (or Boudica) a Celtic queen of the Iceni tribe of modern-day Norfolk in Eastern England who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. According to the perfumer Julie Lerendu’s Instagram, “the brief was an ode to the mystical opal stone, capturing the magic of the Year of the Wood Snake“. Since March is National Women’s Month; we can’t think of a better way to honor the inspiration for the brand and the perfumer! –Michelyn

    Boadicea is an amazing house with very exotic fragrance. Opal is mysterious and Opulent. One everyone should get their nose on

  • Kirsten says:

    This is the first time I have heard of Boadicea The Victorious, and it sounds so interesting and mysterious! I love saffron and spice notes, and this sounds so yummy! I am in Colorado USA and appreciate this glorious opportunity!

  • mginsh7 says:

    Steven’s description of Opal paints it as a luxurious, bold fragrance with exotic spices and a complex heart wrapped in a warm, woody base. From what Steven says, it sounds like Opal is on the stronger, more mature side, perfect for those looking for something distinctive and daring. Given my fondness for creamy woods, spices, and sensual florals, and appreciation for rich, complex combinations, Opal’s notes are very intriguing! I’m aware of the brand’s high-end niche appeal, but am personally relatively new to niche, with its often loud, strong statement-making blends! From the US.

  • Todd Carlson says:

    Steven does great content as always and is very informative of fragrance. I have yet to try something from this house but am looking forward too soon.

  • Brandon Rodriguez says:

    Opal from Steven’s review sounds complex and luxurious. The notes sounds like blend into a beautiful melody. The saffron coffee orris excellent!

  • Sweat Pea says:

    Love learning about the inspiration behind a perfumes. This one sounds very intriguing.

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

    From the description Steven gave, I was already intrigued and the notes of Saffron and Coffee, and leather, I need this one in my collection. The article sealed the deal. I would love to win this.

  • zz97 says:

    I’m thrilled to enter this amazing giveaway! I follow @cafleurebonofficial on Instagram. Steven’s video on Boadicea The Victorious Opal was fascinating he explains everything so vividly, and the fragrance sounds absolutely enchanting with its blend of saffron, coffee, and spice. I do also love bodacious by Boadicea The Victorious and have been wanting to try more. I’d love to experience the magic of Opal. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. Located in the US

  • Christopher Dorsett says:

    I am familiar with Boadicea The Victorious, but I have not yet had the opportunity to experience it personally. However, based on Steven’s description of the fragrance notes, I am interested in testing it.

  • Vasyl says:

  • Michael Bullock says:

    I really want to win this fragrance because it has a lot of my favorite notes and me and my can share it GOD BLESS

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I am very familiar with the brand of Boadicea The Victorious and one thing it’s for sure, it’s luxurious. Judging by the notes I thought it would be a gourmand because of the coffee and cacao but it doesn’t seem to be that way according to Steven. It’s more of a dinner date or night out type of fragrance and coming from this house, it makes total sense. In true Boadicea fashion there are lots of notes but they always are all blended so well that you can still pick the independent notes and get the overall feeling the perfumer is trying to convey. The golden hue of the bottle gives in to the saffron, coffee and chocolatey aspect of it adding to the overall ecosystem Boadicea represents. I actually have tried a few from the house in passing but obviously due to the luxury of the brand have not pulled a trigger on any of them yet. There’s still a few days left of cold weather to enjoy this gem and it will be fall again before you know it. I’m located in the USA and a million thanks to Kintessence for this very generous giveaway

  • PerfumesforLife says:

    I am familiar with Boadicea and I love some of their offerings like Dasman. This one sounds amazing. I checked Steven’s video and I like his description. He explained that it was a very opulent formal scent and I love those. The opening with saffron and leather with iris but not the lipstick kind. Overall a spicy leather with saffron which is one of my favorite notes plus the coffee note. This sounds like everything I wanted in a perfume!

    USA

  • HueloBien says:

    When I think of Boadicea the Victorious, I comes to mind their beautiful bottle design.
    I haven’t had the opportunity to smell any fragrance from the house, and even if Opal has the floral aspects Steven describes, the leather and orris, make me think I can wear it.

    Good luck to all.
    From Massachusetts.

  • Barbara Perkins says:

    Hi, my birthday is coming in the March 9th, it will be my 50th birthday with strength, resilient since I survived cancer. Therefore, Bodicea is one of my favorite female warriors.
    Thanks for your lovely channel.

  • Jenna Park says:

    I found this site by watching Steven’s videos. I come back to see what’s new and read the reviews. I am familiar with Bodicea as niche elegant fragrances. Ardent Boadicea the Victorious is a beautiful rose scent. It’s amazing! I would love to try this new scent. First the bottle is so elegant the attention to detail makes it special. Then Steven describes the coffee and saffron notes with a little floral. It has me so interested in trying. This house has an amazing range of fragrances. I need to try more.

  • deedavinci says:

    Wow I love everything redolessence does! His reviews are in depth and very informative! I look up to him in frag con. This frag sounds like a masterpiece! Would love to try it!

  • alleycat says:

    I have heard of this line but have yet to try it. I do love their bottles! I liked when Steven described this as a very rich and opulent fragrance, because it sure looks it. USA

  • Orvy Abreu says:

    I’m not familiar with this brand ,but I watched a lot of reviews about how awesome this fragrances are ,how good they smell ,and how long they last and project ,I never have also the opportunity also to smell any fragrances from this brand, ,great review by the way Steve ,thank you for the opportunity to be part of this giveaway!!!

  • Allyn22 says:

    The review was wonderful and got me excited for this release. Boadicea has a few big hitters and I am hoping this is another!

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I imagine these notes shining independently in this fragrance to make a beautiful composition like an opal with distinct colors, yet overall gorgeous. That atomizer is amazing!! 10 to 12 hours is a plus. I love saffron fragrances, love that it is very noticeable. Steve sprayed so much, his studio must have smelled amazing for days. My local shop used to carry this line, I think they dropped it due to the prices. Thanks for the chance. USA.

  • Mario C says:

    I just got a sample of this and OMG, the opening is amazing. Love the drydown as well, woodsy little oregano in there to my nose and gives off a wonderful bubble. Delightful

  • Jeff Dennis says:

    Had a brief smell of this last week in Harrods London. I did like it but I need to try it for longer to really get a feel for it. Haven’t managed to really fall in love with any of the impressive fragrances from this brand. Complex is the best so far for me

  • Dan says:

    Boadicea produces some truly incredible fragrances. This one sounds intriguing with the rich combination of notes. Steven seemed to really emphasize the presence of the saffron, leather, orris, coffee and cacao notes. It does sound rich and indulgent yet sophisticated. I definitely need to sample this one and see what it’s all about. Cheers!!

  • TrapperJohn113 says:

    Ive been really interested in orris fragrances lately and would love this as an addition to my collection

  • FragheadS says:

    This scent profile is right up my alley, I can tell that just by the looks of it. Boadicea The Victorious always creates masterpieces, and Opal sounds like no exception. The saffron, coffee, and orris combo is calling my name. Fingers crossed for this giveaway.

  • FragranceIsMe says:

    Steven had me at Spicy, Sweet, and Mysterious. Sounds like a prime choice for those special occasions.
    USA

  • Aman saifi says:

    I’ve always admired how Boadicea turns rare ingredients into art. The way ‘Victorious’ balances smoky oud with saffron’s warmth feels like a scent you’d only discover once in a lifetime. Would be incredible to finally experience that complexity firsthand

  • Sonya says:

    Boudicea looks so gorgeous and Opal sounds so gorgeous. The description sounds
    So exciting and nothing like I ever smelled before. I would love to get nose on this one.

  • chocoshelo says:

    I love how this fragrance incorporates both bold and smooth elements. The contrast between the spicy opening and the creamy, musky base makes it sound like it has a beautifully complex evolution. Never tried this house but excited to.

  • lillys says:

    This fragrance sounds like a modern classic in the making. I would love to see how it performs over time. Love the spicy and saffron notes on this one. Thanks for sharing.

  • fragrant_attention says:

    The notes in this fragrance make it sound so unique and luxurious. Love that it’s inspired by the mystical opal stone. Can’t wait to try it.
    I appreciate this wonderful opportunity <3

  • Matthew Marsh says:

    Based on the note breakdown, this sounds like an amazing fragrance! I love the bottle design! I have been a fan of Steven’s for some time now, and always appreciate his intricate descriptions of fragrances. You can see his passion in his videos. I haven’t had the chance to try anything from Boadicea, but this sounds like something I’d really enjoy! Thank you for hosting these giveaways! Best of luck everyone!

  • ForTheLoveofFrag says:

    The way Steven described Opal makes it seem like a true powerhouse fragrance. I love deep, rich scents, and this might be my next purchase or if I am lucky enough might even win this. Boadicea as always is an amazing house.

  • balu says:

    Following cafleurebon @sangsum4
    I love discovering new niche fragrances, and Opal seems like its worth every bit of hype it is getting. It sounds so intriguing with its notes profile. Something very exotic. Coffee and orris combination is just pure love!

  • badujaana says:

    So many of my favorite notes in one bottle namely saffron, patchouli, tonka, and coffee. I can already tell I am going to love this. This is the first time I am hearing about this house, thanks to steven and michelyn.

  • Matthew1217 says:

  • afternoir says:

    The depth of this scent seems absolutely unreal. I need a bottle of Opal in my collection ASAP. Pure beautiful sophisticated luxury which is evident from the bottle itself. US

  • Citrus Paradise says:

    I love how Steven really breaks down the fragrance and describes every note. He makes Opal sound irresistible. I love the combination of saffron and coffee, its such an intoxicating duo. Boadicea never fails to create truly luxurious and intriguing scents.

  • Controlledbyscent31 says:

    Love when fragrances take inspiration from something as mystical as an opal. It makes the scent feel even more special. This is the first time I hear of this house but I definitely will be looking into it.
    Following on instagram. Thanks

  • asmithson218 says:

    As I heard about the note breakdown I ordered a sample. I’m a fan of iris and saffron fragrances so I’m excited to see how the blend turns out.
    If what Steven says is true, its sad that its a little less versatile; but if you’re buying a bottle of this price to wear to the office I suppose you’re missing the point haha.

  • INYA says:

    The lavender, clary sage and patchouli in Opal sounds right up my alley. I do enjoy herbal scents. I liked learning about how the Boadicea brand was founded. I do enjoy Bodacious from them. Steven mentioned the coffee and cocoa notes that are warm and rich. Sounds delicious. Thanks for another wonderful review and draw. MI USA

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    I’m familiar with the name Boadicea but I’ve yet to experience a fragrance by the house. I’m very interested in Opal and it’s sensual opulence. I love the snake detailing on the bottle of this one. The loudness of this scent is super appealing to me and I’m fond of a unisex scent. I’m a Redolessence subscriber and follower of Cafleurebon on insta. I live in Oregon.

  • CK says:

    Enjoyed Steven’s video, especially his mention of the coffee, cocoa, and orris mixing with spices and suede. I’m interested to smell how the orris is used in this based on how Steven spoke of it being not lipsticky, but waxy, creamy, and smooth and sensual. I liked how this tied in to Women’s History Month with the brand being based on a heroine and the perfumes being a woman as well as Michelyn mentioned in her excerpt. I am familiar with Boadicea The Victorious but have not yet had the good fortune of owning or trying any. Thanks for the generous draw, from The U.S.

  • scentista says:

    The way this fragrance is described makes it sound rich, deep, and so well-layered. The cinnamon and black pepper opening has me really excited to try this one.

  • fenoburris says:

    The description alone makes me feel like I am already in love with this scent. I need to try it as soon as possible. Sounds heavenly!!! I would love this!!! Thanks for the opportunity! I have heard about the house before and always wanted to try them out.

  • Maryjean says:

    Opal – Steven’s review sounds interesting . The bottle alone is beautiful. The notes are a very nice blend mysterious and exotic. Love learning information behind the fragrance. USA

  • afternoir says:

    Patchouli and sandalwood in the base? This has to be a longlasting scent. Notes are very intriguing on this one. I have not heard about Boadicea de Victorious before, but have added them to my list now.

  • elenitsaa says:

    Steven’s review really painted a vivid picture of Opal. I love rich, complex fragrances with depth, and this one seems to check all the boxes. I would love to win this. USA

  • Maidenhead says:

    Never heard of Boadicea before, but now I am completely intrigued. I have always believed that a great fragrance should tell a story, and this one sounds like an adventure from start to finish.

    The inspiration behind it, the complexity of the notes, and the way it seems to evolve from spicy and warm to creamy and smooth, its just too good.

  • bernell79 says:

    Boadicea is a fragrance house that consistently delivers when it comes to high quality scents. This one sounds like its no exception. I really like it when perfumers take risks with unique note combinations and the inclusion of coffee, orris, and suede makes this stand out from typical spicy woody fragrances you get in the market. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

  • whispering moonlight says:

    The contrast between aromatic lavender and spicy saffron must be so incredible in thsi fragarnce. I enjoyed reading about the many facets of this perfume. I haven not yet tried any fragrances from this house. Thanks for the chance in the giveaway drawing.

  • scenchanting says:

    I haven’t heard of this brand, so this is a delight and I am curious to see what this smells like. The way the notes are layered sounds absolutely mesmerizing.

  • Aaronmy says:

    I usually go for citrus heavy fragrances, but this one sounds too good to ignore. That saffron opening must be so rich and captivating! Love how this fragrance seems to evolve. Well done steven and Michelyn, you both beautifully presented this scent.

  • LavenderJuliette says:

    The way this fragrance is described makes it sound like the perfect combination of richness and elegance. I can imagine this being the kind of scent that leaves a lasting impression without being overpowering.
    So unique, dynamic and intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway.

  • muskyrose says:

    Orris, sandalwood, tonka bean… this sounds like an absolute dream. Boadicea fragrances are top tier, and I would love to own this one .I’m located in the USA and thanks to Kintessence too.

  • maarwah says:

    Orris and suede is a match made in heaven. Excited to see how it plays out in Opal. I love both these notes in fragrances so this sounds very apealing, and I’ve never had the opportunity to try any fragrance from this house.

  • Odor Aeternitatis says:

    What a wonderful review and perfume,I love coffee and spicy scents, but I haven’t found my signature scent yet. maybe this is my perfect signature scent. Thanks for the draw.

  • scentense95 says:

    National Women’s Month, Boudica, and a scent inspired by opals. I love the significance behind this release. I have heard of this brand many times, but have never had an opportunity to get my nose on any of its creations.

  • oudmymood says:

    I will be honest, I had never heard of this fragrance house before, but the way Steven describes this scent has me completely excited for this.
    I can imagine the velvety texture, and with notes like patchouli, sandalwood, and tonka bean in the drydown, this sounds like a scent that must be having amazing sillage.

  • k.mcpaters-negron@comcast.net says:

    Bodicea. Is a new house for me and it’s definitely a house worth exploring.
    I’m so intimidated as to where totaling my next venture. Bodacious was a risky Blind buy. It wasn’t a let down at all! A beautiful fragrances!
    I’d like to see Stephen to do a video recommending office scent from this lovely house.

  • MysticalArugula says:

    I loved the fact that this fragrance is inspired by the Year of the Wood Snake. Its an interesting detail. The bottle alone is a work of art, and the notes sound just as mesmerizing! Overall 10/10 in my opinion.

  • sourbergamot says:

    I can already imagine how smooth and luxurious this must smell. Steven’s reviews always make me want to try everything he reviews. I’ve not tried anything from this house, although I’ve seen it about and loved the bottles, let alone the name.

  • Danniel says:

    I am familiar with BtV as a brand solely because of how expensive they are. I would love to try this simply to see if the squeeze is worth the juice. Saffron, iris, and coffee together would be a unique addition to my collection and Steven’s mention of it having incense notes despite them not being listed has me even more interested. The bottle is beautiful and the atomizer looks great which should be expected if you’re gonna charge more than a band for one bottle! I’m in the USA!

  • Devin says:

    I’ve never smelled this one but would like to enjoy a saffron based luxury fragrance from this brand.

  • Cornelia says:

    Boadicea does such incredible work with blending bold, confident fragrances. This one looks like another winner for me. I often tend to go for woody, spicy fragrances, so this one is definitely on my radar.

  • kokichen says:

    The bottle as well as the notes, both intrigued me. Orris and when you add in the warmth of cinnamon, the richness of coffee, it all sounds incredibly well balanced. Definitely intrigued!

  • meldot says:

    Steven’s review was excellent. I am always drawn to fragrances deemed “not office friendly,” I love wearing them casually! Lol. The spice combination sounds quite special. Watching Steven spray this just has my mouth watering. I have never sampled nor can I afford a fragrance from this house so I am really hoping I’m lucky with this win. Thank you so much for the opportunity! In USA.

  • bigpapa says:

    Always was a fan of Boadicea, they have some good stuff but man are some of their prices insane! Love the elegance of the bottle design and packaging though. Always been a sucker for a good coffee fragrance and nice to hear from Steven that the iris is not lip sticky, never been huge into that. Great that the performance is very strong as well.

  • rose95 says:

    I have been looking for something with a strong, lasting presence, and this seems like a perfect match, and this sounds like the perfect fragrance to wear for a crisp, cool evening.

    Saffron is an incredible note.
    Steve said 12hrs of longevity is insane and it’s very luxurious smelling.
    Wow would love to win

  • Scent bear says:

    The saffron and bay leaf top notes make me think of something exotic yet comforting. Sounds amazing! This is really generous of Kintessence, thanks for the opportunity.

  • Madden Sinead says:

    The coffee note really caught my attention. I love when a fragrance incorporates rich, dark accords like that. Plus the spicy notes with orris, this sounds like everything I wanted in a perfume!

  • Rossco68 says:

    Every time I read one of Steven’s reviews, I feel like I’m being transported into the world of the fragrance itself. The way he describes this scent makes it seem like something truly luxurious. Thanks for introducing me to this fragrance. I have previously known the brand but never tried them.

  • sandhi says:

    I am fairly new to Boadicea The Victorious, but every fragrance I hear about from this house sounds like a work of art. The combination of saffron and coffee makes me think of something so refined yet holds boldness and Steven’s review really sold me on how well these notes come together. I would love the chance to experience this scent.

  • Thebluelotus says:

    Boadicea The Victorious always brings something special to the table, and Opal seems like another incredible creation. I love how Steven broke down the layers of this fragrance, so much so that I can literally picture how amazing it must smell in real life.
    I have tried their Alseif.

  • Zestybloom says:

    Steven always gives such detailed and insightful reviews, and Opal is now officially on my radar. I love how he described the richness of the scent with notes like coffee and various spices.

  • obsidian says:

    The bottle design is a treat to the eyes. Its goregous. I have yet to try something from this house but after the review I am really looking forward to it. Its a lovely creamy and spicy fragrance to me.

  • Sherin Thomas says:

    This BDC Opal smells royalty indeed, swade leather. Steven has said in his review. Money written all over it. I wish I could win this bottle . I will be so much happy,

  • Scott says:

    Steven’s video only heightened my interest in getting my nose onto this fragrance. I am very familiar with Boadicea The Victorious fragrances and look forward to this new release. The notes suggest that this will be a gem and an instant classic.

  • Gabriel G says:

    Steven’s description makes this sound like a must smell. I’ve never smelled anything by BTV.

  • Annika says:

    Opal is a really fascinating gemstone, flush with color but delicate with an overall milkiness. The notes for Boadicea the Victorious Opal seem to reflect that duality with relaxing herbs and orris but also with a spiced coffee kick MD, USA

  • Maestro says:

    As someone unfamiliar with Boadicea the Victorious, I’ve always heard remarkable things about the brand’s craftsmanship and quality. Opal seems to be no exception. Inspired by the enchanting opal stone and the Year of the Wood Snake, this fragrance is a bold and sophisticated composition that seamlessly weaves together spice, woods, and florals. Steven’s video review beautifully captures the essence of Opal, highlighting its alluring saffron opening, sensual orris heart, and rich, long-lasting base. The combination of coffee, suede, and patchouli creates an exquisite balance between warmth and depth, while hints of cinnamon, cocoa, and lavender add an intriguing complexity.
    With Opal, perfumer Julie Lerendu has crafted an olfactory journey that feels both timeless and modern. If this scent embodies the luxury and artistry I’ve heard so much about, I can’t wait to experience it firsthand! I’m your follower on Instagram, ealiyahia.

  • almondlover says:

    The presentation is stunning! And the atomizer so satisfying. I’m intrigued by its complexity. Steven does great content as always and is very informative.

  • chini01 says:

    I loved the inclusion of orris. Its such an underrated note, but when used well, it adds this beautiful powdery texture to a fragrance. It would be interesting to see how it evolves throughout the day. I’ve never had the opportunity to try any fragrance from this house so hoping that this would be my first.

  • Swetrosysillage says:

    This sounds like the kind of fragrance that gets you compliments all day long 🙂 The composition on this is so complex and multi-layered, I am sure it will keep evolving throughout the day.

  • Shibu says:
