Valiant

Opens with a citrus blast, grapefruit and mandarin cut through by ylang-ylang before the composition pivots decisively into flowers. Orange blossom and Indian jasmine with orris and cherry blossom create something lushly powdery but grounded by sandalwood and tonka bean. By the time the vanilla arrives, Valiant has shifted registers entirely, from bright and citric to warm and quietly amber.

Why We Carry This

The Zodiac Collection pieces from Boadicea are rarely discussed alongside the brand's more celebrated ouds and saffron-heavy orientals, and Valiant is the one that most consistently surprises customers who dismiss florals as predictable.
