Exotic Boadicea the Victorious for women and men

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

EXOTIC is a delicious oriental delight. It is fragrant, sweet, slightly spicy and delightfully seductive.

There is something gourmand and sweet in the top notes of Exotic. It smells to me like an oriental dessert along the lines of Turkish delight with vanilla and dusty dry sweet fruits contrasted by very aromatic bergamot and lavender. This contrast of dusty sweet and strong aromatic is quite striking and beautiful. The heart notes are interesting mix of lavender, incense, vanilla and sweet notes. I do not get strong floral notes in the heart, perhaps a bit of a sweet rose. Vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver and musk mingle together in the rich, sweet and oriental base.

EXOTIC definitely qualifies as a unique and attention worthy scent. I love oriental and gourmand scents. This one is not sugar vanilla one but more of an aromatic, sweet oriental. It smells quite lovely on my skin and has a nice comforting gourmand quality.

Here is another Boadicea's tested at Caleri's shop in Genoa!
Of the bunch I tried this is the one I like less only for personal reasons because the lily is predominant and it gives me the funeral effect or reminds me of Anais Anais I don't like.
It must be something in memories that trigger this feeling.
Otherwise Exotic is a very well made fragrance, I would say very feminine and not so unisex. Lily and incense are the notes that really show up in the composition. On my skin it becomes an overpowering incensed white lily that I don't like on myself for the said reasons. It is longlasting and really works with your chemistry. Quality is superior. I'm sure it may appeal to a young lady with a tendence to soft mysticism. More mystical and emotional than Exotic.

For my nose Exotic smells like a dusty citrus candy lying in the wooden box. Interesting warm fragrance, the staying power is medium on my skin.
