Description
Description
Decadence Pure Perfume by Boadicea the Victorious is a 2024 Harrods-exclusive built for maximum intensity: a saffron, pink pepper and raspberry opening giving way to leather and magnolia, then settling onto genuine Cambodian oud and white woods. Fragrantica reviewers call it "bloody mind-blowing," with several flagging its enormous sillage and projection.
Scent Character
- Spicy: 32% (saffron, pink pepper, coriander)
- Oud: 20% (Cambodian oud)
- Woody: 19% (blond wood, vetiver suede)
- Fresh: 18% (bergamot)
- Floral: 11% (magnolia, geranium)
Translation: a spiced, fruited opening over genuine Cambodian oud, leather and woods, dense, warm and unmistakably a pure perfume concentration.

Performance
Longevity: Very good to excellent. Reviewers consistently note it lasts well beyond a standard eau de parfum, as expected of a pure perfume concentration.
Sillage: Enormous. Multiple reviewers describe the projection as room-filling. This is a fragrance to apply sparingly.

Fall and winter evenings and special occasions. Its intensity makes it a poor fit for the office or close quarters.
