‘What is the best?’ is a frequently asked question from both fans of Boadicea the Victorious and newcomers alike. The honest answer is that ‘best’ is really all in the eye of the beholder! When consulting with clients, the first question I ask is ‘how do you want this perfume to make you feel?’, the answers are often quite insightful! Perfume is so intrinsically related to ‘feeling’ that it cannot be ignored, depending on a host of external factors on any given day we might be looking for a perfume to perform a different function, making us feel fresh or seductive or powerful, for example. Making ‘best’ highly subjective!
One, however, cannot deny facts and therefore I find myself looking to statistics rather than emotions in determining the Boadicea Top Ten. These 10 fragrances are our ‘best sellers’ across the globe. Many of these spectacular scents have been within the collection for several years and are an irrefutable classic. Each fragrance containing a bevy of unparalleled raw ingredients ensuring every scent adapts to the individual, instantly personalising the perfume for every wearer.
Take yourself on an exotic adventure with Blue Sapphire. A fragrance initially launched to mark the 65th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip of the United Kingdom, Blue Sapphire has certainly earnt its place as our number 1. Its fruity top notes seamlessly mingle with daring oud, bring a bright playfulness to an otherwise timeless masterpiece. It’s a pure perfume that simply cannot be missed.
