Polo in the park 2022

June is sure to be an exciting month for us all. After the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in the first weekend of the month, the second weekend in June brings an iconic event that is a highlight in London’s social calendar, Polo in the Park.

From Friday 10th to Sunday 12th, Chestertons Polo in the park will take place in the capital. Hurlingham Polo is shorter and quicker than classic polo, however, that does not mean it is any less fun. The fast-paced format ensures that even first-time guests will understand the use of mallets, divots, and even what Chukka means by the end of the first match.

Alongside polo rules, there are also a few other factors to consider, including, your attire. Similar to the races, attendees tend to be extravagant in their choice of polo outfit, yet unlike the races there are no rules when it comes to dress code, meaning guests can experiment with hemlines and fabrics in their bid to become best dressed.

The weekend offers an incredible social side, delicious food, the opportunity to shop unique boutiques and live music. This June will also see the first-ever International Women’s test match which will be England vs USA. Whether you’re a regular at the polo or are considering joining for the first time, then head to our social media channels for the chance to win tickets to this year’s Polo in the Park.

Once you know the rules, etiquette, and attire for the polo, another important factor is knowing how to smell the best for one of the main events of the season. Boadicea the Victorious has an array of fragrances that will have Polo in the Park organisers considering a ‘best-scented’ category for 2023.

The month of June tends to be one with some sunshine days in the UK so opting for fresh yet long-lasting fragrances is ideal. Energizer is a unisex citrus fragrance, with top notes of lime, grapefruit, and bergamot before heart notes of orange, lemon, musk, and a base note of vetiver. All notes that create an uplifting, sparkling scent that lasts hours on the skin.

Valiant describes the Polo players well, yet it’s also an amber floral fragrance that is indulgent and long-lasting. Valiant boasts notes of ylang-ylang, mandarin orange blossom, cherry blossom, orris, tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood, that all come together to compose a seductive yet bright.

Add a Chariot to enhance your polo experience with a dazzling citrus fragrance. Chariot emboldens the wearer, with top notes of blackcurrant, apple and bergamot, before opening to notes of rose, nutmeg, cardamom, neroli and tuberose then entering a dry down of oud, benzoin, cedar and moss, to leave a lasting impression on those who encounter you throughout the day.

Finally, one of the newest additions to the Boadicea portfolio, Blue Sapphire Supercharged, will be showcased at Polo in the Park, the accelerated sister scent of global phenomena Blue Sapphire. The need for speed and the desire for living in the fast lane is the inspiration behind this literally ‘supercharged’ scent. Aptly timed for the polo, reminiscent of the powerful ponies charging the fields - Blue Sapphire Supercharged has some serious horsepower!
