The art of detail

As His Majesty The King ascended to the throne this weekend, such a momentous day in history evokes moments of reflection and a deeper understanding of the finer details rooted in tradition.

As an independent British fragrance brand, the coronation of King Charles III is illuminating the core values that inspire our brand, strength, beauty and nobility.

However, it is the symbolism that ran throughout The King's coronation has borne a measurable amount of influence on us. Simple details: when handed the royal scepter to signify power, The King was also given a white glove to wear to showcase that power requires gentleness. These small and often dismissed elements are what come together to create traditions and honor heritage.

As a brand that has taken a defining moment in history as our inspiration and takes pride in its British heritage and values, Boadicea the Victorious understands the importance of the finer features.

Predominantly our fragrances are renowned for our high-quality juices and unique fragrance DNA. In addition, specific characteristics of our packaging have become somewhat iconic.

The shape of our bottle alone is unique, yet it is what these beautiful bottles are adorned with that holds distinct relevance and symbolism.

Through the use of several designs, these signature shields represent an element of strength, power, and protection, all very apt for Coronation Weekend.

As a nod to the timeless luxury of our brand, the shields are made from the highest quality pewter that does not contain lead, honoring the brand's commitment to using premium ingredients both inside and out.

Each component of anything Boadicea the Victorious is made within the UK by experienced manufacturers. Each bottle boasts handcrafted elements to celebrate British artisanship, ensuring the smaller details are all creative, original, and high-quality.

Taking a look at the meaning behind some of these iconic shields to understand the symbolism that comes with each is something we feel is important to share. By understanding the stories and inspiration behind craftsmanship and traditions, we can establish their importance and show that each Boadicea, the Victorious fragrance you own, is more than a beautiful bottle with a glorious perfume inside. It's also enriched with heritage.

The four standard Boadicea the Victorious shields relevant to the qualities King Charles III will withhold in his role as King are also present in our namesake, Queen Boadicea; the shields represent this through intricate and unique detailing.

Promise was inspired by Celtic mythology, a Triqueta design representing the three promises of a relationship; love, honor, and protection.

Quarter represents inner strength and resilience through refined details. Said to distract enemies on the battlefield, this shield holds the world's power, with four quarters representing the four elements, air, water, earth, and fire.

Through the use of delicate knotwork that is hand dipped in gold, Everlasting symbolizes everlasting love and eternity.

Warrior is defiant, tightly woven knot work representing eternity and the willingness to defend.

The art of detail is always of signifance and illuminates Boadicea the Victorious' commitment to elevated luxury.
