I was skeptical with the price but it is the real deal and it is easily my favorite scent for only special occasions. I love it!
I was concerned about getting authentic Clive Christian at these prices. My skepticism was wasted. I will always check ScentRabbit first before buying any fragrances!
I love it. Great lasting power. I could smell it on my seat belt days after wearing it.
It’s juicy without smelling like candy yet still somehow fresh.
I would totally buy it again.
I purchased Defender from ScentRabbit at 48 percent off the original retail price and with free shipping (I received it within seven business days, though I did have to sign a signature delivery document from UPS for this order). Considering that Defender is one of Boadicea The Victorious' newest fragrances, getting it at that steep of a discount made it impossible to pass up.
Defender has a smooth, buttery aura that reminds me of a tart dessert - a sweet concoction of cherry compote, honey, ginger, cognac, Peru balsam and licorice. The opening of the honey and cognac accord is surprisingly light, likely because of the ginger's spiciness. Meanwhile, the licorice gives it some texture, so it doesn't come off as animalic.
The cherry compote mixes well with the honey and cognac, giving Defender that aforementioned sweetness. The honey and cognac mix also reminds me a bit of Jack Daniels' Tennessee Honey, being both warm and comforting. The tonka bean is rich, sweet, and spicy, and the orange blossom is creamy and indulgent, adding that perfect touch of sweetness.
Finally, the combination of the hay, leather and musk gives Defender a grounded element that prevents it from being cloying. The fragrance is light enough that it can be worn in warm weather, and in some environments, a year-round fragrance.
The only downside so far is that Defender seems to have average projection and performance (a surprise considering Boadicea fragrances are known for their projection and performance). Hopefully, those will improve as the bottle ages.
But overall, I'm once again pleased with my purchase from ScentRabbit. It's my go-to online discounter for Boadicea The Victorious fragrances at a steep discount.
I purchased Harmonious from ScentRabbit at 45 percent off the original retail price and with free shipping (I received it within seven business days). You can't ask for better service and pricing from an online fragrance discounter.
As for the fragrance, people have compared Harmonious to the original formula for Dior Homme Parfum. But I find Harmonious to be brighter, louder, more complex, perhaps slightly softer, and EXTREMELY longer-lasting. Longevity is honestly 12-14 hours on my skin.
While there may be similarities to DHP, Harmonious is much drier. The iris flower accord is replaced with a dusty saffron note, while the ambrette seems to be amped up, giving it an increased musky edge. The dry-down brings out vanilla, sandalwood, and cashmere wood, which adds another complex layer.
Harmonious will be in my fall fragrance rotation. It's a gorgeous, naughty and playful take on DHP, but with more versatility.
Overall, excellent service and pricing from ScentRabbit. I definitely will return to make more purchases of Boadicea The Victorious fragrances, especially at those discounts.
