Ardent by Boadicea the Victorious, composed by Christian Provenzano in 2012, is a floral fragrance with spicy, woody and resinous depth. Rose is at its centre, framed by saffron and a rich base of oud, amber and resins.

The opening brings Turkish rose and saffron, a warm, velvety and leathery pairing, along with carrot seed for an earthy, slightly powdery note and coriander for a fresh spice. In the heart, rose continues alongside jasmine, hedione for a transparent glow and beeswax, which adds a honeyed, slightly waxy warmth. The base of vanilla, patchouli, benzoin, agarwood (oud), amber and labdanum is rich, resinous and smoky.

About half of wearers find it long lasting, and the sillage is mostly strong. It is voted mainly for autumn and slightly favoured for the evening. Worn by anyone, it suits dinners, cooler days and formal occasions, for someone who loves rich rose and oud scents.

Ardent — unisex fragrance by Boadicea the Victorious (released 2012). Top notes: Turkish Rose, Saffron, Coriander, Carrot Seeds. Heart notes: Rose, Beeswax, Jasmine, Hedione. Base notes: Vanilla, Patchouli, Agarwood (Oud), Benzoin, Amber, Labdanum, Musk. — Parfica open fragrance database
