An interesting fact I recently learned is that the brand was initially created by a Black British hairdresser named Michael Boadi, who is well known in the fashion industry among high fashion houses like Chanel and others. Apparently, he sold his company at some point but he also started another brand in 2011 called Illuminum.
Finally some Boadicea! My favorites of the brand are: fire sapphire, chariot, Hyde park, blue sapphire, notorious, victory to name a few, my favorite brand by far but ridiculously expensive.
Finally! Boadicea is awesome house. You should try Valliant, that one is by far the best one i tried from Boadicea. Ardent, Blue Sapphire, Valliant, Green Sapphire, Lavish... Knowing Sebastian loves vetiver - Lavish will blow you away for sure. My favorites are Blue Sapphire, Valliant and Lavish.
I’ve only tried Ardent and agree with you and Andy. I’ve tried so many fragrances and it’s easily in my top three. Of the others presented here, I’d like to try Energizer and Blue Sapphire.
Sebastián - have you tried their new one in collaboration with Neiman Marcus, it’s called “1907”? Bright red bottle, I smelled it the other day at Neiman and it’s quite lovely and fruity!
I waited for two (2) years to purchase Bodacious and it was worth the wait!! I wish I'd pulled the trigger and purchased this when I first heard of it. I would have never purchased TF Lost Cherry, Bodacious blows it out of the park.
BtV is one of those houses that, for me, has some hits but many misses... and those misses fall into fragrances that I just don't like the smell of, and those where the ingredients simply don't justify the very high price. I have Ardent and Imperial, which are lovely, and at some point I'd like to add Bodacious. Energizer sounds interesting, thanks for featuring it.
My absolute favorite is Heroine. As a voilet fan it's such a treat to my senses!! I have only smelled it at the counter when testing so hope to get a bottle so I can really test with full wear.
I tried a couple of times some of them and loved how luxurious, strong and different from what i know they are. I mean that’s serious stuff. Definitely not a blind buy!
I received Ardent as a sample with something and really enjoyed it and was surprised when I found it had rose, as I tend to shy away from rose. Also really like Bodacious. Will like to get Harmonious for my hub so I can experience "lipstick".
Excellent balanced review! I agree that this is a tough house to crack. If you find out about them late, as I did, it is highly overwhelming. So far, I have Energizer, Green Sapphire, 1907, Nemer, Bodacious (which is a divine cherry). I am taking a break on them for now. I like the animal series, however, time to save a bit. By any chance, are we going to get an ambery fougere update? I know we are in the amber series, just curious. Have a Wonderful Day! Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
Evening Sebastian been waiting for your authentic view about this house, i heard that Blue Sapphire was inspired by middle eastern parfum called Al Qurashi blend by Abdul Samad, watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 Joburg South
I've only sampled about a dozen of Boadicea fragrances because they have just too many and also they are quite expensive ( except the ones that cost around 250 EUR, the others cost too much ). From your list, I've smelled the first 3 and Ardent was my favorite eventhough I am not a big rose fan. I've also liked Iceni and Amethyst, but if I had to get started I'd probably go with Ardent. Thank you for the video!
I haven't been too impressed with Boadicea besides Faith, that one is incredible. Al Qurashi Blend blows Blue Sapphire out of the water imo and with Ardent although good it reminds me so much of Tuxedo, with rose. Bodacious isn't bad. Still looking to try some others
Al Qurashi Blend is awesome. One of the best "oud" scents I tried, and actually one of the best scents I have tried! Works great all year around and the notes make it original enough from your basic oud scents that market is saturated with. Not blind buy worthy, but I would recommend to try it!
Finally! I have Faith, Blue Sapphire, and 1907. Blue Sapphire is up there with Followed for potency. But others I like are Harmonious, Aqua Sapphire, Green Sapphire, Vetiver Imperial, and Dasman to name a few.
Hanuman, Boadacious, Alma and Ardent are some of my favorites! While many of them are overpriced, they are always smooth and well blended. Never any sharp edges with BTV.
*Isn’t Ardent just a glorified Noir de noir. I actually wore them side by side (I have a 2011 bottle of Noir de noir) and there was like 0.1% difference. So it’s redundant to me*
What are your thoughts on Complex? I was so keen to try it, but when I finally did, I sprayed one spray on my arm in Selfridges and I'm not exaggerating to say it's the worst thing I've ever smelled. Passers by commented on how bad it smelled!
I have Bodacious & a decant of Hanuman. I have a choice between a round-trip ticket to Italy or a FB of Hanuman.😸😂 I'm patiently waiting for the price to come down a bit. It's like Bal d'Afrique on steroids & I love it.
Such a great niche house, my favorite is Harmonious now after sniffing at your studio with you. good to see Anddi again. I met him and we talked about you too.

So glad to see Andy back! His nose gets better and better 🙃
Subbed. Hope you’ll bring Andy back soon, you two have a great rapport when talking fragrances
Yay! Andy’s here!
Hello
@@ThePerfumeGuy Hi Sebastian!
If only the scents didn't cost a car payment 😅
😂😂👌🏼
What kind of car are you driving?! These are mortgage payments lol
I started an only fans just to buy these fragrances.
@@drev2388what kind of amazing mortgage do you have that's $350/month?! Lol.
I love Boadicea. I own Glorious, Bodacious, Harmonious and Azrak. I am looking to get Defender, Amethyst, Blue and Aqua Sapphire.
I’ve only tried Ardent and agree with you and Andy. I’ve tried so many fragrances and it’s easily in my top three. Of the others presented here, I’d like to try Energizer and Blue Sapphire.
Good to see Andy back again
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to check out this brand and have a blessed day
I've been eyeing Envious by Boadicea the Victorious. It's a white floral which I love.❤
Hey Sebastian!❤❤ hey Andy!❤ I’ve always wanted a bottle of bodacious😊
Great to see Andy back on the channel! ❤

@@tinastanley9215Bodacious 👌

Hey Sebastian and Andy. Saffire would be my top pick.
Hello
I love the brand and my favorite is Empire from the brand. So good, please get your nose on if you have a chance.
All sound fantastic - a special treat for sure

Get your nose on Nebulous, Hanuman, Hasu, Knight of Love. Also try layering Knight of Love with Aurica 🔥
Happy to see Andy again, so handsome ❤~
I hope you review the Mugler A Men Fantasm
My favorites are Harmonious, Pearl Moon, Consort, Energizer, and Kings Road🔥🔥🔥 if you want to clear a room wear Nebulous😈
Hanuman, Boadacious, Alma and Ardent are some of my favorites! While many of them are overpriced, they are always smooth and well blended. Never any sharp edges with BTV.
Lookin good Guys!
My top Boadicea
Nemer
Blue sapphire
Oud sapphire
Empire
1907
Faith
Aurica
Majestic
They all sound great wish I could get one. 😭
I think I the two best cherries in the market. Sirene and Bodacious. Now I need to try energizer.
High Quality fragrance house 💯🎯👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Curious to try Blue Sapphire, Bodacious and Harmonious, is it true that Electimuss Auster smells like Blue Sapphire? Thanks for the video Guys!!!
*Isn’t Ardent just a glorified Noir de noir. I actually wore them side by side (I have a 2011 bottle of Noir de noir) and there was like 0.1% difference. So it’s redundant to me*
They did say that in there was similarities in the video SO..
Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Blue Sapphire is 1to1 knockoff of Alqurashi Blend.
Do KITON!!! Please!!!!!!!
What are your thoughts on Complex? I was so keen to try it, but when I finally did, I sprayed one spray on my arm in Selfridges and I'm not exaggerating to say it's the worst thing I've ever smelled. Passers by commented on how bad it smelled!
Hello.I heard its more similiar to Orto Parisi Cuiom and its more elegant than Orto Parisi..its diffenetly not for blind buy? I CAN NOT SNIFFING
Love Poison. You may like it better than Love Don't be Shy!
I purchased Bodacious recently and absolutely love it!!!!
My favourite from the brand is Valiant ❤️
Will check Valiant soon. 😀
They have a million that are great. I like Mayfair, Ardent, Blue Sapphire, and yes, I do like Complex......
For sure
Harmonious is incredible.
Love Bodacious and Valiant.
Both good!!
I have Bodacious & a decant of Hanuman. I have a choice between a round-trip ticket to Italy or a FB of Hanuman.😸😂 I'm patiently waiting for the price to come down a bit. It's like Bal d'Afrique on steroids & I love it.
They are sister house of Electimuss I think. So some of their fragrances are overlapping.
Could be yes but I think it’s mostly because they use the same perfumer.
@@ThePerfumeGuy
Who is the perfumer?
Christian Provenzano
Harmonious is the best perfume in boadicea collection
It’s yum
😂😂😂
Mind games French defence is a great Cherry boozy too.❤❤👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ardent is similar to Via Cavour from Xerjoff
Do I detect a chemistry between you guys ☺️🤗🤭
I have about 8 BTB, phenomenal quality. However, they’re nothing groundbreaking or original they all remind me of something.
What's your opinion on Champion?
I haven’t tried it
My top 10:
1. Harmonious
2. Bodacious
3. Dragon (overpriced though)
4. Valiant (also overpriced)
5. Amethyst (not great projection)
6. Ardent (trash performance unfortunately)
7. Almas (your typical oud rose combo)
8. The King (regal TF plum japonaise)
9. Bravery (Hypnotic poison niche level)
10. Hanuman (smoother overpriced version of bal d afrique)
ardent = more than words
Mayfair is awesome from this house
The bottles looks a little small what sizes do they come in?
Pretty sure they're 50ml and 100ml bottles, but all fragrances may not be available in both sizes.
900€ for Blue Saphire is a pretty lot
I am looking for Robes08's (aka the Marc's) comment.😂😂😂
Sebastián - have
Amber sapphire is my favorite
Such a great niche house, my favorite is Harmonious now after sniffing at your studio with you. good to see Anddi again. I met him and we talked about you too.
How do you feel about hanuman
I heard bodacious smells better than French defense my mind games.
Oh yes
Have you tried Hanuman?
Sadly I haven’t or maybe I did but it’s come up a lot so o really have to circle back to it now.
Very popular in Russia… naughty naughty
more than my mazda's note
👍👍👍
❤
Hello
This house severely lacks originality.
I disagree.
Is he your son? You Guys have the same nose !
Nope not my son. 😀
One of the most overrated houses!
Not even close.
@@chandracox6814I wore amethyst and someone’s wife made her husband walk over and ask me what I was wearing.
BTV is probably the only brand that is far from it.
Cuties
Is Andy not your son? You too look so similar it’s scary
Nemer, Zayed, Dasman, Midnight and so many bangers they have. Am a big fan. Overpriced though. Don't buy retail
Not my cup of tea 😂😂😂 ,too much as for cup set🙂😜 price
