hazelnut, tobacco, tonka, and coffee.
It’s a smokey pleasure for coffee, hazelnut, and tonka. It’s slightly like a leathery sweet but more tobacco and smoke. It has a backstaged rhubarb, and resinous factor.
Quite an impressive blend to be honest as i didn’t like it when i first sprayed it on but when it settled it just captivated me…. but i still didn’t recover from their busted fashionista line that they created for one makeup instegramer! i heard they regret taking that step cause their only intention of that step was money digging. Well.. everyone makes mistakes & it’s good when you confess your faults.

A beautiful half-sibling to Tiziana Terenzi’s Laudano Nero. I’m shocked this note breakdown doesn’t have beeswax or honeycomb in it. This does have a tobacco quality similar to Tom ford’s Tobacco oud as well, but less polarizing I feel. It is smooth, smooth, smooth and refined. Expertly blended with a hint of nuttiness and smooth leatheriness from the saffron. The coffee isn’t very present for me but the forest-aspects of the cypriol and fir combine all together to give me a “cool evening with a cigar about to be lit in a luxury cabin” kind of vibe.
All in all, a strong tobacco dominant scent with a darkness and richness not commonly found, and with a restraint shown on the sweetness that few are bold enough to commit to.
Scent: 9/10 damn near flawless for my tastes but also worthy as a composition on it’s own merits. If you like Laudano Nero, tobacco oud, sospiro classica, or slumberhouse norne then you may really love this.
Sillage: 6/10 it isn’t the most potent cloud or following train but it has a decent presence for several hours.
Projection: 6/10 at rest this has a potency for a fairly dense cloud that you will catch whiffs of for a few hours.
Longevity: 7/10 a solid seven hours with up to five being “useful” to me. Not as potent as Vanquish or Iceni, but quite acceptable.
Final verdict: would I buy another bottle? Yes. It is a European exclusive release so getting it in the states is very difficult and pricey but if you get the chance, give it a shot.

Another gem from Boadicea! The coffee and tobacco mix perfectly.
