Description

Seductive is part gourmand, part sensual musk fragrance, equally suitable for both men and women.

It opens with notes of rosemary, fir and resins. The core is made of precious musk, ambergris and tender jasmine, which dries down to the base of dense sandal and patchouli oils.

It is available as 50 and 100 ml EDP and 100 ml atomizer.

The nose behind this fragrance is John Stephen.

    I love this! I adore the brisk coolness of it that lasts hours and the drydown is gorgeous.
    I think this is great for a man or woman but it does not seem seductive to me. Just refreshing.
    It’s not exactly like Zegna’s Javanese Patchouli but the coolness of it and the first hour remind me so much of it that I feel I don’t need both, but great scent! Makes me happy.

    I so wish this gorgeous fragrance were stronger because the dry down is exquisite!

    First off, the bottle is beautiful – love the ornate design, cap stays on, sprayer works well.
    The scent itself reminds me of what an updated version of polo green might smell like, made for the “modern man”. It’s got that nice green piney thing going on, but it’s much more subdued and natural than polo green. There is also something fresh in the dry down, almost like a hint of lemon…but just a hint, hiding in the background.
    This fragrance is long-lasting on my skin, but projects nicely for around 4 hours. A nice scent for Fall, Winter, and early Spring.

    Like a reviewer below, I love Sensuous Noir.
    But this one? No.
    A little of Kouros, a little more of Knowing (Estée Lauder) and some USED baby wipes.
    Good longevity, soft/moderate sillage.

    Sexy original perfume, I love it! Expensive smelling and unique!

    Wow. Not for the faint hearted. Powerful pine/fir leaps from the bottle and engulfs you. However once the pine calms down the blend of this perfume is terrific. It’s sexy as hell and really unapologetically so – in your face and flamboyant. This is a fragrance of overt confidence erring on the side of arrogance – and it’s made all the more compelling because of that “I don’t give a ****” approach. AMAZING.
    Balsamic, woody, not remotely floral on my skin. More masculine than feminine but I wear it regardless. I love it. This is a fragrance that could enslave a person – both the wearer and the “sniffer”.
    Give it a few goes, and prepare yourself to be startled!

    Cedar, pine,fir lovers come one, come all!!! Just popped the sample on my arm earlier today and this evening, I bought a FB……
    I love EL Sensuous Noir due to its woody, cedar notes and this beauty certainly lives up to its name!!
    I don’t often verbally ooze over a fragrance but considering I have been on the hunt for a delicious pine, cedar, woody scent like this for years…
    Oh happy day!!

    I knew you once Seductive – you were a child then, and went by “Bitter Rose, Broken Spear” from D. S. & Durga. But now you are all grown up. You found your balance and your composure. And I think I want you.

    Ditto the love for the mentholated medicinal opening, the fir forest incense. Seductive is not black lingerie in the boudoir; rather it’s one of those naughty Celtic kelpies that appears as a beautiful woman and lures you into the river to your doom. She wouldn’t smell like Joy. The fir sap and patchouli are at once bracing like a breath of cold air, and richly beguiling.
    Another Boadicea frag that is Maleficent to mainstream perfume’s Sleeping Beauty. One fills the sky with green dragon majesty, the other lies there waiting for some guy to show up.

    Boadicea Seductive is rather odd name for this fir tree sap intense drying down to a cedary base. If you forget about the name, the scent is outstanding – the top and middle is a beautifully natural smelling fir tree with a side dish of rosemary. This is nearly linear for a long time, gradually leading into an Atlas cedar base with some musk and patchouli. If there is jasmine in there it is hiding well from my nose.
    My first Boadicea the Victorious experience was with Complex (aka Burned Rotten Flesh) and I am glad that didn’t scare me off trying another Boadicea perfume. I am not yet convinced that they make *great* scents, but they are at least excellent (even Complex achieves an amazingly unpleasant effect), and the bottles are gorgeous (even better in reality than they look in their pictures), each scent with one of several Celtic inspired motifs rendered in thick lustrous metal.

    This is one mysterious understated fragrance. The quiet soothing dry down is the complete antithesis of the eucalyptus clinical blast opening of which I totally love! I must say the initial aromatherapy-like top notes dissipate rapidly….in a matter of seconds hence I am left with a soft refined albeit masculine scent – Intimately lingering on my clothes! Overall it’s way too masculine for my taste.

    Usually most perfumes houses in our days,use the word ”seductive” just to describe perfumes with lots of sensual vanilla,almond,spices,anything that have the power to awake senses. Seductive can easily be the sister of Explorer,or may I say the wife?! When Explorer smells like a ‘tough’ guy,Seductive can be the ultimate ‘conqueror’,still tough with a sense of a two-faced woman. Fir,pine trees,lots of resins and amber,that’s what I get.Eventually it gets calmer and more feminine.Very sophisticated and special.Lasts well too.P.S: Dont buy unsniffed.

    (This review is for Eau de Perfume)
    SEDUCTIVE is listed as unisex but I think it suits more for the male audience. With this thought in mind I convinced my dear husband who usually stays miles away from my perfume testing to actually try this one on.
    The opening blast is aromatic with balsam-like resins, fir tree needles and rosemary. We liked the opening. It reminded us of a pine forest on the crisp winter day. The heart notes on me turned out to be nice leather with a hint of musk. On my husband, the heart notes turned like stale pine needles. The fragrance went downhill for both of us after that. The dry down turned a bit sour on my skin. On my husband’s skin the scent stayed rather boring like a pile of decaying fir or pine needles.
    Perhaps this fragrance requires the right skin chemistry, which neither one of us have for this scent. I thought that the concept of this fragrance was nice but it did not live up to our expectations.

    Now that I joined Fragrantica I re-post my review of Seductive by Boadicea the Victorious.
    Oh wow! I bought this fragrance saturday and I can say it’s marvellous! A very masculine green-balsamic-spicy opening with a pinch of something like incense, an oriental, refined, intoxicating heart, a woody-dark base, Seductive is a very good example of all I want in a perfume. It gradually changes during a long time but conserves in every phase a sensual musky and resinous character. Very masculine but not rude, refined but not snob, classical and original at the same time. I think Seductive will remain for a long time in the closet of my favourite fragrances.

    I find the perfume really nice, very longlasting and the sillage is quite good. I can also find a lot of incense and patchouly in it. It is dark and the bottle is really sutable for the scent. The hole range is sniff worthy: they are all very loud at the beginning, but setteled very nicely. I can`not find so much flowers in it, not shore for the category- I would say oriental woody… Very special and sutable for both men and women.

    I met these perfumes from Boadicea teh Victorius by chance, after having being curious for quite a long time.
    As it often happens I stumbled in a beautiful perfume shop called Caleri in Genoa while I was there for work. I passed by the shop in the centre of Genoa with my group of work and my gaze got immediately catched by the familiar image of a big decorated bottle…
    OMG! Boadicea’s perfumes! This is what my friends call the perfumista’s gaze, LOL!
    I couldn’t stop right there because I was in a professional moment, but I carefully took the name of the street and fixed some reference points in a city I don’t know very well. Of course, I managed to find some time to spend at Caleri before going back home!
    As you enter Caleri’s shop you feel welcomed by a very soft, pure, elegant yet cosy atmosphere. The two blond super-kind ladies in the shop will make you feel at your ease and well advised.
    So this could be a great deal if you ever go to Genoa in Italy: a very interesting historical city close to the sea and great perfumes put together!
    Back to Boadicea… I tested 4 out of a good bunch and Seductive is one of them.
    I like to smell the tester spray first, then spray on paper, then on my skin.
    Seductive is a very special scent to my nose, but not one I would sport around easily according to my every day style, because it smells very resinous and very incensey in a strong yet mellow way. I would rather put myself into a vat of this perfume in a very private context!
    It is seductive indeed, but not in a girlish, standard way. It is confortable, warm, empowering, charismatic.
    Think of a very good churchy incense, which is not even listed here, I know, minus the usual cold feeling of incense plus a very forest-like background.
    All the other notes are very well blended and don’t show up one by one, rather they make a smooth symphony as a landscape. I noticed that all the Boadicea’s I’ve tried give the same effect: they start with a very clear strong note that makes you almost think it’s a soliflore (or solinote) then they go changing all the time as if they were “speaking” with your chemistry and not just sitting there like a guest on your skin as it happens to me with many mainstream perfumes.
    It has no man/woman connotation. It goes for everyone who enjoy it and it lasts for a very long time.
    The bottle is heavy and beautiful to hold in hands.
