In the works for years now, Boudicca’s WODE has been launched. The Art Fragrance from Boudicca explores the myth around Queen Boudicca. Legend had it that she and her tribe wore a cobalt blue war ‘paint’ on their skin to frighten off their enemies. When the Romans defeated Queen Boadicea, she killed herself by swallowing hemlock, an extract of which is included in WODE.

When WODE is sprayed a vibrant cobalt blue mist appears and settles on the skin or clothing and then disappears. Through rare elements like black hemlock extract and the smell of raw opium, with tuberose absolute, tonka bean, treemoss and animalistic notes like synthetic castoreum and cistus ladanum you get the lingering impression of warm and radiant flesh.
