Defender is the magnificent incarnation of Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni, embodying her enduring legacy and serving as a potent reference for the brand. Launched in 2024, this fragrance opens with a rebellious burst of zesty ginger, bright grapefruit, and intriguing swirls of dark licorice. Notes of honeyed cognac intertwine with red berry compote and hints of kirsch, creating an intoxicating first impression. The heart introduces solar orange blossom infused with the sensual warmth of skin, leading into the centerpiece of night-blooming jasmine — a narcotic flower with heady, intoxicating imaginings. This lush heart is supported by an alluring accord of earthy myrrh and hay absolute, a subtle nod to Boadicea’s pastoral childhood, farming wheat and barley. The base unfolds into a deep and sensual composition of tonka bean, Peru balsam, red amber, labdanum, musk, leather, and benzoin, leaving a warm and resonant trail. Defender is a fragrance of courage and legacy — bold, sensual, and unforgettable.
