The root of the word lavish lies in old Middle English, meaning torrent, excess and profusion, implying an opulent abundance of things to dazzle the senses. Lavish by Boadicea the Victorious has a dazzling overdose of lemon and bergamot as it opens, before the cool beauty roses and orange flowers bloom. A sprinkle of piquant creamy nutmeg anchors the head and heart into a complex stylish base of smoky guaiac wood, amber, green and rooty with vetiver and moss. The name is a self-fulling prophecy, an abundance of juicy sun-glittered citrus, burgeoning blooms and a green smoky base that smells lacteous and comforting. The opening citrus mood, however, influences everything, making Lavish a sumptuous and sensual experience wrapped in beloved zing and brightness.
