Boadicea the victorious Energizer 100ml eau de parfum

The name of this dynamic perfume is a major clue to its striking fizzing personality. A glance at the notes suggests a robust citrus with grapefruit, lime and bergamot in a sunlit, buzzy opening. A scent of late summer gardens with a melancholic suggestion of impending Autumn in the faint rustle of leaves and wistful slow roll of clouds above. 

The heart of Energizer has another dose of citrus cocktail fun with acerbic lemon and a sorbet flood of orange. Rather than just mixing with the existing mood from those radiant top notes, there is a sense of mellow illumination, like that point in the day as late afternoon segues into the remains of the day, streets, gardens and rooms a mix of shadow, pooled light and blurred yellow shapes slowly fading. 

The greenness in the garden is sharper, notes of earthy vetiver and damp metal suggested by a rising veil of beautiful musks and the invigorating citrus surround. It is hard to not love this fulgent perfume, something about the moreish assembly of citrus fruits and foamy musk’s energizes the mind, body and spirit.
