Boudicca BOUDICCA Wode

Instantly impactful, Wode is the ultimate scent for expressionists – fiercely erotic, with a richly sensual radiance, it’s the latest creation from ‘nose’ Geza Schoen; the genius behind the world-famous Escentric Molecules range. Incredibly complex, with a multi-layered structure, Wode’s warm, voluptuous heart is shot through with resins and woods that evoke shadowy northern forests – making it the perfect fragrance for a woman who knows her own mind and has courage of her convictions. Its name is derived from woad – an intense blue plant extract used by ancient Britons to paint themselves with tribal markings. “Scent too marks you as one of a tribe” says Zowie Broach of BOUDICCA, “but its uniqueness is that it marks you invisibly.” This tribal quality is reflected by the packaging; the distinctive bright blue box (designed by Me Company) features tribal tattoo patterns, laser-etched into a micro-textured foil for an exquisite, hyper-modern take on luxury.

A collaboration between cult British fashion brand BOUDICCA, and the team who brought us Molecule 01, Wode is a complex, multi-layered fragrance that hinges on the depth and mystery of oudh. With a subtle sexy, smokiness that lingers long after it’s spritzed, it’s heady and exotic – beginning with a symphony of juniper berry, coriander seed, pink and black pepper and bergamot, which gradually gives way to the smouldering heart of opium accord, jasmine, rose, black hemlock, tuberose and cumin. The base – which thrums with a sensual woodiness – is a blend of sandalwood, cedarwood and guaiacwood alongside amber, musk, leather and blond tobacco – simultaneously warm and cool, feminine and masculine, resinous and fresh, this is a fearless fragrance fit for heroines.

This is a fearless fragrance - just one spritz will linger long after it's sprayed, to herald your arrival and prolong your departure.
