Defender, from Boadicea the Victorious was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is Kamila Lelakova. It has the top notes of Cognac, Ginger, Grapefruit, Honey, Licorice, and Red Fruits, middle notes of Hay, Myrrh, Night Blooming Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Labdanum, Leather, Musk, Peru Balsam, and Tonka Bean.
This is an absolute banger!. Smells like a white floral, smooth honey. Not the sharp kind you find in Guerlain Tobacco Honey. This fragrance oozes with class and boardaline gourmand elegance. Truly a dressed up scent. Drydown has a slightly nutty creamy effect. Not sure what's causing that but definitely welcomed.
