A new Chinese year, a new fragrance from Boadicea This Chinese New Year, succumb to the aura of Aurica 2020 celebrates a Chinese New Year dedicated to the first of all zodiac animals – the smart and savvy rat. Symbolising sensitivity to the emotions of others, innate creativity and an ability to adapt at speed to new environments and opportunities, this auspicious new era is being celebrated by the arrival of an enigmatic new pure perfume from Boadicea the Victorious. Aurica is said to create an almost indefinable aura around the wearer, embodying the very essence of understated sensuality with its perfect counterbalance of a fragrant floral heart featuring rose, tagete and the subtle depths of Cambodian oud, with undercurrents of amber, moss and musk, while peppy ylang and pineapple lead the high register. The effect is light yet long lasting, delicate yet distinguished, sweet without being sugary. On the classic Boadicea bottle, the handcrafted pewter crest captures the flexing form of the time-honoured rat, finished with a burnished golden hue to complement the golden year of the Chinese horoscope. A special perfume for a special phase of the zodiac cycle, Aurica can be found exclusively in Russia and online. |
