Read more about Complex ▾
Complex by the British house Boadicea the Victorious is a fragrance for men and women released in 2008, signed by perfumer John Stephen. It belongs to the leather family and brings together leather, incense, sage, resin, frankincense, oud, basil, violet and musk.
The Story of the Fragrance and the House
Boadicea the Victorious is a luxury British niche house named after the warrior queen Boadicea, known for its ornate metal bottles and rich, long-lasting fragrances.
Complex was released in 2008 by perfumer John Stephen. Its name means something made of many interconnected parts – a leather fragrance that blends sage with smoke and oud.
How the Scent Evolves
It opens with an herbal touch of sage and basil softened by violet, then quickly dives into a luxurious smoky leather that recalls classic smoking rooms.
Over time incense, frankincense and resin emerge, before it settles on oud, musk and warm leather, leaving a trail close to the skin for many hours.
Leather and Incense
Complex offers a luxurious blend of leather and incense: the leather gives it a bold classic character, incense and frankincense add refined smoke, sage and violet give the opening a soft herbal touch, and oud and musk add depth that makes the fragrance complete.
Longevity and Projection
Complex has strong longevity that lasts for many hours, with moderate to strong projection.
For the best longevity, spray the fragrance right after a shower on moisturized skin – hydrated skin holds scent longer than dry skin. Spraying it on clothes and hair also makes it last longer and leaves a clearer trail.
How to Pair It With Your Look
This fragrance suits formal looks, evenings out and elegant winter clothing.
