WODE by BOUDICCA - NEW @ THE HUNTER
The History:
Wode, the revolutionary Art Fragrance from BOUDICCA, explores further the myth around Queen Boudicca (aka Boadicea).
Legend has it she and her tribe wore a cobalt blue war “paint” on their skin that gave them a ferocious and mythical look when
advancing into battle. When finally defeated by the Romans Queen Boadicea killed herself by swallowing hemlock, an extract of
which is included in Wode.
The Magic:
When Wode is sprayed a vibrant cobalt blue mist appears and settles on the skin or clothing. Whether touched or not the “paint”
begins to fade and within seconds or minutes disappears completely leaving simply the scent behind.
The Notes:
The fragrance opens with herbal spicy notes of juniper berry, cardamon, nutmeg absolute, clary sage, coriander seed and
angelica root. A touch of fresh hesperidic and lighter floral notes add airiness.
Through rare elements like black hemlock extract and the smell of raw opium, you will enter an olfactive space where saffron,
tuberose absolute, tonka bean, styrax resin, and treemoss slowly unfold round a musky leather heart.
Amber and animalic notes like synthetic castoreum and cistus labdanum deepen the lingering impression of warm and radiant
flesh.
The Word:
The name Wode is taken from the word “Woad”, a deep blue plant extract, which was used in paste form by the ancient Britons
as a tribal marking. Woad would have seemed magical to the Ancient Britons, as in its raw state it is a muddy hue and only
when exposed to oxygen did it turn blue.
The Packaging:
Wode is packaged in a classic spray paint can. Graffiti is the modern war paint, the most public of all art forms, while steeped in
rebellion and anti establishment values. Wrapped around the can is an engraved steel label tied with black braided ribbon
tipped in metal; a detail synonymous with BOUDICCA team’s highly refined finishing details on their garments.
