It’s hard to be surprised by a perfume when the brand is just out to make a sale. I get the business, but not everything is about money. Boadicea keeps releasing new scents and losing credibility; in 10 years they’ve launched over 150, the joke tells itself. ➡️ Nefarious is a rose with a touch of peach (don’t expect something sweet) and saffron that defines the composition. If you don’t like saffron, it’s unlikely this will stick with you. It’s all built on an amber and musky (synthetic) base. It’s unisex, though it leans slightly feminine. Performance is good, projection is moderate, and quality is decent. It’s not bad, but it feels redundant; I wouldn’t rank it among their top 10. For those who know Guerlain’s Santal Royal, Nefarious is similar, and I wouldn’t dare say the quality is better than Guerlain’s. YSL’s Splendid Wood is very similar and it’s a tough fight. What Boadicea sells for hundreds of dollars, YSL and Guerlain offer at a lower price without sacrificing quality (in this scent, yes). Would I buy it? I don’t need it and I already have a previous one (YSL) that I like more. Would I use it? Not really. I’d only recommend it if you find it at a great price or in small milliliters if you don’t own anything in this style. That’s all.
