Iceni

Just as the Iceni rose up against their oppressors with Boadicea at their head, so the perfume of that name stirs thoughts of insurrection and rebellion. The uprising starts stealthily, as Elemi delivers its soothing balsamic touch, but soon there is jasmine and neroli, nutmeg and ginger, and the momentum becomes unstoppable. Driven on by the dusky notes of cashmeran, payrus and myrrh, the conquest is complete. Without doubt a modern classic, Iceni remains firmly rooted in a glorious past, evoking a heritage founded on bravery, liberty and justice.
