About Boadicea the Victorious Hanuman

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.

Hanuman is a 2016 release from Boadicea the Victorious for women and men. The composition opens on bright citrus, lemon and bergamot framed by orange blossom and a hint of black currant, then moves into a white-floral heart of osmanthus, neroli, magnolia and cyclamen, and settles on a woody-amber base of vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, amber and musk. The result is a citrus-led floral that rounds into warm woody and musky tones, with clear fruity and aromatic facets. The fragrance holds a strong community rating (4.22/5 from 575 votes) and about 51% of voters mark it as a favorite.

Our take

I love the initial lemon and bergamot lift that quickly softens into creamy neroli and osmanthus; on my skin Hanuman smells clean, semi-sweet and lightly fruity before dropping into a warm vetiver/cedar and musk base. Longevity on me trends long and projection is usually moderate, which makes it friendly for daytime wear. My main gripe is the price, and on rare occasions I notice a faint synthetic edge that some others have reported, but the overall balance keeps this one in regular rotation.

A Closer Look

The Bottle

Hanuman gives Boadicea’s ornate front a more playful centre. Pale yellow-amber liquid shows through the rounded body, while a gold-coloured circular panel frames a lively monkey figure inside its interlaced border. The tiered cap keeps the familiar house proportions, and the transparent lower section stops the decoration from feeling too dense. It’s theatrical, but not solemn, which makes this version stand out among the more formal designs. The figurative emblem gives Hanuman a clear personality and makes the bottle feel connected to the fragrance’s name.

Original or Clone

Hanuman has earned a place worth taking seriously: four interpretations from three houses attempt its citrus, floral and woody character. That attention makes it a reference point rather than an obscure release, while the monkey emblem and gold-coloured front panel give the original a memorable physical presence. For readers deciding between this release and an interpretation, the original is the better-supported choice; choosing an interpretation remains reasonable, but it means choosing something defined by its attempt to be Hanuman.
