Andraste is 🔥🔥🔥. This sample is absolutely breathtaking, and I'm already planning to wear it to an upcoming holiday event. It's one of those fragrances that makes you look forward to a special occasion just so you have an excuse to wear it - definitely full bottle worthy, imo.

I feel it is a feminine fragrance

I know Boadicea the Victorious aims for all their fragrances to be "unisex". I've now tried all their current products, and for me some seem better suited to a guy, some for a gal, and some are truly unisex. This one, to me, was clearly more feminine. This is a sweet and floral fragrance - certainly in its opening. Study all the notes if you are interested, but I would think of this as a gift to a woman of any age to wear a perfume. Beyond that I don't know that I'm qualified to comment.

I was lucky enough to receive a 2ml sample of Andraste as a gift, and it is a fascinating piece of art. It doesn't follow the typical perfume rules. The opening catches you completely by surprise with a sharp, herbal blast of eucalyptus, thyme, and this highly unique, smoky Lapsang Souchong tea note. Just when you think it’s going to stay dark and moody, this gorgeous, elegant rose and iris heart comes forward to soften everything up. The dry-down settles into a beautiful, expensive-smelling leather and incense base that leans perfectly unisex. Even from this tiny vial, the complexity is undeniable. It's atmospheric, completely unconventional, and an absolute must-try if you like bold fragrances
