Green Sapphire

Green Sapphire by Boadicea the Victorious is a deeply woody fragrance with a complex interplay of pine, cashmeran, cedar, and a subtle hint of raspberry. It opens with a sharp, spicy burst of saffron and violet leaf that feels almost leathery, before settling into a smooth, creamy base of sandalwood and cashmeran. The scent carries a distinctive warmth and dryness, like a freshly cut pine forest or a smooth, well-worn wooden desk. Performance is exceptional, with extremely long longevity and strong sillage that lingers for hours, even after washing clothes. This is not a subtle perfume—it projects powerfully and commands attention, making it best worn in the evening or in colder seasons. While marketed as unisex, it leans strongly masculine, with many noting its bold, regal profile that some find polarizing. The scent transforms over time, becoming softer, more powdery, and more delicate in the dry down. Some experience it as resembling oud, though no oud is listed in the notes, which may cause confusion among users who expect that accords. The fragrance suits those with a taste for powerful, intelligent woodscents with strong presence, and those who appreciate a sophisticated, mature scent that commands focus.
