Boadicea the Victorious Carbon Sapphire Supercharged Parfum (Tester)

Description

This listing is the Tester bottle of Carbon Sapphire Supercharged by Boadicea the Victorious, same fragrance, same concentration, sold with a plain cap and simplified packaging. One of the house's newest releases (2026), it opens with an intense, almost burning blast of pink pepper, saffron, and cognac before settling into a floral heart of Egyptian and Turkish rose shot through with leather. The base brings genuine Cambodian and Vietnamese oud alongside guaiac wood and crystal amber. Reviewers are split: some find it luxurious and unlike any other oud in their collection, while others describe the drydown as sharp and medicinal.

Scent Character

Woody & Spicy, built on real oud

Translation: genuine Cambodian and Vietnamese oud anchor the base, paired with pink pepper, saffron, and cognac up top and a rose-jasmine-leather heart.

Performance

Projection and longevity are genuinely above-average: expect the intense opening thirty minutes to soften into a smoky, leathery, oud-driven drydown that several reviewers describe as verging on medicinal. This is not a subtle fragrance in its first hour.

Fall, Winter, and Spring evenings, for wearers who want an assertive, conversation-starting oud rather than an office-safe scent.
