Boadicea the Victorious Rose Sapphire Parfum

Description

Rose Sapphire is Boadicea the Victorious's tribute to the warrior queen herself, a fragrance built on the tension between femininity and fierce strength. The rose represents beauty and grace; the sapphire, clarity of purpose. Part of the house's Sapphire Collection alongside Amber, Violet, Carbon, and Tobacco Sapphire, it opens with cardamom and saffron before a Turkish rose heart softens into a long-lasting base of labdanum, benzoin, and myrrh.

How It Differs

Where Amber Sapphire leans sweet and Carbon Sapphire Supercharged leans dark and oud-forward, Rose Sapphire is the collection's classic rose-spice entry, closest in spirit to Almas Parfum, but built on ambery resins rather than true agarwood.

Scent Character

Woody: 31%
Warm Spicy: 21%
Floral: 19%
Rich Ambers: 13%
Sweet: 10%
Fresh: 6%

Translation: a rose-spice composition with a resinous, ambery base, despite an “oud”-labeled facet in some listings, there's no agarwood anywhere in the pyramid. The ambery depth comes from labdanum, benzoin, and myrrh, so we call it Rich Ambers rather than Oud.

Fragrance Pyramid

Top: Cardamom, Curcuma (Turmeric), Geranium, Saffron

Base: Benzoin, Cedarwood, Cistus Labdanum, Myrrh, Cypriol, Patchouli, Musks
