Green Sapphire

Boadicea the Victorious Green Sapphire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, Raspberry, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Pine and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Cedar.

Our verdict on Green Sapphire: Acquired

Green Sapphire is a divisive one: a beastly woody fragrance that blends masculine confidence with a surprisingly creamy, sweet edge. Some find it a regal masterpiece, others a petrol-like assault. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office.

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Green Sapphire is far too potent for office wear, which aligns with community feedback calling it 'overpowering' and 'not office friendly'. Its luxurious woody accords and unique raspberry-pine blend make it best suited for formal and evening events, where its robust presence can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.

About

Imagine stepping into a dense, ancient forest after a light rain, where sharp pine and dry cedar mingle with the soft, almost sweet powderiness of violet leaf and a hint of juicy raspberry. As it settles, a luxurious, warm cashmeran emerges, blending with creamy sandalwood to create a sophisticated, textured woody embrace with a subtle musky depth. Hints of saffron add an exotic, spicy warmth throughout, grounding the green freshness.
