Boadicea the Victorious Green Sapphire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Green Sapphire opens with Violet Leaf, Saffron, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Pine and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. Boadicea the Victorious's Green Sapphire carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
