Boadicea the Victorious 2023 EDP
Oud Sapphire
Boadicea the Victorious Oud Sapphire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Oud Sapphire opens with Pepper, Saffron, and Ambrette, settles into a heart of Leather, Oud, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Iris, and Styrax. Boadicea the Victorious's Oud Sapphire carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
This is a bold, divisive scent for those who love leather and oud, but be warned: it might need to settle after transit. Some find it a masterpiece of luxury, while others are less impressed with the 'medicinal oud' or the high price. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right wearer.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Oud Sapphire is too overpowering for office wear. It truly shines in formal settings and on dates, where its commanding presence and luxurious leather-oud profile can make a memorable statement, especially in cooler weather.
