Rose Sapphire

Boadicea the Victorious Rose Sapphire is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Rose Sapphire opens with Geranium, Turmeric, Saffron, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Immortelle, Neroli, and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Patchouli, Musk, and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha. Boadicea the Victorious's Rose Sapphire carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A divisive, opulent rose amber that proves some things are worth the price. While some find it underwhelming, for others, Rose Sapphire is a warm, spicy masterpiece, a more delicate, less 'burning' alternative to classic rose powerhouses. Not for the faint of heart or light of wallet.

About

Rose Sapphire opens with a bold, spicy embrace of turmeric, saffron, and cardamom, quickly settling into a rich, heady Turkish rose heart. Immortelle and neroli add a nuanced sweetness before the fragrance descends into a deep, luxurious base of labdanum, patchouli, and myrrh, grounding it with an earthy, balsamic warmth. It's a plush, incense-laden rose, underscored by woods and a hint of musk.
