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

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.

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.
