Blue sapphire Boadicea the victorious 100ml eau de parfum

Blue Sapphire by Boadicea the Victorious is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Blue Sapphire was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Christian Provenzano. Top notes are Lemon, Chamomile, Sage, Saffron and Marigold; middle notes are Rose, Indian Jasmine and Magnolia; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Patchouli and Amber.

Part of the magisterial Sapphire Collection of gem-inspired creations, Boadicea’s Blue Sapphire perfume is a dewy floral, rosaceous and piquant with oud, sparkling lemon and herbaceous marigolds. It was created in honour of the 65th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, blue sapphire being the celebratory gemstone. A swooning heart of dewy rose, jasmine and creamy magnolia is backed with supple leather. 

Sapphires symbolise loyalty, devotion and happiness rather appropriately. This is an intensely floral perfume in a rich blue bottle with a swooning heart of dewy rose, jasmine and creamy magnolia. A beautifully composed bouquet is presaged by a piquant lemon top note, the apothecary vibe of chamomile and tagetes. All this flavoured by the basmati scent of saffron. 

There is a supple spine of leather in Blue Sapphire that links the fresh gin and tonic citrus sparkle and a compelling dark oud and amber base with a satisfying patchouli earthiness. A delicate hint of dark chocolate flickers up through the lush floral heart, up to that dynamic herbaceous overture, giving Blue Sapphire a resounding magisterial feel.

In keeping with its celebration of longevity and commitment, Blue Sapphire has remarkable staying power, allowing a fulsome appreciation of a fabulous perfume.
