Blue Sapphire

Yes. Blue Sapphire is available as part of Boadicea The Victorious gift sets. Visit boadiceaperfume.com/collections/gift-sets for current options.

Blue Sapphire sits in the ambery family. A rich rose and oud composition with dark, resinous base notes. It shares DNA with the grand tradition of Middle Eastern rose and oud fragrances, but with a distinctly British lightness from the citrus and sage top. Those who love sophisticated rose oud compositions will find Blue Sapphire compelling.

Blue Sapphire is fresher, more floral and more modern in feel, led by dewy rose, citrus and oud. 1907 is warmer and drier, with a spiced tobacco and amber character more reminiscent of classic amber-florals. Blue Sapphire works across more occasions and seasons; 1907 is more of an evening and cooler month speciality. Both are rich, complex fragrances, but they occupy quite different olfactive territory.

Yes, in cooler months, Blue Sapphire's lemon and sage opening is clean enough for a professional setting and the floral heart is sophisticated rather than heavy. The oud base does add warmth and some projection, so it works best in autumn and winter office environments.

Blue Sapphire is at its finest in autumn and winter, when the oud, amber and patchouli base feel most at home. The citrus and floral top means it can be worn in spring too. Very hot summer days are not its natural habitat.

Blue Sapphire suits both daytime and evening wear, making it one of Boadicea's most versatile fragrances. The bright citrus opening works well in daylight, while the deepening oud and amber base transitions beautifully into evening. It works for formal occasions, date nights, and colder-day office wear, though the oud makes it better suited to autumn and winter than summer.

Yes, Blue Sapphire was created in honour of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's 65th wedding anniversary, making it a deeply meaningful fragrance for anyone who wears it. The dewy rose and jasmine heart is lush and romantic, while the oud and leather give it strength and gravitas. Beauty and power in equal measure.

Yes. Blue Sapphire is unisex. The oud, patchouli and vetiver base give it a strong, earthy character that wears beautifully on men and women alike, while the floral heart adds complexity. If you appreciate ambery-floral compositions with real depth, you will find Blue Sapphire very compelling.

The base of Blue Sapphire is anchored by oud, amber and patchouli, with vetiver adding earthiness. After 2–3 hours, the fragrance deepens into a rich, dark, floral and the oud gives it gravitas while the amber and patchouli provide warmth and longevity.

The opening is a bright and herbaceous lemon and sage with a hint of saffron, giving a clean freshness. Within the first 30 minutes, marigold and orange add warmth and the floral heart begins to emerge, with rose starting to build over the citrus brightness.
