Trying the first from my latest sample haul from Boadicea. It's 25-30 degrees so I am trying the Oud Sapphire. It already has the "Wife Approval" stamp for today!! I'm liking it as well. Definitely not overpowering, but it is sitting well and consistent Here's what ChatGPT can tell you. Oud Sapphire – Boadicea the Victorious Fragrance Family: Leather / Floral / Warm Spicy Gender: Unisex, leaning opulent and regal Style: Luxurious, deep, powerful, refined Concentration: Extrait-strength Eau de Parfum Oud Sapphire is leather-forward, polished, warm, and richly textured. It blends floral elegance with a refined oud and a soft smoky undertone, creating a powerful yet regal presence. This scent feels like walking into a room with high-end leather, glowing amber light, and velvet drapes. ⭐ Scent Profile — Full Pyramid Top Notes - Saffron – warm, spicy, extremely luxurious - Iris (buttery, soft, powdery) - Floral top tones – likely rose/jasmine lift - Soft citrus spark (quiet, almost undetectable) The opening is smooth, leathery, floral-spicy elegance — no harshness, nothing sharp. Heart Notes - Leather (very prominent) – polished, refined, slightly smoky - Oud (clean, woody, Western-style) – adds depth but remains smooth - Warm spices – cardamom, cinnamon, or saffron warmth - Iris – buttery, powdery elegance - Soft musk – clean, sensual This middle phase is where Oud Sapphire becomes stunning: Leather + oud + iris + warm spice = opulent luxury. Base Notes - Woody notes – dry, warm, supportive - Musky undertones – smooth skin-like warmth - Animalic nuance – extremely subtle, adds richness - Benzoin/Amber (likely present even if not listed) – soft glow - Smoky hints – elegant, not heavy or burnt The dry-down is warm, leathery, floral-spicy, and deliciously smooth. 🌿 How Oud Sapphire Smells (Plain Language) Picture: - A perfectly tailored leather jacket - Inside a candlelit room - Warm spices in the air - Velvet chairs and polished woods - A soft iris powder note adding elegance
