Tobacco Sapphire by Boadicea The Victorious

A flamboyant and addictive perfume, Tobacco Sapphire is part of the Boadicea the Victorious Sapphire Collection, along with Blue, Oud, Green, Aqua and Supercharged Blue. The smoky evocation of a bygone era of old-style wood-panelled fumoirs is tempered by spiced fumes and ambrosial blush of flowers, everything tinctured with oudy vanilla. Blue, Oud, Green and Aqua Sapphires are available in an indulgent luxury Sapphire Gift Set of generous 10ml sizes of the iconic bottles. 

Tobacco Sapphire radiates decadent fumes, resinous woods radiating from the base along with benzoin, cedar, sandal and guaiac woods, shrubby cistus, patchouli, musks and the all-important tobacco. The Boadicea tobacco has golden caramel facets mingle with honeyed hay, mosses and a whisper of singed paper. 

The tobacco is exalted with a trio of beautiful floral notes: magnolia, an amandine dose of heliotrope and rose. A flourish of Hedione creates sparkling refractive edges, then, as a spiced finale, anisic cumin and coriander infused with mandarin, incense and saffron open like a pungent parasol. Like the smoky jewel embedded in the centre of the bottle’s shield, this ravishing perfume smoulders and glitters with mischievous allure.
