Carbon Sapphire Supercharged

Description Carbon Sapphire Supercharged is one of Boadicea the Victorious's newest releases (2026), and easily its most polarizing. It opens with an intense, almost burning blast of pink pepper, saffron, and cognac before settling into a floral heart of Egyptian and Turkish rose shot through with leather. The base brings genuine Cambodian and Vietnamese oud alongside guaiac wood and crystal amber. Reviewers are split down the middle: some find it luxurious and unlike any other oud in their collection, while others describe the drydown as sharp and medicinal. If you gravitate toward challenging, animalic ouds rather than sweet or gourmand ones, this is built for you, if you prefer a softer oud, sample it first. How It Differs Carbon Sapphire Supercharged is the darkest, most oud-forward entry in Venba's Boadicea Sapphire Collection lineup: heavier and more animalic than Amber Sapphire's spiced sweetness, Rose Sapphire's floral warmth, or Violet Sapphire Supercharged's fruity-floral opening. Scent Character Woody & Spicy, built on real oud Translation: genuine Cambodian and Vietnamese oud anchor the base, paired with pink pepper, saffron, and cognac up top and a rose-jasmine-leather heart. No official accord breakdown has been published for this newer release, but the pyramid below confirms real agarwood throughout. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Baies Rose (Pink Pepper), Saffron, Cognac, Geranium, Rosewood Heart: Egyptian Jasmine, Turkish Rose, Bulgarian Rose, Kashmir Fusion, Leather Oud, Aromalide Base: Patchouli, Guaiac Wood, Sandalwave, Cambodian Oud, Vietnamese Oud, Crystal Amber, Musk Performance Projection and longevity are genuinely above-average: expect the intense opening thirty minutes to soften into a smoky, leathery, oud-driven drydown that several reviewers describe as verging on medicinal. This is not a subtle fragrance in its first hour. Best Occasions & Season Fall, Winter, and Spring evenings, for wearers who want an assertive, conversation-starting oud rather than an office-safe scent.
