Description
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.

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.
Concentration & Provenance
Parfum concentration, unisex, formulated and bottled in the United Kingdom by Boadicea the Victorious.
