I’ll be honest, I’ve not tried the original Blue Sapphire so it feels strange to be reviewing Supercharged first - obviously I can’t compare between the two but this is a gorgeous scent. It absolutely screams power, strength and masculinity. Initially I get a huge burst of tart and juicy fruits, most notably sharp mandarin and sweet raspberry. A massively warm and intoxicating cardamom swirls around gentle touches of soapy rose and light jasmine, to reveal a dank and punchy oud note. The fruits seem to persist as earthy patchouli and punchy leather resonate, however the oud and cardamom dominate the senses. There’s no doubt this is a good perfume, great even. But does it smell like something that costs just under a thousand British pounds? No it does not. Who knows if they use real oud or not, I couldn’t seem to find any information on their website regarding their source for oud so I’m unsure - but what I do know is that despite how lovely this scent is it doesn’t smell like it costs more than £300 unfortunately.
Because of the price, I had to start with travel size of 10ml. From my own good feeling that this perfume gives and validation from those around me who truthfully complimented me, I went for a full bottle on discounters. Almost 40% from RRP. I am sure 100ml will stay a lifetime, potent as it is.
