Ideal fragrance for spring or autumn, very average, for daily wear and the office. Nothing elegant, very casual. The scent is rich and clean but has no personality. It didn’t displease me, but I won’t buy it again; I think there are office scents like this at a better price and better quality.
What I like most is its opening: a mix of freshness wrapped in a very pleasant warm vanilla. As hours pass, it becomes a bit more generic and I’m less interested. Still, I appreciate that in the advertising campaign the models appear smiling and not hypersexualised or with a lobotomised look. Also, almost all are dressed in clothes you’d wear to the office, and that’s exactly what it conveys to me: something easy, daily and without pretensions. Both the sillage and longevity are fairly moderate.
Few reviews for this perfume, but it’s worth highlighting that it’s potent with an effervescent opening that moves to a woody accord with a very pleasant fruity sweetness. It has good performance: three sprays and it lasts all day with considerable sillage. It’s fairly linear, but that woody and sweet scent is intoxicating. The plum is soft, the vanilla too, and the woods are well harmonised. It has no annoying notes; it’s harmonious. It’s perfect for romantic and modern women. It’s not a classic scent; it’s quite avant-garde. Anick Menardo blends the fruity notes with woods very well here; both she and Hugo Boss have done a good job. An ethereal and standout perfume.
I absolutely loved this fragrance. I don’t think it will go down in history as the best or most innovative, but it has special performance and a special scent, very spiced. The opening is quite fruity and generic, but over time it becomes intense, spiced and with a unisex touch that makes it really interesting. I must say I took a huge risk buying it blind in 80ml. Anyway, I would do it a thousand times over.
For me, this fragrance is a real treat. I don’t think it’s quite the masterpiece or the most innovative in history, but it has a special performance and scent, very spicy. The opening is quite fruity and generic, but over time it becomes intense and spicy, with a unisex touch that makes it very interesting. I took a huge risk buying the 80ml blind, but I would do it a thousand times again.
Love at first sight: it’s fresh, sweet and has good longevity. You can’t ask for more.
It smells good, although it’s undeniable that it’s nothing innovative. I suppose that, as happens with many fashion brands lately, Boss didn’t want to take a risk. The opening is fruity with vanilla, highlighting a pleasant but generic plum. The dry-down is more interesting: white floral, spiced and woody with character, although it’s not novel and resembles YSL Libre a lot. Anick Menardo has done a good job; it’s a nice perfume, suitable for any day and very long-lasting, but it’s not something I would buy. Rating 6.5/10. Longevity 7.5/10. Sillage 7/10. Value for money 7/10. Versatility 7/10. Packaging 6/10. I wouldn’t buy it.
Oh! How many expectations did everything I’d heard about this little perfume generate. I’m sorry to say they all dissolved on a blotter and then got buried on my skin. I assume it’s just not for me, but the journey on my body is a sweet and vanilla opening where spicy pepper notes soon become visible… and literally after ten minutes, I smell like room deodoriser. I’d rate it as my second disappointment of the year, right after L’Interdit Intense.
Although Alive isn’t a risky gamble, it caught me off guard. At first, it smells of alcohol and is slightly masculine, which put me off, but then it softens into something fruity, sweet and fresh with a metallic and powdery note that didn’t quite convince me. The real change happens later: the apple and alcohol blend into a cider scent with ozony touches, very nostalgic of 90s perfumes. In the heart, it reminds me of Boss Orange, but here the apple and plum take charge, with a touch of sweet cinnamon and spice. The best thing is that it lasts a long time, around eight hours in my case, with a trail for the first four. It’s youthful and carefree, ideal for quiet days or semi-formal gatherings; the name suits it perfectly.

I love it, it’s sweet, but I don’t find it long-lasting. I bought it blindly and I like it a lot… but on my skin I only notice it at the beginning. It has a different scent, I can’t explain it, but for me it’s good.
It reminds me of Exotic Orchid by Victorio & Lucchino, but more refined, woody, dry, and unisex in the dry-down. Both share blackcurrants, sambac jasmine, and vanilla. While the V&L one stays fruity and juicy for longer, becoming slightly sweeter at the end due to almond and vanilla, in Alive the fruits are eclipsed by the woody and cinnamon accords. I like it, it’s pretty but nothing extraordinary. Cheerful, informal, pleasant. Almost certainly if you like one, you’ll like (and love more) the other.
I have mixed feelings. It’s not original, but I enjoyed the sweet and fruity opening, especially when the cinnamon takes centre stage. An hour later, the overly sweet vanilla regains ground, and in the dry-down it smells like Provencal kitchen spices that last 6 hours. I suppose the thyme doesn’t work on my skin; if I were to use it, only in mild seasons and informal settings. Pleasant: 5/10, Interesting: 6/10, Versatile: 7/10, Original: 7/10.
From Alive, it’s cinnamon and more cinnamon, with lots of sweetness that clogs the mouth… It’s warm, perhaps for very cold winters. It’s not one of my favourites and I wouldn’t buy it again.
I wore it today and although it smells nice, its longevity and projection are terrible. It reminds me of ‘Memorie d’una Odeur’ by Gucci, perhaps due to the aromatic shrubs, chamomile, thyme, sandalwood, cedar, and jasmine. Both give me peace.
It strikes me as strange. I know that wearing it won’t make me blend in; I feel exclusive. I don’t want trendy fragrances to stand out, so I loved ALIVE. At first, I detected lots of jasmine with wood, which is shocking for someone who prefers sweet scents. As time passes, the sweetness becomes overpowering and the vanilla lingers. It lasts around 5 hours and isn’t as strong anymore.
It’s Laguna by Salvador Dalí with a different name and bottle. It’s rich, well-vanilled, and a soft gourmand. It’s not heavy, but I wouldn’t wear it in summer; it suits autumn or early spring better. It has good projection: I applied it to my wrist and walking through the centre, I could hear it as if someone was carrying it, it lasts quite a while and is still noticeable even after a shower. Laguna does the same at a lower price and my mum always wore it. It’s lovely but not original.
I was keen to try it because I’m a fan of Emma Roberts 😬😂, but honestly, I wouldn’t buy it. I tested it in the centre and at first it smells like grapes or wine, I suppose those are the blackcurrants. Then the vanilla and cinnamon become unbearable and even gave me a headache. Definitely not for me.
Fruity, woody cinnamon, and a hint of thyme that sometimes lingers. I wore it to my new job and love it; it makes me feel good and reminds me of my longed-for V/S Versus. I know not everyone likes woods, but outside of work, the criticisms don’t hold water.
Not for me. I tried it because the perfumer recommended it, not by my own choice, and I didn’t like it at all. It smells like a mix of Zara’s fruity notes with something woody and cinnamon, creating an aroma I absolutely dislike.
NOT FOR ME. I tried it because the perfumer gave it to me, not by my own decision, and I didn’t like it at all. It’s like a mix of Zara’s Fruity with something woody and cinnamon, but it creates a scent I absolutely do not enjoy.
I thought it attractive because of its pyramid. I tested it on dry skin and on skin. I always test on skin, but with Alive I had to test on dry skin because on my skin it was unpleasant. On dry skin: sweet, fruity and vanilla opening, waiting for the cinnamon. Plums and blackcurrants fused with apple acidity, then the thyme. It’s not subtle; it seems to have a branch stuck to the nose; the spicy woody note of the grass is noticeable. The base is intense, sweet woody, but ends dry and bitter. On skin: nothing to do with it. It’s a chaotic disaster. Synthetic vanilla and cinnamon like liqueurs that end in a very strong medicinal nuance. That’s all I notice. Although it smells good on dry skin, I won’t buy it due to incompatibility with my skin. Performance is excellent: more than 8 hours on skin and more than 48 on dry skin.

I like it very much; it’s elegant and sweet without being cloying. I see it as perfect for autumn, winter and spring. I wore it today with 80% humidity and it worked wonderfully, no headaches at all.
I bought it after trying a sample and I’m a huge fan. It smells of vanilla and sweetness without being cloying. It smells divine, elegant. It’s one of my favourites. That thyme note on my skin gives it a special touch. Pity it doesn’t last long and leaves no trail.
I love it. Although they don’t say so, I detect a hint of coconut between the soft vanilla and cardamom. It’s superbly crafted. It’s sweet, yet I wear it wonderfully on very humid days; the vanilla is exquisite and doesn’t overwhelm, unlike other vanilla perfumes.
I wear it and receive compliments. It has a subtle, elegant sweetness, and as it dries down, it leaves a powdery trail that I adore. It’s my third bottle and my signature scent. I live in Colombia, a tropical country, and the weather is never so hot or cold that I can’t wear it. I’m looking for something like this—powdery but more sensual for evening.
Sweet and vanilla with cinnamon woods. You can tell there’s fruit in it. I like it very much for a woman; I tried it and found it quite interesting. My sister wears it too.
It’s one of my favourites; I’ve bought it again. It’s sweet and cosy, nothing cloying. I feel elegant when wearing it; it was my signature scent for a long time, but bear in mind: it won’t work if you’re looking to stand out or want strong scents.
Boss Alive Eau de Parfum: My experience. I was surprised, even though it’s not super innovative. From the start, the opening is lovely: sweet, fruity, creamy, with that vanilla touch I adore. The best thing is that it lacks that harsh alcohol hit that sometimes ruins the first few seconds; from the beginning it feels warm and well-made. On my skin it lasts quite a while; after 4 or 5 hours I can still detect it, and although it softens afterwards, it remains. In a world where so many perfumes disappear within half an hour, this is a great success. When I buy a perfume, I want to enjoy it and feel it, and with Boss Alive that is exactly what I get. Is it super original? No, but it’s not always necessary. It smells rich, has good longevity and makes me feel good. For me, that is enough, and that is why I have liked it so much. I would definitely use it again without a second thought.
Boss Alive EDP: It has surprised me, even if it’s not revolutionary. The opening is lovely: sweet, fruity, creamy and with vanilla, without that harsh alcohol hit that ruins everything. It feels good from the very first second. On my skin it lasts for hours; I can still smell it at 4 or 5, though softer. In a world of perfumes that die quickly, this is gold. I want to enjoy it and with this I do. It’s not original, but it smells rich, lasts long and makes me feel good. I would buy it again without hesitation.
Spicy, woody and sweet. I don’t understand the complaints because to me it’s a dream. It smells like a road trip weekend with a pumpkin spice coffee, warm and comforting. It wears well and is perfect for the office.
