Boss Bottled Parfum by Hugo Boss

A perfume that is, by definition, good. It smells elegant and is perfect for evenings, formal events, or special occasions, especially in cold weather or on chilly nights. Regarding longevity, I’d say it’s mid-range, lasting about 6-7 hours, which is fine. It doesn’t smell bad to me, and since it’s from the Bottled line, it’s my favourite.

A woody fragrance for cold climates. It doesn’t tell me much. It comes out very rich, then the scent transforms into something woody. Perhaps it reminds me of Oud perfumes, and although it’s not listed, it passes perfectly as a similar one, with that burnt leather note remaining at the end. It smells good but nothing extraordinary. A 6.5 out of 10.

Interesting and characterful. It smells like a mature man and seeks impact. If you have a refined sense of smell, you’ll notice the cedar, that classic wood from ‘mortgage-paid’ perfumes or older people; a cured leather but without being intrusive, and that fig note that reminds one of other commercial scents like D&G K EDP or Kenzo EDT Intense, although here it stands on its own. Longevity and trail exceed the average, and I see it as excellent in semi-formal or work environments. Don’t buy it blindly because the blend doesn’t suit everyone, but give it a chance. I liked it; it’s a traditional woody with that semi-sweet herbal fig touch plus leather, ideal for a man over 30 who wants to smell different. P.S.: It betrayed me with memories of Montblanc Emblem and the Kenzo I mentioned; draw your own conclusions 🤝

A fragrance that screams ‘man’. At first, it smells sweet and fresh, but in minutes, it shows its mysterious side. To me, it seems strong and invasive; I usually wear it at night, in fresh or cold weather. Don’t use it in summer or on hot nights. The trail is noticeable, and a lot so; in enclosed spaces, it can overwhelm. Longevity is excellent, over 5 hours feeling it all the time, then it drops but remains very present. I would buy it again only if I find a good price, as it’s usually expensive in Argentina. I paid for a set at around $200, saw it drop to even less than $150. I wouldn’t pay more, although this isn’t an Arabic fragrance (and some cost more).

Tested and discarded. Fresh opening with the mandarin, which on my skin doesn’t smell like mandarin, it’s simply citrusy. The incense combines a bit, but in my case, I notice it lightly; the fig leaf is moderately noticeable, and it’s quite woody with the cedar. In my opinion, it’s not a bad aroma, not entirely bad, but I see it as simple and vulgar for what it costs; I don’t pay anything for this. Moreover, I hate the fig leaf note and fig in perfumes, although it doesn’t stand out much here. There are many better ones from the Boss house; to be the Parfum version, it’s disappointing. As for longevity, it’s normal. I wouldn’t recommend it; it’s a daily perfume without more, nothing stands out or enchants, and I doubt anyone thinks much of it. Don’t buy blindly, or you’ll get a terrible rip-off. My rating for this Boss Parfum: Aroma 4, I don’t even give it a pass; it neither fulfils nor stands out. Longevity 6, not bad, although spraying more than 12 projects little more than close to the skin. Projection 4, and being very generous, the truth is it doesn’t project a damn thing. Price 3, for what it offers, an extremely poor value for money. You decide, logically everyone has their tastes.

I don’t know why it’s so underrated; I absolutely love it. I tried it in a shop and it smells incredible—very masculine, with long-lasting wear—so I’ve already bought it online.

So different from the original Bottled, which is both its best and worst feature. Don’t buy it expecting to recall the mother essence, as it doesn’t have them; instead, it’s so seductive and solid that you won’t miss the original. It has a magnificent incense opening that settles into something elegant and sensual. I love the blend of leather and orris. It works well as a signature in cooler seasons and is even better for a date. Good performance; it easily reaches seven hours of personal bubble with a moderate trail. Highly recommended. Rating 8.5/10. Batch August 2023.

A masculine fragrance that smells of quality: fine incense, leather, and a touch of sweetness. It’s not for everyone if you’re coming from scents like Invictus or JPG; it’s more in the style of Bvlgari Black or Carolina Herrera Prive. I wear it with a biker jacket and boots, and it looks perfect.

I’m a woman; I bought two female perfumes online and they sent me a male one 😁. This is a bombshell; it smells incredibly strong and I don’t dislike it, but even though I think perfumes have no gender, when I wear this, more than one person looks at me strangely because it smells very ‘manly’… they sent me this and Eternity Aromatic Essence, and I preferred the latter. I can’t speak as a man, but if I smelled a boy wearing this cologne, I’d love it.

It’s like Dior Homme but fresher: starts citrusy, evolves into wood and leather, and that oriental touch with incense makes it unique, even if the performance isn’t the best on the market.

Typical of the moment: iris, leather, and everything else. If you already have something in the style of Dior Homme, this is redundant and nothing new.

Not bad, but it doesn’t stand out in any way.

I didn’t like it at all; even with a small amount, it can give me a headache. Better for night wear in the cold, never in the heat. It lasts a long time but is barely noticeable on others.

I tried a sample I was thinking of giving away because I’m not a fan of the Bottled line (I only tolerate Marine). I sprayed some and loved it. I totally agree it’s not the original EdT (which I can’t stand). It seemed rich, attractive, and pleasant, slightly sweet despite the notes not explaining it. Average longevity.

I would wear this perfume like a Peaky Blinder 🔥👍🏻
