Scent description (editorial impression)
A collector of over a hundred colognes never lets this one run out, and their wife sprays it on her pillow when they travel: ginger, a fruity maninka that one owner likens to passion fruit, and a soft leather, in a smooth, office-safe warmth. Critics find it sweet and flat, projecting barely more than a shower gel, and one asks whether men are now meant to mutate into gummy-fruit creatures; reported wear falls between two and six hours.
Drawn from 23 independent reports across 2 venues.

More from Hugo Boss
BOSS Bottled Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Simply the office fragrance, to one 2012 reviewer, and one wearer's colleague asked who smelled so pleasantly of fabric softener: baked apple and cinnamon on woods and vanilla, threaded with geranium.
HUGO Man Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). For several wearers this was the first real aftershave, the canteen-shaped flask of 1990s school discos, and an owner in their late fifties still wears it.
BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). The evening twin of BOSS Bottled, which the house ties to a wood called Louro Amarelo; wearers pick out lavender, violet and a smoky birch, and one first met it in an uncle's office years before buying a bottle.
BOSS Bottled Parfum
Parfum / Extrait. Warm Pepsi and potpourri for the first four minutes, one tester writes, then a sexy drydown; many meet mandarin peel and incense giving way to a milky, jammy fig, powdery iris and cedar.
BOSS Bottled Elixir
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Incense and cardamom rise first, smoky and dark, before cedar, patchouli and a resinous sweetness close in; one owner ends on something like dark chocolate.
BOSS Bottled Infinite Eau de Parfum
Eau de Parfum (EDP). Green apple opens it, cut with cinnamon and mandarin, before lavender, rosemary and an olive-wood dryness carry it to a scrubbed finish that owner after owner names shower gel, some in praise and some with a shrug.
BOSS The Scent Eau de Toilette is filed under
Spicy
