by Hugo Boss
Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum is a rich, warm, and slightly fruity fragrance centered on a sweet apple-cinnamon-vanilla accord, with supporting notes of clove, sandalwood, and cedar. It opens with a refreshing, juicy green apple and citrus note, united with a subtle orange blossom, before deepening into a spicy, creamy core dominated by cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. The dry down reveals a smooth, woody, and slightly vanilla-scented base that gives it an elegant yet cozy feel, making it especially suitable for cooler seasons. Its performance is generally strong, with good longevity lasting 8–10 hours on skin and up to 12 hours on clothing, though some users report a shorter lifespan under specific conditions. Projection is moderate, creating a close, intimate bubble around the wearer rather than a long-distance scent trail. The fragrance is widely praised for being a step beyond the original Boss Bottled, offering a deeper, more mature, warm, and well-blended profile over a synthetic base, which appeals to many despite its gourmand quality. It's considered safe and versatile for office, formal, and casual wear, especially during autumn, winter, and spring. Though some find it overly sweet or synthetic, most agree it's pleasant, timeless, and stands out among similar designer fragrances.
