BOSS BOTTLED

Sensual. Eccentric. Apple. Musk”

This scent is connected to a memory for me.

I smell this and am reminded of my summers in Portugal in the mid-late 90s. One of my cousins wore this scent and I was never able to figure out what it was until quite recently. For this reason I’m booking this as a “Classic”.

I have heard people refer to this as an apple pie scent. I get the apple part but it’s not a tasty apple to my nose. It has something in it that grabs your nose and makes you think “I’ve smelled something like this before but this is done differently.” And the truth is, if you’re like me, you have smelled this before. It smells like the rebellious brother of YSL pour homme. Whereas YSL is sweeter, Boss is more rebellious I’d say but stays within the family.

9/10 - A sentimental Classic juice that can be had for under $50. This is a must smell for anyone that wants to own a variety of fragrances.

Update:
I just had to say a little more now that it’s cooling off and this juice is (imho) in it’s prime element. You’ve probably worn or heard of colognes that exude confidence. I can’t tell you how much confidence this brings me when I wear it- especially at work. Also I’ve had time to think what I’m getting that tweaks the apple pie part of the scent and I think I’ve come up with it- lipstick! Hear me out on this because I think you’ll be on board. The scent seems to complement a variety of women’s fragrances quite well. For example, when you go out with your significant other, you may notice that her fragrance and yours will combine for a rather sensual scent bubble when you’re wearing this. Anyway that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

A touch of classic

The Boss bottled is a classic since the 90s. In the top note opens a very fruity bouquet! Apple, plum, citrus. Where you hardly notice the citrus. Relatively quickly, cinnamon and vanilla take over, so it gets spicy. The base note at the end goes slightly in the woody direction, you smell cedar, sandalwood. Overall, it must be said that this is rightly a classic, because it actually combines everything: sweetness, freshness, spice, woodiness.

The fragrance is an all-rounder. Suitable occasions are therefore from sports, everyday life, office over disco and dinner all. Sillage the first 2 hours neat, then it flattens typically for an EdT. Also the durability is not above average but only decent. Longer than a purely fresh, aquatic or citrus scent and shorter than a sweet, heavy scent ala Spicebomb. Price / performance top, because versatile and mostly pretty cheap

The dilemma of profiteering

Unfortunately, the classic Boss Bottled also seems to have fallen victim to profiteering. The fragrance itself I like very much and have this worn much in my teenage years 10-15 years ago.
At that time, 2-3 spritzes were enough to be able to enjoy a few hours of the beautiful fragrance DNA and was also perceived by others (positive).
For nostalgic reasons, I let me bring the fragrance a good 3 years ago from vacation as a small souvenir. Unfortunately, the brought bottle had such a poor durability and projection that I firmly assumed to have gotten a fake.
Since my girlfriend wanted to give me for my birthday like a perfume and the fragrance itself also like very much, I let me last year from her again give a bottle (bought at D.). But even with this bottle, the scent is despite a few sprays after 1 hour only skin perceptible.
The fragrance must have been reformulated over the years, unfortunately, in such a way that it is no longer suitable for me because of the miserable performance not even as a perfume for sports for 2-3 hours.
I think to myself in such a thing always, that the companies will already see what they have of it if the sales figures sink in the long term. I fear thereby however the consciousness of the masses to overestimate, because many are not at all so in the topic like us Parfumenthusiasten and buy the smell nevertheless or discover it only again.
For me, Boss Bottled today is unfortunately only a shadow of its former self and no longer worth the money.

Elegant companion of the years

I honestly resisted trying this perfume for a long time because pretty much every person in my circle dismissed Boss Bottled as boring since everyone uses it.

After a year, I then let myself get carried away and ordered a sample of the fragrance. The result can be described with a "WoW!"!

What a brilliant fragrance that reminds of a delicious apple pie erninnert, but always modern and elegant smells! I think the fragrance should not be applied at too high temperatures, everything below 25 degrees is suitable but Prima since he is already quite strong in the sillage!

There is a reason why Boss Bottled has become such a 4classic. It's just a unique, super pleasant fragrance that you should just have tested. The rumor that everyone wears this fragrance I think is wrong - I've never smelled him at least in my environment and am often asked about the fragrance.

Conclusion: Do not let other people confuse you, but always try to take a nose of the fragrance yourself, because if he is good, then he is now times good even if he now unfortunately seems a bit boring because almost everyone knows him and many wear him. But still always a good elegant companion throughout the day?

Classic or boring mainstream?

One of my first perfumes and for me still a classic. Sweet and fresh with tart apple notes, you can actually always wear. And I still like to wear it. Why do you wear it? Because it smells simply good on my skin, again completely different than from the bottle. It's happened to me several times that I didn't really like this scent on others. A good example that fragrances can smell very individual and also "mainstream" fragrances do not have to be boring. Ultimately helps only test yourself. The durability has unfortunately decreased with time. Nevertheless, less is often more, sillage yes, fog cloud no, too much of the sour apple just no longer smells good. Then rather discreetly reapply.

Entry into the perfume world

I dedicate my first review to Boss Bottled, which was my first real fragrance. It was the entry into the perfume world, back when I smelled him at a friend and me the first time so really thought about it.

About the history I can not really tell. I was too young at the time, but since I came across it about 3 years ago, I could never really part with it. I wear it every season and also for many occasions when I feel like it.

To the fragrance itself here my layman's opinion:

By that I like fresh and citrusy scents, I love the apple in combination with the plum and lemon. It's almost a perfect blend for me with the cinnamon and light vanilla. It's just a pleasant and light men's fragrance I find and that's what makes it so perfect for me to wear very often.

The only thing that "bothers" me a bit about it is the longevity & sillage. I do not have so much experience, but I hardly take the fragrance after 4 - 5 hours. I also find the sillage very subtle. (Which does not mean that it is badly meant, I find it very appropriate to the fragrance)

A fresh classic

When I smelled this fragrance for the first time I was on the road in Bremen. I was as in the Douglas to let me inspire something from the offers there. Then I came across this woody apple with a citrusy freshness. I tried it and was sold on it from the first impression. When I left the store, I had it with me. If you're looking for a fragrance that's not overbearing and fresh, this is definitely a good one.

The woody apple in the bottle

Boss Bottled - one of the great classics of office fragrances.

In the meantime, many times geduped and reformulated (sometimes bad, sometimes right) but for me still an absolute must in the fragrance inventory, despite all the hypes and cheap dupes, which unfortunately seem to be ubiquitous him at times.
He actually represents a fragrance category that is usually so not mine: the fruity-fresh. The Boss is here but an absolute exception. Here, everything is just right for me!

But now to the detail:

He starts apple-fruity-sweet and woody, but is still fresh in the process. With a look at the fragrance pyramid, this is also not surprising. Here is actually everything in it, which usually deters me to test a fragrance at all ;-) But the composition is just brilliantly balanced and dosed. Especially with its increasing woodiness in the drydown it convinces me.
Especially in the opening, he has a clear freshness vibe, but is not a "Freshi".

From about an hour it is still fruity dominated, but the various woods come through now.

From the third hour onwards, I think the top balance between fruitiness and woodiness starts to come through. Here I find him best.

From the fifth hour he is then "darker" and "more saturated". A "fruitwood scent." Spontaneous thought: "Excellent delicious!"

A fragrance that is especially suited to the transitional season or cooler summer days. In spring, it reflects the burgeoning fruit and in early fall, the apple season.

Its color is more yellowish like apple juice.

It is suitable for gentlemen in the age group between 20 and 50.

The performance is good. It lasts a long time and is also well present all the time. A discreet dosage is therefore appropriate. So he is ideally suited for everyday life and office.

Reformulations, cheap dupes, hypes .....egal! The woody apple in the bottle will remain one of my absolute favorites. Because it is what it is, In the 90s as well as today. THE Boss.

Familiar apple

Who does not know him, the apple scent of earlier days. I had him felt even always in my collection.

And true to today's advertiser Chris Hemsworth, the fragrance exudes a certain masculinity that still pleases today.

Who wants to demand a little more modern and durability from the fragrance, the better to reach for the Intense variant. It is from my point of view one of the fragrances with the one can not go wrong.

Said to be dead by many and somehow still there. To the fragrance itself, is to say the following for the few who may not know him yet.

He acts on me very confident and fruity fresh. Apple dominates certainly quite strongly and is rounded off with some lemon. In the base then still hide woody notes such as cedar and sandalwood. The sweetness he still gets reinforced with cinnamon.

What has happened to me with this fragrance many times, is that he is simply recognized. At least with the Ü30 ern. That is yet... it is called then. And usually comes then still afterwards: "I like!" From therefore certainly nothing bad.

But I would always make sure to get hold of him in the sale, or recommend the intense variant

Always in my collection

Since I can think and have interest in perfumes, I wear Boss Bottled, the apple note is for me the highlight, but I find it a pity that in recent years more and more the durability was lost! But will always be a part of my collection.
