As a lover of Boss Bottled I switched to Boss Bottled Intense last year because I simply love the incomparable fragrance and the Intense version offers a better performance for me.

In the top note, an unmistakable apple and lemon, as we already know it from the Boss Bottled version. A fruity sweet fragrance for the young man (even still) of today. If you take a second nose after a while, the light clove and cinnamon come to the fore, which harmonizes wonderfully with the previous fruity notes and is rounded off by wood notes.

For me, Boss Bottled Intense is the adult version of Boss Bottled, a bit more masculine and multi-faceted, simply smelling a bit more complex than the Bottled version. Nevertheless, this fragrance remains youthfully warm and refreshing and it will find a place in my perfume cabinet for years to come. Not because it is absolutely outstanding, but because the fragrance, without being obtrusive, simply shows off its strengths and one of the sweet scents slowly caresses the nostrils while playing through the whole spectrum of its olfactory notes. This fragrance is like a good friend that accompanies you through the day without playing itself completely to the fore, but is still there when you need it.

A timeless classic for me. :)

If I give a comment to my newcomers, then I have to give it to my entry-level fragrance as well. Hugo Boss Bottled was my got-to fragrance for years and the reason for me to go further and deeper into the field of fragrances. Funnily enough, in my younger years before my 20s, I was absolutely not a perfume wearer. In the family it was not a big issue and I didn't pay attention to the world behind it. In retrospect a small tragedy but probably better for my wallet at that time :)

Hugo Boss Bottled is a timeless classic for me. The apple and citrus fruits are unmistakable on your face at the opening, simply an incomparable freshness combined with a wonderful sweetness. My bottle is now almost empty and I still love this fragrance and that after years! I have currently switched to the Intense version, because I just don't want to miss the fragrance, but the Bottled version is not durable enough. After a few hours, the scent is gone and you can only smell it near your skin. I think that is a pity, because the scent deserves to be smelled longer. Especially the cinnamon note, as well as the wafer-thinly perceptible clove, which merges into a wonderful vanilla note paired with sandalwood, make me want to spray my clothes with one or two blasts of water in everyday life. The fragrance will never get old for me, simply wonderfully balanced and not too intrusive, a wonderful mixture for beginners and in my opinion also wearable all year round! :)

The first 50ml bottle is almost empty and for good reason. From the first moment until now I love this perfume. It is fresh, masculine, adult and not too intrusive. The lemon lets you start the day in a fish and good mood, supported by the vanilla and tonka beans. This fragrance just doesn't get old

It was my first "real" perfume after Hugo Boss Bottled and it will have a place in my closet for a long time to come, because the new 2019 bottling cannot hold a candle to this one, in my opinion. The first time I wore it for a trip with my girlfriend, she couldn't keep her nose off me, because it smelled too good in her opinion. Only the sillage could be further and the durability better. During my vacation in Florence I had to spray more often to be able to permanently warn the smell. Nevertheless, this one will remain an all-time favorite of mine.

This is my first comment on Parfumo and I dare to go for the Invictus Legend. I do not yet own so many perfumes that I could now bring in a great deal of expert knowledge. A fragrance usually has to please me at the first go or inspire me to find its way into my closet. It's great how many possibilities you have to define yourself through a fragrance.

This scent, however, found its way into my closet via detours, because it was given to me by my girlfriend. I had only smelled it for a short time in the shop at that time, among many other scents and I can say that it did not stay in my memory. Of course I have worn the fragrance more often after I received it as a gift. I hated him at first. Too intrusive, too sweet and synthetic. I was used to wearing a fragrance like Bleu de Chanel. If you wear them one after the other, you will want to jump out of the window, because while Bleu de Chanel flatters you and gives you the feeling of leaving the house fresh, masculine and grown-up in a suit, Invictus Legend is the skaterboy who will run you over on the following sidewalk.

But I wanted to give the fragrance a chance and then used it more often over weeks and I must say that I like it better than I did at the beginning. Especially the durability is impressive, because even after many hours the scent is still clearly noticeable in the clothing and air. I'll have to spray again for other scents. It doesn't feel so obtrusive anymore, even though it is sitting heavily on the shoulder. It is like a friendship between old and young, where the old one gets to know the character of the young one only after a while. For older men, however, this fragrance is really not suitable, but it is too youthful for that. But it is definitely better than 6.1. For me, this fragrance ranks solidly with a 7.3-7.5. I think that he deserves to be given a chance to develop.
