Details & care

What it is: A seductive scent for men by BOSS Fragrances.

Fragrance story: An irresistible fragrance that leaves an enduring memory that lasts for hours. This BOSS men's Eau de Toilette spray boasts an exclusive ingredient from South Africa, the aphrodisiac maninka fruit, whose complex facets are reminiscent of rum and passionfruit. Set on a virile leather base, the effect of this fragrance for men is potent, original and never to be forgotten. The Eau de Toilette opens with the aphrodisiac, spicy scent of fresh ginger, giving a stimulating dose of energy to the man who wears it. In the heart note, the exotic sweetness of the African maninka fruit invades the senses. The smoky, addictive leather base note adds a lingering and very sensual warmth to this BOSS The Scent fragrance and conveys pure, magnetic masculinity. The bottle presents an evocative amber juice, set in a silver cage, as if capturing the spirit of seduction before its dynamic power is released.

Style: Warm and spicy.

Notes:

- Top: ginger

- Middle: maninka fruit

- Base: leather accords

Love it
Hugo Boss The Scent is warm, seductive, and sophisticated. Spicy ginger and fresh bergamot open invitingly, melting into rich maninka fruit and earthy leather. Smooth and long-lasting, it’s perfect for evenings and romantic occasions.

After a tart, slightly citrus opening with a fleeting hint of spice, this Boss number quickly becomes a dull, two-dimensional leather-and-wood scent. Inoffensive but unimaginative. The EDT does not have much lasting power, and projection is subtle. A soulless, generic man-in-a-suit-at-the-office scent. Masculine equivalent of mall-girl floral-fruity whatever. #hugoboss

Underrated

The Scent is a pretty easygoing, crowd-pleasing co
A nice winter frag. Opens with a warm, spicy hit of ginger and that unique maninka fruit. Think sweet with a rum vibe that settles nicely to a smoother leather and woody base. Really a pleasant designer fragrance

Good scent, great versatility.
Overall a decent fresh scent. Packaging a bit shallow. But the versatility is just awesome because it could be used for any season. In my opinion the bottle is really cool.

Just good
Hugo boss the scent is a really pleasant fragrance, easy to wear and for all seasons but I am not able to connect with it. Maybe I don’t see anything that makes it stand out from the rest. Longevity and projection are average. I’ll say it’s a good fragrance that it’s going to make you smell good but nothing else.

Wish it lasted longer!!
This fragrance is a very warm scent, but unfortunately is not very strong and doesn't last very long. The atomizer is good, and the packaging was good for a HUGO cologne. I just wish it lasted longer, but a good scent for an hour or two in the cold.

The Scent That Works For Everything!
A scent that doesn't get as much love as it used to, but it still works for every occasion. Moderate longevity and a unique smell I haven't found in other fragrances. Woody, fruity and sweet done right! And the price for this is a steal on discounters
