BOSS SELECTION Eau de Toilette, 100ml

Product Information

Classic, serious, straightforward, and elegant, the BOSS Selection man is focused on his goals and being successful and balanced in his personal and professional life.

The patchouli is in there, but very much masked by the citrus notes that stop it from becoming heavy or cloying. The magnetic woody dry down of patchouli, vetyver and facets of cedarwood, is rounded by the softness of heliotrope and modern musky notes creating a smart, authentic signature. But because of it’s versatility, you can wear this one more or less whenever you like, whatever the season. Boss Selection begins with a lively, bright top of fresh green notes, fizzy hesperidic grapefruit and mandarin, infused with spicy pink peppercorn.The scent is very stable, but unfortunatelly, almost all Hugo Boss' chemistry is too strong for my skin and body, I can spray it only to my hair. If you like the pink pepper note here but want more force behind it, reach for Hugo Energise instead.

Founded in 1925 by Hugo Boss for clothing launching purpose, Hugo Boss is a German luxury fashion house. The woody drydown is made of patchouli,vetiver, cedarwood, heliotrope and transparent musky notes, all together accentuating the masculine character of this fragrance. The problem is it's barely there, I have to say it peaked my interest, transitioning absolutely so that's something at least. Since then they've given us one very good scent - Dark Blue, a competent scent - Orange for men, and then the rest has sat somewhere between ok (The Scent) to pure garbage (Selection).

I say that because I liked the opening then I hated the mid of this fragrance and now it's dried down to a whimpering skin scent it actually smells really good. It suits a suit and tie but also a casual night out at a good restaurant, all in all a good scent for any man to have. It's an unlikely fragrance for a first review, but somehow it's a scent very well suited to the weather at the moment - gloomy, chilly and windy. If I could have the smell (during the first hour) and have it last for 7 hours, this would skyrocket along the same class as my other favorites.
