Boss Bottled Night
Hugo Boss (2010)

Opens with a strong soapy scent, with lavender coming through as it dries down.

Projection and sillage are average. Longevity is around 8-12 hours in my experience.

I received this as a gift. Judging by the prices showing on the Basenotes website ads, this stuff is seriously overpriced. Smells more like $15/100ml than $50/100ml.

Overall a basic, inoffensive scent and poor value for money.

This one gets a lot of hate, but I don't really get why. It's essentially a night version of Boss Bottled. The lavender is evident, and adds a soapy and sweet quality. This accompanies the Boss Bottled DNA, and voila.

Now, personally it isn't my taste, but bad? Far from it.

The top notes with their birch leaves' hints of green and the rather standard-synthetic lavender are quite pleasant and on the bright side - as is this composition throughout.

The drydown adds a violet that is unusually light and bright - no dark brooding here. Flanked by a jasmine that is not at all powdery, and a perfunctory cardamom that only barely shows the typical characteristics expected from it, the floral dominance continues unabated.

I get moderate sillage, good projection and an excellent longevity of nine hours on my skin.

An agreeable spring creation that is less nocturnal than expected from its name, and too generic to convince, but that manages to deliver cheery positivity with medium quality without falling into vacuous blandness. Not bad, but never excelling though. 2.75/5

Average, pleasant, okay, not bad...........That's all folks!!!

Used to own and probably will again. Nice easygoing scent for work.

Starts off spicy and green. Violet comes in next, soapy and clean. As it keeps going further into the drydown, you get more of the sweet sandlewood but the light violet note persists.

This has a lot of notes throughout that I like and it performed very well. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Feels casual but could be worn throughout the year because it has a very clean feel.

Projection is good but longevity is excellent, lasts all day.
