Naxos on steroids
Boss Bastard was one of my first 3 ATH samples. I wasn't familiar with the typical ATH DNA beforehand and to say that this fragrance was a relatively harsh introduction to this great house is putting it mildly.
It is very strong, especially at the beginning. Basically, you have a sweet Naxos version in which the citrusy top notes are so overkill that it blows away all your synapses. Similar to Club de Nuit Intense Man Eau de Toilette, this evokes a slight toilet stone association in me. However, this develops after about 30 minutes and becomes milder. But the "Boss Bastard" is persistent and continues to annoy you for a few hours :)
It only earns its 5/10 with the subsequent drydown, which finally releases the pungent citrus and which I really can't fault. But even here it doesn't come close to its big brother Naxos.
I can reassure anyone who, like me, is starting out with this fragrance in the ATHs. Because in my opinion, this is by far Aaron's worst work that I have been able to test so far. For me, unfortunately, it's just a badly blended Naxos on steroids :(
But well, whoever finds the Naxos too weak??? is welcome to give it a try. You won't have too little attention with it, especially in closed rooms, even with 1/2 sprays.
