We have to look serious now!

Project meeting on Monday morning.
I am stuck in the meeting room with 15 participants, a mix of Hugo Man and Jacobs' concoction hangs in the air. The two women in our group look helpless and olfactorily overwhelmed, staring blankly into space.
In such a homogeneous mess, no wars are won! I need to take action if I don’t want to drown permanently in this scent stew. So I need a fragrance that is anything but floral, fresh, and sweet.

With this requirement, I eventually landed on BVpHE. However, I could only approach this scent theoretically. No retailer near me could conjure a bottle from the drawer.
When a suitable % promotion went online a few days ago, I just had to buy it blindly.

The first spray startled me a bit. Oh, this one hits hard. The top note is already very present and, for my taste, a bit too "Extreme." Very spicy and woody, but fortunately not resinous. After about 1 hour, it quieted down and became very pleasant to wear. The spicy-woody aspect remained, but it no longer comes across as aggressively.
As time goes on, the wood is replaced by leather. For several hours, a leathery spiciness remains, which does not overwhelm the environment. I easily last over 8 hours!

The plan for next Monday looks different accordingly. Freshly motivated, and with the support of BVpHE, I will grab a strong espresso before the project meeting. I’ll bring the two ladies a latte macchiato. I will arrive a bit earlier and secure three seats at the end of the table. On the window side, the Hugo's with their filtered brew can take a seat; there, it can also be quickly aired out. And if the mood stinks too much, I’ll have a quick threesome with the ladies, or what do you call a group of three people?

Bottega Veneta pour Homme Extrême is, for me, the ideal "I have to look serious now" scent. It somehow radiates confidence without coming across as too dominant. Just a masculine base to show the other Hugo's who the real boss is here.
The ladies don’t seem to find the scent extremely sexy. One colleague said, "I don’t mind." So no ladies' panties will be flying. At most from the male colleagues who have made themselves comfortable out of respect for you. But that’s exactly how it should be!

"It doesn’t help if the perfume is called Boss and you still smell like Hugo..."
