Fresh day scent
I've been eyeing this Bottled Flanker for some time. Bottled is the cash cow from the house of Boss with sooo many flankers. Of course, one uses the fame of this classic, which it already is after more than 20 years. For me the Bottled is an extremely good fragrance and rightly in many bestseller Top10. But the scent doesn't interest me very much anymore, because many people wear it. I don't like to wear the typical bestsellers, if at all. But I find flankers that are not too similar to the original or are much fresher very exciting. Here you get both. A fresh bottle, which does not remind too much of the original. In the blind test I would not have thought that this is a flanker.
Before the test/purchase I never had these big wow expectations. I don't always look for it either, because I like to smell fresh for a normal working day without big allyrs and without being a big tease. After a few tests I can say: this fragrance is very well suited for this. An all-year-round fragrance, which is especially characterized by its pleasant freshness. Even if it does not cause much of a nuisance, it has already recognition value.
Perfumer Annick Menardo has done handicrafts here and has already shown in many creations that she can do it. Also here a great solid work. This is a well-balanced mix of fruit, wood, spice and pleasant soft-sweet notes. At the start you get a lot of apple, refreshed with sage, just like the original. Sage is in my eyes a great fresh note, which sounds unspectacular but provides wonderful freshness. Here too. In addition a pinch of cinnamon, which gives it a great sweetish spice. Especially the olive wood from the base gives it a soft and well-groomed touch. Especially from hour 2-3, this fragrance is very fresh and woody with a pleasant spiciness. The apple-cinnamon combo is very much in retreat. You could call it a shower fragrance, which in my opinion is nothing negative. But this scent reminds me more of a bath in a nice blue bubble bath. The freshly groomed touch is successful especially great for the early morning hours after the morning care.
The performance is good. The shelf life of approx. 10 hours is very good. The sillage is good in the beginning, after 4-5 hours it is moderate but still well perceptible.
Altogether a great release, which convinces with pleasant freshness and good performance. For fans of very extravagant fragrances not really something, but for people with a preference for simple knitwear a good choice. One will surely notice positively with, because there are hardly people who will not like this smell. An evergreen, but not an option for special moments, just like this whole Bottled series.
