Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum by Hugo Boss is a woody spicy fragrance released in 2016 and composed as an intensified interpretation of the original Boss Bottled from 1998.
As far as I can remember, the original edition was one of my earliest “gateway drugs” into the world of perfumery, which I have covered in the most important fragrances that got me into this hobby.
As you may know, not even five years since its release date, the Intense Edp version is already discontinued, but still regularly available via retail or fragrance discounters. Previously released Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Toilette is also nowhere to be found as well.
Here are my 5 quick takes:
1. Old school fragrance that is still wearable today
2. Best used in colder months as a daily scent
3. Released in 2016 as an updated version of Intense Eau de toilette
4. Fantastic value for money at this time
5. Synthetic and kinda flat composition lacking the notes that made original great
The scent profile of oriental spicy notes is dominated by vanilla, cinnamon, and green apple. The performance is much better than in the current original Eau de Toilette version with 8 - 10 hours with moderate projection.
Due to the timeless scent profile, I see it as a versatile fragrance usable in almost any scenario. Great for gents over 30 years of age.
