One of the Unlimited reformulations that brings a scent down!
Paying less for more doesn't always work out!

If i had not gotten a 200ml for £45 i would be sending this back as the notes are not as advertised anymore. USC is still selling the green text version in the UK on their website but instead of creating a separate item page for the new reformulated version with black text only, they are both on the same page listing only the original's notes. The new box has written on it what the notes are with the black text version and are as follows.

The top notes have the mint and grapefruit replaced with Iced violet leaf. Then the mid has removed 2 of the notes and is only pineapple now. The base is sandalwood accord. That's all folks!

I thought it was strange the store was selling the 200ml in black text for £45 but only a 100ml of the green text is £75. There is no warning about the notes changing and i smell zero mint.

In the opening you get the iced Violet Leaf giving this cooling feel to it i guess to replace the mint which was actually one of the main notes i was looking forward to the most. Once the Violet is gone and it goes quick, you get left with the Pineapple which i do enjoy but I already own Club De Nuit Intense which has that strong Pineapple note in it. I guess if you don't like strong long lasting or strong projecting fragrances then this is for you. I personally don't like weak fragrances that last no time at all but with a 200ml bottle i suppose i will have plenty to keep refreshing myself with. lol.

Maybe if you layer this with something like Aqua De Gio Profondo or maybe D&G Light Blue Eau Intense or other similar freshies it could help with performance. I have yet to try that as i got some others i have been too busy enjoying at the moment but on a day when i am not busy i will try the layering and update this review with the results. Layering with Light Blue and Versace Man Eau Fraiche has had some success in boosting some of my other weaker fragrances making them perform like a beast. Another you could use it with if you love Pineapple is the previously mentioned Club De Nuit Intense to boost the Pineapple or the original it is cloning Creed Aventus. If you are someone reserved and don't like those strong type of fragrances but love Pineapple then grab the 200Ml deal on at USC for £45 while you can. Or if you wondered what Creed Aventus/ Club De Nuit smells like without the smokeyness to it again this might be up your street. So there could be an audience for this but i only see it as a layering fragrance tbh.

For those who love the OG again, USC is selling the one with the green text, so grab that while you still can. I unfortunately can't afford to keep buying the same things no matter if i got one cheaper while there are other fragrances i want to try out there. I just thought i would let people who love the original know that they should get the green text version while they still can.

The bottle is cool though, would have looked better with the green text though. That's what i get for trying to save money lol.

UPDATE:
After a long time of not wearing this i realized i have been harsh on this for it not having the advertised notes in it once did, but actually this smells really nice so i am raising its scent score. I should not judge things on what i thought it should be smelling like, and instead of what it is smelling like, and what it is, is actually a nice fruity, fresh fragrance with yes a nice sandalwood accord. If only it lasted longer. But yeah this is a very pleasant fragrance after all.

Value is average still though, because even if i am getting 200ml for £45 it doesn't last long, so if this was someone's signature scent they would go through it in no time. So keep that in mind. It is good for before going to bed if you want something nice smelling that won't go in to the morning though and yeah if you have a travel decanter it would be nice for through the day also.

What are we doing here?
I'll put up a disclaimer before I even do this review. I haven't smelled much from the brand other than the original Boss Bottled (which I also own) and this one. I enjoy the OG Boss Bottled. It's one of the most recognized designer fragrances of its time and is still used by a lot of people today. My problem is that when this scent was introduced to me, it was not under ideal circumstances. I was dating a girl around 2018-2019 and we had been at a Dillard's that day. I bought her J'Adore because that's the one that she said she liked the most. During this time, I wandered to the men's section and was smelling stuff and trying to avoid the sales rep at all costs because I knew what would happen. My girlfriend at the time starts chatting up the sales rep and one of the last fragrances she recommends is Boss Bottled Unlimited. My girlfriend put it on a test card, took one sniff, looked at me with a huge smile and told me to get it and to only wear it around her. Sounds adorable right? I learned a valuable lesson that day. Don't let your significant other pick your fragrances. In my case, our fragrance tastes were different but I agreed because I was expecting to be with this girl long-term and thought it would be nice to have a fragrance that reminded me of her. Strike 2. This would not be the last time she'd pick a fragrance for me (e.g. Versace Eros, Polo Red, John Varvatos Artisan). Lesson learned. Now it's review time and I can show you why you test stuff before you buy it.

The Smell: In my best imitation of Heath Ledger from the Dark Knight, "Here...we...go." To be frank, it smells like shower gel. For those that aren't aware of fragrance trends, this is a prime example. Brands do this mess every time. They'll find a trend and almost every designer on the market puts out something to match it. We had the "white" trend (which Boss Bottled was a part of), the "blue" trend (e.g. Dylan Blue, Bleu de Chanel, etc.), the "red" trend, and I could just keep going but you get the gist. I owned Lacoste white at one point and guess what, they smelled VERY similar. I prefer Lacoste white over this and this is why I hate trends. Once one fragrance does it, every fragrance that follows after, unless they pull it off better, looks like a copycat. Regardless the reputation of the brand, if you don't match that bar or exceed it, then it's a wrap. Boss Bottled Unlimited smells generic. Easy to wear, no thought process required here. It's linear and what you spray on initially is what's going to stick around for the lifespan. You look at the note breakdown and you think you are gonna get all of that? If you said yes, incorrect. You get the citrus, fresh-out-of-the-shower smell. Nothing crazy. Citrus, cinnamon, musk. Done. My biggest gripe to close out my ranting is that I was going on a date with this same girl the following weekend. I just took a shower, got dressed, and sprayed this fragrance on. I went to sniff it and I kid you not, I was confused. I could not tell the difference between my shower gel that I had JUST used and this stuff. Welcome to my dilemma, ladies and gentlemen.
Rating: 5/10

Projection: Since I rambled in the last section, we're gonna keep this one much shorter. Projection is fair. Almost arm's length projection for 2-3 hours and then that rapidly decreased to a skin scent. Wore it to work when it was stupid hot outside too and thought I'd get a little bit of a boost to make it look respectable. I was wrong in so many ways. Didn't change a thing.
Rating: 4/10

Pricing: Pay attention because this will be the best rating this fragrance gets this entire review. It's like a candle in the wind. A flicker and then it's gone. Depending where you look, you can grab this fragrance for CHEAP. I'm talking less than $40 USD cheap for 100 mL which is insane value for money. On the BOSS website, it's $115 dollars for 100 mL ($1.15 per mL). Looks good on paper right? I wouldn't do it, especially when you can grab it on other sites for as low as $37 USD ($0.37 per mL). See the difference? If you can grab it for cheaper, I highly recommend it.
Rating: 10/10* (if you can get it cheaper) / 9/10 if you pay full retail

Versatility: Thankfully, this is an area Boss Bottled Unlimited scored much better for me. You can throw it on basically any time you want. You are as limited as your imagination here. You can make the argument that it doesn't fit the criteria to "dress it up" but if you're confident, you can wear whatever you want and it'll be fine. Don't be fooled thinking only high priced fragrances can be used for high scale events. That's a trap. Don't fall for it and wear it when you feel like it. My only knock against it (this is me personally), it doesn't perform the best during cold weather. Not to say you can't wear it because you absolutely can. Just don't expect the performance to stand up to the elements.
Rating: 8/10

Final Verdict: 6.7/10 by the numbers. Objectively, that's what the fragrance receives. Subjectively, I give it a 3/10. The fact that I let another person pick fragrance for me without me even sniffing it first on multiple occasions means I'm clinically insane. Never again. You can keep a receipt on this one and reference this review specifically. I will never let my partner pick for me ever again without me smelling it first and I am in the same store with them. If it's bought as a present, different scenario. At this point in my fragrance journey, I want to push the boundaries and smell new things and not follow market trends. Boss Bottled Unlimited, to me, is pretty generic. Forgettable. It's sad because the OG Boss Bottled was excellent and this was several steps back. I've heard (unsure about credible sources though) that the recent releases have been better. I've learned my lesson and will test it this time.

Scents I Should Have Never Tested, No. 1
Scents I Should Have Never Tested, No. 1

I hear this damn loud whistle. Then it suddenly goes completely quiet. We are in the year 2014. More precisely: July 13th. And even more precisely: It is 10:44 PM. I don't have a watch with me. That's actually forbidden. But I can see it quite well on the stadium clock. I am wearing a white jersey. A white jersey with a red chest stripe. And my shorts are white too. They are shorts because it is pretty hot in Brazil at this time of year. Damn hot.
I am not standing alone on the field. No, I have brought ten of my teammates with me. At least nine of them are also wearing this white jersey with the red chest stripe. One of them has brought a blue jersey with a broken shoulder. Let him be. He has to wear gloves in this heat anyway. He is pretty dumb: his name is something like "Nine" and he has a "One" on the back of his jersey. Can't even count properly. Oh right, there are the others. The other players are wearing yellow T-shirts and dark shorts. But there is also a guy with gloves among them. However, he doesn't have anything wrong with his shoulder. I was told that these others didn't have such a long journey. They are from Brazil. And they really want this trophy. So do we. And that's why we are now in this World Cup final. We have been "busting our asses" for almost ninety minutes - excuse me - and this stupid ball hasn't gone into the net even once. Annoying, right? And in this heat. We should have maybe taken a different ball. Not the one I got recently when I picked up my new fragrance. But more on that later. Oh right, there was that whistle. From that guy over there, who is dressed completely differently than us. He has a whistle and has brought colorful cards with him. He showed them to one of my teammates just a few minutes ago. The whole crowd in the stands shouted "black pig." He hasn't shown them to me yet. But I don't have time for card games right now. Because one of our players, who also advertises this fragrance and otherwise plays for a club that also wears yellow jerseys, had the ball and ran into the penalty area. And then a guy in another yellow jersey came and tackled him. Pretty nasty. Oh right, then the guy with the whistle put it in his mouth. And everyone shouted: "Penalty!" Suddenly, one of us handed me the ball. That's fine, because after all, I was the one who got this ball for free with this fragrance. So I am supposed to shoot. I place the ball on that white spot and think: "Damn hot here. At least I applied my new fragrance again during halftime. In this cool white bottle. It matches our jerseys pretty well. Just missing the red chest stripe." I think about what the saleswoman told me: "Boss Bottled Unlimited impresses with carefully selected ingredients that create a modern, fresh variation of the classic masculine fragrance Boss Bottled. A motivational boost full of freshness and lasting energy. This fragrance impresses with a distinctive mix of refreshing mint and evergreen cistus, combined with juicy grapefruit and the long-lasting flair of masculine woody notes. These unique ingredients combine to create a refreshing, aromatic-masculine scent that underscores the energy and uncompromising dynamism of the Boss man." That gives me courage. Because this opposing goalkeeper Carlos Yatagan looks pretty grim. Now just a quick check of the fragrance: Well, at first it smelled quite refreshing like mint. But somehow a bit artificial. There are such beautiful mint scents. I once had "Menthe Fraîche" by Heeley. That was a super-natural mint. But here? Well, at least it reminds me not to forget to brush my teeth. Certainly refreshing. But somehow also artificial. This mint quickly became a bit sweeter. And also fruitier. More like sour pineapple. Supposed to be grapefruit, apparently. I had something else like that before. A fragrance that was supposed to remind of a warrior from this English manufacturer. There was also pineapple in it. Something like "Aventus" was written on the bottle. Those were the days. When I wore that, I often couldn't close the cabin door because of all the female fans. And I couldn't close the door of my shorts either. But: That pineapple smelled completely different. So totally fresh. Not sour and not from a can. But the guys from Creed didn't give me a free football. At least something. Why would they? The people from Creed are English. And, you know: The English aren't too good at penalty shooting...
The referee comes up to me and says: "What are you waiting for? Just shoot already!" Easy for him to say. If I score and then lift the trophy afterward. I have to smell good. One last quick check: Yes, now I smell some woods. Quite okay. And also something that smells spicy. The saleswoman said something about "cistus." Oh dear, I hope I didn't catch a "cistus" on my "labdanum." That doesn't sound good at all. It must itch like hell. But, whatever. I am ready for the shot. For the shot that will make me a world champion. The hero of a whole nation. I run up, I shoot and... and... the goalkeeper catches the ball. Damn! Now I should quickly "fragrance" myself!

White Charmer!
Yes, it has something. Right from the first spray, it had me hooked. Because something makes this flanker incredibly attractive, and quite cleverly...

Boss Bottled Unlimited starts off super fresh with a seductive mix of citrus fruits, mint, and violet, which instantly spreads good vibes and lasts a long time - like a friendly, enduring smile. Because even though the intensity of the mint fades a bit and after about 30 minutes the warm woods come through a little more, it retains its fresh-fruity flair until the end.

Aside from a hint of cinnamon and a certain warmth, this underrated flanker has hardly anything in common with the original Bottled, which I find somewhat musty and sluggish in direct comparison. In contrast, the BBU is a lively whirlwind that comes with an unwavering cheerfulness thanks to its friendly assertiveness. Its bright fruit offensive simply makes it attractive, lasting about 6-7 hours (on a shirt), with good projection and a reliably linear scent progression.

Conclusion: The mega-fresh mint-violet-fruit mix of Boss Bottled Unlimited is unusual and attractive. Those looking for a distinctive sweet-fresh spring/summer fragrance will do well with this white charmer. Because it simply has something...

Pitiful Pina Colada Shallowness
Actually, I wanted to walk past it in the store because I suspected what olfactorily awaited me from Boss (and then also this creepy- antiseptic bottle).

I should have done that. Another completely unnecessary juice of shallowness.

The slim ingredient list above hints at it - a pineapple-mint mix, wavering, somewhat artificial. Smelled a hundred times. There’s not much more to it. Flickeringly indefinable, fresh like a cheap shower gel.

No one really needs this.

To my nose, it smells exactly like Only The Brave by Diesel. Fresh, synthetic, sweet and a bit leathery.

Green Text: fresh, surprisingly long lasting, and headache inducing at the start. Shines during spring. For leisure, open office or sports
