Boss Selection Hugo Boss 2006 Eau de Toilette

In the 70s, polyester, nylon, and viscose were permanent guests in my wardrobe. You could find shirts with large patterns and extremely long collars there. The shirts were cut so tight that as a child, you would have had to feel claustrophobic. The colorful collars were worn over a solid-colored wool vest in sky blue, sunny yellow, or grass green. Neon colors only came into fashion in the mid-80s and wouldn’t have fit into that flowery era anyway. I remember that while playing, we often flipped up the collars because our faces disappeared so nicely behind them.
I also loved the turtlenecks that, when you got really warm, would tickle and scratch at your neck until your skin turned red. And lastly, there were the fantastic flared trousers under which you couldn’t see any shoes, or to which you sewed a trim with floral patterns when the legs grew faster than the waist (which was certainly possible as a child). Anyone who can’t imagine such clothing should attend a Schlager-Move.

But there were also 2 or 3 pieces that I loved. White shirts were among them, which had no natural fiber indications on the label at all. The great thing about these shirts - according to my mom - was that you didn’t need to iron them. If you did, and the iron was too hot, it could happen that the shirt would stick and shrink into little black plastic beads. I briefly considered whether I wanted to conduct the experiment secretly, but I decided against it. These shirts fit like a second skin, which didn’t bother me at all. I wore them often and happily, always until I started to sweat. After that, it was unbearable…

No, Boss Selection smells anything but like sweat-absorbing polyester shirts. It smells 100 times better, but is just as close to the body. The sillage is hardly noticeable, which makes this scent an excellent office fragrance. It doesn’t "rape" the colleagues but captures them like a gentle breeze. The overall concept of the fragrance corresponds to the well-known jack-of-all-trades and fits every type, at any time of day or night, in any place, in any season, and in all conceivable decades. Despite its calmness, the scent is not simple or cheap. It is much more finely and elegantly nuanced and smells sophisticated and noble: a suit fragrance that also goes well with a blazer and jeans. I wear this fragrance whenever I can’t think of anything better or don’t want to stand out.

But for those who do want to stand out, I have a tip: Don’t use any fragrance (not even this one), no deodorant, and don’t wear an undershirt. Just slip directly into the polyester shirt and put a wool vest over it. Then walk up and down the street twice. I swear to you, after that you will have attention - albeit not the kind you would like to have.
