Boss Sport Hugo Boss 1987 Eau de Toilette

There are simply the ideal days for a particular fragrance. Today, for example, was one such day: sun-drenched, filled with warmth, spring unfolds its splendour. And yet you can still feel the freshness of the season. The first half of the day is marked for hours by the coolness of the night. A hint is in the air. Boss Sport is recommended on such days.

I think the unpretentious appearance of this fragrance is a boon. There's nothing fake here. Boss Sport serves up a spicy aromatic green spectrum that is both complex and transparent. The balancing act is successful throughout, even if the individual phases of the fragrance's development are quite different.

The freshness is moderate and pleasant. In the first few hours, a restrained sweetness that skilfully provides variety. Later, mossy aspects predominate, before the fragrance fades away in subtle bitterness.

1987, half an eternity ago. I wallow in nostalgia, which likes to transfigure things. And yet I dare to say that it was a great success at that time. Fresh, green, unagitatedly composed, binding in its statement. A coherent concept that still convinces me today. As if made for early spring days, when everything seems possible.
