Quite Acceptable
Of course, this is a so-called designer fragrance, and I usually don't like them. But this one was surprisingly good. Perhaps a stroke of luck among the many different yet so similar Boss perfumes.

I can't quite relate to the listed fragrance notes. For me, it revolves around synthetic musk, but maybe I'm mistaken about that as well. As a perfume for everyday use, it is definitely recommendable.

Trend not missed
White is the new black. This is not just a statement, it is a fact. Smartphones, cars, furniture, clothes, everything, even milk sells better when it is white. Who should recognize this trend better than a big fashion label? Why not wrap the crowd favorite 'In Motion' in a white garment?

I really like this silky matte, soft white with the orange belly band and small orange belly button. It also feels good in the hand. However, like many white items of daily use, the signs of wear are unfortunately hard to overlook; greasy fingerprints become immediately apparent. Therefore, the testers in perfumeries often look quite dirty, which is not a real invitation to want to test the fragrance here.

Fortunately, the scent is just as I imagine it. A not too offensive variation of the original, the original character is not betrayed. Still, there are enough different accents to make you want to have this fragrance if you like it. There is a bitter, not too sweet blood orange that subtly supports the basil with spicy-green notes. Pepper and cinnamon create aromatic peaks time and again. Vetiver provides the necessary earthy-woody anchoring. All of this is solid craftsmanship, but one searches in vain for surprises or even revelations.

One also searches in vain for the fragrance after a mere four to five hours, as it has then disappeared. The sillage is quite decent until halfway, although fortunately not intrusive. However, the longevity is disappointing; the too narrow base cannot hold on after the blood orange has evaporated and dies a quick death.

With the bottle, you are fully on trend - if only a bit more attention had been paid to the scent and its longevity. But as a sport fragrance, it’s okay.

WOW white longing
So here's a comment from a lady:)

I gifted this fragrance to my boyfriend!
I bought it blind because I liked the regular motion and the white one looked even more beautiful and was on sale. I am very happy with this purchase! I love the scent so much! To me, it doesn't smell really sweet. Maybe a bit sweetish! An everyday fragrance.
It's so cozy and warm! It smells different from the regular motion. Somehow cleaner and creamier... just white!
It has something unique! I recognize this scent immediately! And I can't get enough of it!
Simply a wow fragrance for me! To me, it smells warm, as if there is musk and some tobacco in it, but it's not listed in the fragrance pyramid.

Young, Sweet
The perfume smells sweet and is more suitable for younger men (17-22 years).
It fits well in spaces where people are close together (like a disco, for example). Due to its sweet scent, it is not as overpowering as heavy fragrances.

In short:

Top note: Lasts about 5 - 10 minutes.
Heart note: about 3 hours.
Base note: from the 3rd to a maximum of 5 hours.

I can recommend the scent to those who often go to discos or clubs and are no older than 25.
Otherwise, the fragrance can still be worn in spring and summer. It is not suitable for autumn and winter.

Mass Product
If the top note is meant to entice the valued customers to make a purchase, then Boss has thoroughly missed the mark here again. White is not the elegant, smart BOSS suit wearer for me, but rather Max Mustermann.

The initial idea with basil and blood orange is not bad in itself, but please not so synthetic!! The transition to the heart notes becomes more tolerable for me, and I could even warm up to the base notes.

For me, it's one of those fragrances that a man could wear but shouldn't necessarily. Okay - outside of my vicinity, I don't care so much anymore ;-).

Peppery-fruity with a lovely basil accent, lightly flanked by saffron: fruit without sugar, rather masculine. Underrated for me.

Not as synthetic as I feared... the vetiver is lovely... doesn't last long on me.

A great scent for the warmer days in spring or summer! The longevity is okay and the bottle is very pretty! Perfect for summer! :)

Reminds me of Jil Sander Sun Men. However, it has the downside of lower longevity and the upside of being more pleasant for my nose.
