close to the skin
After my husband pleasantly surprised me with Boss Femme - it has now become part of my signature scent collection - today Essence also caught my attention.

My perfume dealer conspiratorially whispered to me: Take this one! It’s no longer available!
And he was preaching to the converted!

Essence is also characterized by an enchanting, serene femininity.

Like Femme, it is creamy and soft, topped with a melting blackcurrant that has no compote character at all.

Freesia and lily make the scent gently bright - and the rose adds a touch of velvet.
Apricot skin is slightly mild-bitter, captured in warm sandalwood.

A close scent - it sits like a second skin - without pressing or pulling anywhere.
You slip into it, like your favorite soft ankle boots.

Essence is like a reunion with the flawless Femme, just a bit deeper - a hint more mysterious.

I wouldn’t want to miss either scent, as both emphasize my femininity - one more during the day - the other more in the evening.

One Kir Royal, please!
"Aha, Hugo Boss, the suit tailor. Hugo Boss, the one with Boss Bottled and that macho advertising. Well."

That's roughly what I thought whenever I encountered a Hugo Boss fragrance. So I avoided engaging with it at all. Until, yes until I was offered Essence de Femme and bought it more on a whim.

Sure, I tried it, and at first I thought, okay, you didn't pay much for this, and for that it's quite good...

Then I tried it a second time. And what greets me there? A wonderfully sparkling glass of champagne with a good portion of cassis. A Kir Royal as it should be! I really didn't expect that.

Well, let's see how it goes on. And it continued just as beautifully. A fresh, aromatic mandarin/freesia scent, not sweet as expected, but fresh and green. I like this, I like it a lot!

When the lily joins in with its full bloom and the jasmine shyly throws in a few blossoms, I am already more than satisfied with my purchase.

No, I really didn't expect this from Hugo Boss. A real surprise. And I love such beautiful surprises.

As it becomes fruitier again, I expect the cassis, but no, it's softer, sweeter. It's early summer in Barcelona, those delicious, small, firm apricots that are very light but incredibly aromatic and sweet.

At the same time, the scent becomes calmer, warmer, and more intense, as amber kicks in and turns the Kir into what it really is, a KIR ROYAL.

Well then, cheers. I'll gladly take that, even if the fizz could last a little longer.

P.S.: the base lasts very long, it still smells this morning!

I Smell No Difference...
Boss Femme appealed to me from the very first moment; for me, it is a very noble floral scent. The name Femme is very well chosen, as it is not for little girls, who should rather buy Orange. It is very soft and feminine, this Boss, a truly beautiful composition of floral and fruity notes.
When Essence de Femme was released, I was very curious and just as disappointed. My nose detects no difference, and there is no sign of the promised stronger intensity and longevity for me, really a shame.

Women love Kir Royal, especially when the boss serves it. Fruity cassis-floral scent without any overpowering elements. 2007.
