Class Bottled
I've always liked Boss Bottled; the problem is that here in Spain it's a fragrance with an overwhelming success: Almost every time there is an occasion when people are wearing suits, you smell Boss Bottled. The same for Boss Bottled Intense, too.

Finally, this 'Absolute" iteration comes out and I have to say that it's really good: More modern, classy and refined than the OG & Intense. Also, it has a different vibe... Which allows you to wear it next to the others and not smell the same.

... And I'm not going to say better or worse, but different enough; I've read people who say it smells the same and this isn't the case at all. However, if you aren't able to discern the nuances, don't buy it.

The Scent:

It opens with apple, bergamot and plum, masterly blended in a gentle balance expanded with cinnamon and subtle woods. All of this is sustained and harmonized with a soft musk and other notes that add depth and a watery - but not the typical aquatic -vibe.

The final blend is sophisticated, elegant and modern.

Mood & Occasions:

-Boss Bottled Absolute is a very classy signature scent to wear with a suit on all occasions involved. Of course, it's an attractive and sensual fragrance, without losing an iota of confidence and class.

Best seasons are Fall, Spring and Winter; Summer if it's not too hot.

- Longevity & Projection: It lasts long enough, but it's a smooth projector (6 - 8h).

This is the type of fragrance that I use for long days with all kinds of situations, including a night out.

In these cases I usually have the bottle on hand or carry a decant in my pocket... For me, this is better than a strong fragrance which can be excessive at various times of the day.

Conclusion:

A modern and elegant signature scent. Excellent choice for executives, even at formal events... But for other types of uses and scenarios, you may prefer Boss Bottled Intense.

Good for Everyday Use.
In the past, I mostly bought or received perfumes from Hugo Boss. For my nose, there was generally always something suitable, or I hadn't had any negative experiences yet.

This variant is fundamentally not bad either. I find it great for everyday use or work. However, I miss the "WOW" effect for a better rating. The longevity and sillage seem rather low to me. You feel the need to reapply quickly.

Overall, I find this version too restrained. The opening is pleasantly fresh, and I find it more intense than it becomes in the heart and base notes. But as I said, it's great for everyday use or work.

Top note: starts with fresh bergamot and lasts relatively long. Then briefly transitions into the plum note.

Heart note: the fresh note fades, and a light sweet cinnamon note emerges. However, it becomes relatively subdued quite quickly. A hint of wood subtly comes through.

Base note: the wood note becomes more pronounced and then dominates the field. In the end, I still have the feeling of being able to perceive a slight sweetness.

Boss Bottled Absolute is a fragrant perfume to feel good when things are going badly around you.
I haven't smelled the Boss Bottled line, but in the cold late November, Absolute was introduced to me.
It starts off like shampoo and champagne - sparkling apple and high-quality grooming products for men. A little later, a slight gasoline note comes into play. After that, a green, sour plum takes the lead, framed by cinnamon and plums.
Fresh snow smells like watermelon rinds, and Absolute seems to flirt with the same theme. The fragrance works very well in cold and damp weather; it feels invigorating, uplifting, and somewhat depressing, literally keeping you from losing your human face with its soapiness.

The better Boss Bottled or just the older one?
After finally getting my little tester for the fragrance today, I was really surprised...

You can already smell the similarity to the regular Bottled, only this one is infused with a hint of slightly synthetic oud and Gaultier's Ultra Male.

Sweet woody, perhaps even slightly musty on some skin types. However, this somehow makes these sweet spicy scents... more mature.

The longevity is decent (6 hours), the sillage is about the same as Bottled Intense, but with a bit more oomph. However, it's not annoying.

I can't really evaluate the bottle, but since Boss has always had good craftsmanship, always has the same functional sprayer, and only changes the color, I find it quite chic.

If you already have Intense, you probably don't need this one. But if you're looking for a mature interpretation of the classic, you should grab it when it’s available at a good price. The Bottled variations generally appeal to most people's tastes anyway.

1st impressions: Reminds me of the original EDT but less sugary sweet, slightly more grown-up, nothing too radical but it's rather nice.

It is a darker, more dressed up version of the original Boss Bottled. It felt a bit one dimensional, and the plum note is quite dominant.

Many perfumes in middle east had same notes and smell
This's way smooth and less sweet but better scent
But in longevity and Sillage ❌ moderate

They always release a new Boss Bottled flanker so you can write pointless statements without knowing the scent.

A slightly rounder Boss Bottled - very similar to the original, but more modern and mature.

Smells exactly like the regular Bottled to me, just with poorer longevity and sillage.
