Year of the Elixir
The original Boss Bottled EdT was my signature fragrance for many years. Okay, it was my only fragrance. It was originally given to me as a gift. And signature fragrance was not part of my vocabulary. Once I had started to get into fragrances and build up something of a collection, it was clear to me that a Boss Bottled, no matter what variation, would never find its way into my household again.

Spoiler alert: the Elixir has made it. Admittedly, Boss is only following the trend here of reducing a well-known and successful fragrance to its most distant essentials, working vigorously with the wood and spice club to create long-lasting, room-filling monsters, which for some are grandiose, darkly heavy masterpieces of perfume art, for others overbearing headache triggers. Well, there are certainly distinctions in between. Nevertheless, all the elixir flankers from Dior, JPG etc. are polarizing. Be it because of their strong character or simply because they often no longer have much in common with the original fragrance.

I feel the latter with Bottled Elixir. Not only the complete absence of apple (or other fruity notes), but I also don't recognize any other relationship to the OG Bottled. But it doesn't matter, on the contrary, I didn't want to buy Bottled anymore :D

Enough rumpalavert, to the fragrance itself: the first impression on the test strip was horrible! Kind of medicinal, like something to rub on, aggressive and unpleasant, ooh, get rid of it. At the same time, Le Mâle Elixir on another test paper, which was much more pleasant. But then, simply by sniffing the Boss strip again for comparison, the fragrance had changed. Into a warm, spicy smoky aroma with soft wood, which at best could be described as cuddly. The subsequent test on the skin confirmed this development, except that it did not have this alcoholic-medical opening on the skin. So the Mâle Elixir lost out that day and the Bottled bottle went into my bag at a really okay sale price.

Meanwhile, I find it exciting that the fragrance develops into a creamy vanilla as it progresses. Wherever that comes from, because there is no vanilla in it. Maybe I'm misclassifying the persistent patchouli note in combination with the cardamom in my brain ;)

In any case, I find Bottled Elixir to be a powerful, dark and masculine fragrance with a soft character that becomes more accessible as it progresses. Perfect for the cooler fall, definitely suitable in winter, certainly wearable well into the still cool spring. The fragrance is easily perceptible on my skin for at least 8 hours, whereby I perceive the projection and sillage as good, but not intrusive. For an elixir even rather moderate. Therefore, in my opinion, also suitable as a fragrance in the workplace.

So if you are looking for a fragrance with the right character and don't mind the name or don't expect it to have anything to do with you and are also lucky enough to be able to pay a reasonable price, this is a really successful creation. However, it is not a blind purchase! But if you blindly recognize from the scent that it is the elixir to Bottled, I'll give you an apple :)

A thoroughly good release
The Boss Bottled Elixir is quite a good release.
A pleasant fragrance for everyday life without being 0-8-15.
The fragrance is slightly fresh, has a subtle spiciness, is pleasantly resinous-sweet and has a great, very pleasing incense flavor.

The incense note is really pleasing and by no means a strong church incense.
I think that many people who do not like incense will still like this fragrance.

The fragrance starts with a slightly refreshed cardamom spice, a very pleasing incense note and some sweetness.
Over time, the fragrance becomes more resinous-sweet.
The listed labdanum absolute draws here conspicuously its circles.
The freshness and incense begin to withdraw.

Overall, a beautiful & elegant everyday fragrance from the house of Hugo Boss. A nice flanker, despite the name Elixir.

The performance of the fragrance is also really good.

Test this fragrance with pleasure times from !

Dark passion
An elixir dominated by incense and dark patchouli. Spicy cardamom completes this fragrance and makes it a mysterious, dark and yet mainstream perfume, which is ideal for the cold, dark season. There are certain similarities to Dior Sauvage at its core, but it is still a sensible release.

David Beckham strolls through a festively lit New York, wearing an elegant brown coat with a black wool collar sweater underneath. He wears this fragrance, which underlines his distinctive but stylish manner. Elegant, dark and yet perfect for smelling sexy but masculine - that's how this elixir smells.

An Elixir of Audacity
Probably the best Designer’s release of the year: daring, different, masculine, powerful…Very powerful: I took a shower and it still smells great. (!) Expect more than 10 hours.

If you are looking for something with a candy smell, look elsewhere... But if you want a fragrance with character, this is the one.

Boss Bottled Elixir requires dressing well and not being a wimp, because otherwise you’ll look like a parody. It isn’t for teenagers, either… This is the fragrance of a CEO, an entrepreneur or a successful businessman... That's the idea.

It’s dense, dark, slightly sweet and warm without losing a bit of character and mystery. Essence of incense, vetiver and cedar wood are the declared notes, in fact the backbone of an exquisite composition.

Here you have a perfume in which I think it’s better not to get distracted by over-analyzing the nuances of the notes, but to immerse yourself in it and feel it as an aura that exhumes audacity, creativity and talent.

… But keep this in mind: You have to smell it on the skin, because it’s a complex scent that doesn’t express itself adequately on paper - as was the case with Boss Bottled Parfum, too -.

This elixir is excellent, but try before you buy: It is neither common nor intended for the average Joe. So in a nutshell:

The scent of a BOSS.

Very positively surprised !
I'm not a big fan of Boss fragrances but always test the new Flanker, so far none was there that I found good.
But with this one you really have to say that it is something different and I like it.
To the fragrance: He starts very intensely smoky, after about 30 min. he becomes a little softer and develops a smoky, woody in the background slightly sweet DNA of The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette but really only so easily perceptible in the background, I find very successful I must say and as soon as he is a little cheaper I will definitely get him.
I think for non-smokers it is not a fragrance because he carries this (not meant negatively) ashtray note a little in itself, as well as the Noir Extreme Parfum ,is for me a very similar fragrance to this ,just not with the "typical" TF DNA but just with that of The Scent for Him Eau de Toilette in the background.
Durability: is very good ,after 9h still perceptible .
Sillage: is also top ,not too intrusive ,not too restrained .

Nice patchouli scent. Really well blended by Ménardo. Classic but still modern. It has a smoky-woody-green facet from Cistus and incense.

Little Boss Bottled DNA, however, is a brave and creative designer. Dark, slightly smoky and mysterious. An Elixier to my taste

Woody, smoky, resinous and very sweet. It smells quite cheap, synthetic and a bit cloying. Also patchouly and spiced with cardamom.

Cardamom bomb, leather, amber, then resinous/patchouli. Reminds me of a economic oud frag. Careful in hot, closed spaces. Drydown=better
