Boss Bottled Elixir Hugo Boss 2023

So far, I haven't been able to identify too strongly with the Boss Bottled flankers. From "Again" to "Does it have to be?", there wasn't really any more emotion in the releases. But the Elixir really won me over.

Boss Bottled Elixir begins very spicy and its subtle effervescence is reminiscent of the related cola note that I perceive in the opening of Dior Sauvage Elixir. However, this soon fades and transforms into an incense-vanilla blend. The scent becomes very smoky-sweet in the drydown, which I personally appreciate, as I don't necessarily consider incense scents to be my favorites, but the composition of sweet notes mixed with smoky spice makes me really love this flanker.

So if you can't smell a Boss Bottled flanker anymore, but deep down you're still willing to give one a chance, this is the one you should most likely reach for. The performance is definitely above average and the sillage is also immensely powerful - at least for the first few hours. It then wears off a little in this area, but still lasts well on the skin for a few more hours.
