A Gentle Rogue
This is a difficult perfume to review.... It's like the roads of my native Galicia, where you can take two completely opposite directions and arrive at the same place (...).
First of all, I like it although It isn’t a particularly captivating or revolutionary scent, really. Or wait... maybe it's the opposite?
Boss Bottled Parfum is fresh but dark, unique but generic, daring but safe… So what’s this? Well, that's its charm: A controlled divergence as a hallmark.
To find a point of reference in the brand, I would say that it comes to stay in the olfactory profile of Boss Bottled Night. Again, it doesn't smell like it, but it’s in a similar spectrum. Is this one better? Well… It's newer and well-executed, so draw your own conclusions. I really like both.
In the utilitarian context, this one has excellent versatility, moderate projection and good duration (8h). It smells like quality, so everything is fine here.
In the sensory and suggestive, this perfume doesn’t aim for the “Pied Piper” effect:
It starts with a moderate citrus, airy and light, nothing sharp. Immediately the freshness of the orris and the fig root take the direction of the scent, supported by a very soft and subtle incense, along with a balanced cedar wood. Gradually, a vegetable leather accord takes shape and completes an elegant and - just apparently - discreet fragrance, which in reality turns out to be secretly daring at short distances, with a seductive mix of kindness and impudence.
It’s a very distinctive scent in the olfactory memory, so its imprint remains perfectly differentiated and ready to be reactivated with the proximity of new close encounters. That's a secret winning hand.
So to recap, what do we have here? Well… A man with an angel face and a mischievous smile, surely.
