Surprisingly good
I am not a big fan of The Scent line and also Bottled are not on my wishlist. Last weekend I bought something from a shop an I got this perfume as a sample, without having many hopes about it.

What I an say is that my wife liked it very much on me and it lasted the whole day, from the sprays of a little 1.5ml sample .. that is awesome.

It is a sweet, gourmandy scent, with Vanilla in base which is not breaking any records, however is nicer than many others out there and from what I smelled lately from Boss (apart from the Collection) this surprised me in a positive way.

For a man between 19 - 29 years old is ideal. Thank you for watching my video too :).

How are the reviews this low??
This may be the biggest hidden gem in all of cologne. The average review and the straightforward note breakdown discourage many from hiding this gem in the shadows This fragrance uses Manika fruit in a beautiful way Making hugo boss and frankly only fragrance that has used Manika fruit to this degree with the sweet creamy vanilla base being an absolute blast start through finish one of the best "fruity" scents ever

Absolutely delectable
It smells delicious! like freshly baked cookies & raspberry/maninka throughout with the fruit note getting less tart/sharp as time goes on, the cookie smell makes it quite unique. Although some may find the sweetness cloying, I personally like it. Sillage is better than the Parfum flanker with similar longevity.

Strange sickly smell
It smelled great on a tester strip.

On my skin:I found the fruity smell just stuck, and became sickly after a while. The bran smell is weird, not in a good way, distracting, like old stale bread mixed with skin. Very bizarre. The vanilla base is the best part of this scent.
If the fruit and bread smell dissipated I'd probably like this more, but they just stick around for far too long. After about 3 hours I couldn't stand it anymore and had to wash this off. I tried it a couple of weeks later and had the same result - it's not for me.
I'm a big fan of the Boss "Bottled" line, so I was surprised this didn't work for me. I haven't tried the rest of the "scent" line.

Love at first sniff
When I was sniffing through perfumes in a store once, I came across this wonderful specimen. First on a strip, then shortly afterwards I sprayed it directly onto my forearm and I was extremely enthusiastic. I think I realized at that moment that I had found my personality in the form of a fragrance. It's sweet, but not cheap. Playful, yet serious and classy. Youthful, but still down to earth. The golden mean. It gave me a feeling of warmth, confidence and self-assurance. As if I could achieve anything from now on if I wanted to. I could almost see my future self in my mind's eye and it smelled exactly like The Scent: Magnetic (yes, I know, sounds a bit cheesy).

I would almost describe this fruity, not too sweet scent as berry-like and with the vanilla it reminds me a little of Strawberry Cheesecake. I don't really perceive the bran as a scent, but rather as an element that gives the perfume a slightly dry or powdery character.

Although the fragrance pyramid is simple, the effect is enormous. Sometimes less is more. I have been wearing the fragrance every day for a year now and it simply never gets boring, which is why it is my signature fragrance. And although the fragrance is not very "loud" - which I personally find a shame - compliments have definitely come my way, both from women and men.

In winter, I layer it with Boss Bottled Parfum. The two complement each other quite well.

I haven't loved a single BOSS fragrance until now! After spending a week with it: I'm addicted. Turned my sample into a 100ml purchase.

One of the most pleasant generic sweet, powdery scents out there. Dusty, almost cherry-fruity vanilla with great longevity. Basic but good.

Synthetic, slightly too sweet for my taste but not so bad overall. The opening is quite pleasant, the drydown is bearable. Fruity gourmand.

A fruiter take on the Scent DNA, similar to Le Parfum, however with a starchy cereal dry down which is quite interesting

Chocolate/Vanilla nutty scent. Sweet but not too much. Definetly for nights out. Young. Probably a "Please don't overspray" scent.

To my nose this smells like a combo of the fruity sweetness of OneMillion, the unisex type of smell of Ultra Male and a hint of that Spicebomb spice
