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.

Fiat Panda BJ: 98, Interior in Summer
I have always been interested in the Boss The Scent line, but I could never really warm up to the fragrance. A certain note, which I still can't quite describe, evoked memories of the scent wave from a passing garbage truck.

Now, 5 years later, I learned about a new creation. The Scent Magnetic! The design of the bottle is also very successful with this flanker, and the name sounds promising. Drawn into the drugstore like a magnet by the presentation, I immediately sprayed it on a test strip. In the first seconds, vanilla and the typical The Scent DNA filled my nose. So far, so good; to my surprise, the aforementioned garbage truck note was absent. But when I sniffed the test strip a second time, I immediately felt unwell. A feeling of nausea and discomfort spread over me. I was transported back to my childhood, sitting in the back seat of our Fiat Panda in the heat of summer without air conditioning. The heat and the stuffy used car smell made me feel sick, and my head was pounding with pain.

Unfortunately, with this flanker, I smell exactly that musty used car scent. So instead of garbage truck, it's now dusty air, covered by a fragrance tree that hasn't been replaced in months. The scent takes me back to that situation, which is why it is completely out of the question for me.

To all those who become ecstatic at the smell of a used car in the height of summer, I can only warmly recommend this fragrance!

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 deliciously sweet vanilla bomb with the added interested of the fruitiness. This stuff is fantastic.

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.

Basically weird fruit, bran flakes, and a dry vanilla husk. Weirdly synthetic and off putting. Not pleasing to me.

Very nice sweet and but fruity, not your typical Vanilla! Performance is nice, wear it when you want a conservative silage.

Borderline gourmand chestnut with vanilla. Really nice but basically winter exclusive in my opinion
