You know what? They smell alike!
Yesterday I went to LIDL and blindly bought my X-Bolt bottle, given that I never tested Boss Bottled, and I was curious to know what the smell was. As I left the shop, I sprayed it over my hand. I immediately fell in love with it. I allowed it some time to melt with my skin, and notes of crisp green apple, spicy cinnamon, and sweet vanilla started flooding my nose.

Well, this evening, I entered Sephora shop and tested Boss Bottled. Surprise, surprise! They smell alike! Not yet convinced about that, once I reached home, I sprayed X-Bolt on the other hand, and I could not find a difference between the two. Trust me, X-Bolt is as good as Boss Bottled, and I just spent 3.99 euro rather than 49 euro.

My last take on this. The scent is meant for daytime wear. Overall, the fragrance is clean and sweet from top to bottom. I detected faint traces of vanilla after the quick burst of apple began to settle down, blended with spicy cinnamon—a kind of like American apple pie!

Incredibly light, the X-Bolt is great for an office environment because the scent is pretty subtle. So subtle a gentleman might forget he is wearing it. The longevity is moderate, possible lasting a conventional workday but not much more extended after that. The sillage stays around your arms. To me, this is wearable during the cool and cold season, and autumn seems to be a perfect time.

Not bad at all!
Very good dupe of Boss Bottled really. Average performer, but on this price (5 EUR for 75ml) i can`t complain. Almost no one will detect the difference, except if you are not very expirienced about fragrances.
I`ve got a local company clone, that is twice more expensive, but twice more bold and performer and by now i am pass of purchasing X-Bolt.

Update on my statement - X Bolt Eau De Parfum
Firstly, I will not compare it to the Boss Bottled as I don`t own one and have never smelled it.

Initial thoughts -
I bought this because I liked the fruity sweet smell but not really 100% my type of fragrance, however at the price of Eu5.99 decided to still buy it also because reviews were saying it is a Boss Bottled Dupe. I don`t own/ nor owned the Boss bottled but you know, having a dupe of Boss for that price, decided to still buy it and use it for daily use.

Final thoughts -

In my statement below I have stated that I like it, I use it but won`t be buying another bottle. BUT.
Using it almost daily, the smell grew on me, and occasionally after a shower in the morning, I feel the urge to put on a fruity sweet fragrance, knowing I have it, I use it. Longevity extremely good on my skin, sillage extremely good as well after 4 hours I still smell it myself as I move and also get compliments. (6 sprays). Considering, the price, the good chemistry with my skin, I have decided to buy a second bottle just in case they reformulate it.

Bargain Boss Bottled
This fragrance is actually better than I expected.
It smells so nice!
In the opening I get lots of lavender for some reason, maybe it's just me.
After a while, the scent turns 180°, apple and cinnamon start to appear and I also smell some vanilla as well.

Very masculine, delicate and versatile, you can rock this in any season.
Longevity is about 5-6 hours and it projects for an hour, then it is going to sit close to the skin.

For less than 5€, I heavily recommend this fragrance, you just can't go wrong with this.
I don't need Boss Bottled now ^^

In the begin when this parfume pops off I didn't like it, but after a while I caught myself enjoying the smell. You need to give it time.

It has changed from Eau de Toilette, to Eau de Parfum concentration. Don't know if it the scent has changed in any way.

Meant for daytime wear, it’s clean, sweet, great for office. I detected vanilla after the quick burst of apple. The longevity is moderate.

Boss Bottled for less than 10€. The quality is better than many Zara's. Good alternative for someone not into this hobby that like BB. 3/5

I don't know Boss bottled. Fresh at first, then comes apple and vanilla. It's inoffensive and not too sweet, a bit generic. Low performance

It's similar to Boss Bottled like Peter Kraus is to Elvis.
(Or Andrea Berg to Adele...? Boiled potatoes to fries...? :)

Surprisingly similar to BB + top quality: I've had it in the car as a backup scent for 4 years, enduring temperatures between -30 and +90 without losing quality!

After positive reviews, I bought 1 thing - scent is okay - longevity & silage = 0 -
at -4€ it's no loss, but you get more from an ice cream...

I smell a miserable Boss bottled clone here. The freshness smells more like a multi-purpose cleaner..
Well, at that price.
