Undervalued...
Now a few words about "Boss in Motion (Eau de Toilette) | Hugo Boss"
My review refers to the version in the glass bottle, not the old ball.
I bought it a few months ago because it was available for a bargain price and my collection was still relatively small at the time. Then it disappeared into the cupboard unnoticed. Winter came and other fragrances were worn. New, supposedly better fragrances moved in and were given preference. Today was the day and it was worn for the first time. So I diligently sprayed it on my neck and wrists. Man, the little one is not bad at all. Starts fresh and fruity and orangey and then changes to creamy and orangey. The fragrance pyramid doesn't work for me or I can't smell it. There is a certain synthetic quality, but it is not distracting. The creamy orangy note stays with me until the end. Overall, I find it very linear in its progression. Certainly not for extravagant noses that want to celebrate and pick apart a fragrance in every detail. It could be something for people who feel comfortable with a creamy, warm orange fragrance. I find the longevity and sillage average. At a price of 25€/100ml, you can't complain. As I now want to reduce my collection bit by bit, fragrances have to go. One thing is certain, this one can stay. More expensive, higher-rated fragrances are more likely to move out.
I can recommend it to anyone who doesn't just want niche or extravagant fragrances. For me, one of my P/L winners.

Sample hui / Flacon pfui
I bought the "Oud Save the King (Eau de Parfum) | Atkinsons" after much deliberation. I got hold of a small bottle from a nice Parfumo that really convinced me. This was the fragrance that everyone here was describing and which ultimately tempted me to buy a bottle. I was really looking forward to it and didn't cry a tear for the €100+. It was a great fragrance from the sample.
It finally arrived and I sprayed some on my wrist straight away. Oh shock what was that? It's something completely different. Something very oud-heavy and unpleasant. Okay, wait for the top note, I'm sure it will get better in a minute. Nope, nothing got better. The strong oud note continued through to the base. Only then was it the delicious vanilla-heavy scent from the sample. Mhh what now? I put it in the cupboard and waited. Maybe my nose was having a bad day. Next try a few days later. The sample on my left wrist, the bottle on my right. The same crap again. Delicious on the left, nauseous on the right. I tried it a third time a few days later, but it didn't work. The bottle has to go again.
So what now? Buy another bottle? The sample is just awesome. When was the batch from? My bottle (used) is over 1 year old. Has it been reformulated?
I know it's an oud fragrance, albeit a weak one for beginners. Apparently I can't stand oud. "Versace pour Homme Oud Noir | Versace" also had to go again. It triggered a slight nausea. But why does everyone say it's vanilla-heavy and the sample confirmed that? I'm really unsure about the fragrance and remain somewhat perplexed...

Incense grenade
Now I have to write a review after my short statement. Because I think the fragrance deserves more than a few sentences.

I recently acquired this little treasure and it has become one of my winter favorites. I like to wear it when I'm feeling a bit rough. Not in the sense of smelling tart or harsh, but in the sense of wanting to smell a lot of the fragrance. That's what it's made for. I think it's a bit of a sillage monster. With 4 to 5 sprays, it is very noticeable to me on the road with a 30 km/h headwind.

The fragrance itself is clearly dominated by incense. But in a good way. I don't find it scratchy because it is accompanied by a nice sweetness and pleasant spiciness. I can't detect a fragrance progression. It is very linear from start to finish. I don't mind that because I like it the way it is. For me, it's one of the best incense fragrances in its price range. It may not be able to compete with Nische, but it doesn't have to. If that had been Zadig's mission, it would have a different price tag. I always find such comparisons very pointless. This is a good investment at €40 for 50ml and that's that.

I can only make limited comparisons with "Just Rock! pour Lui | Zadig & Voltaire". I have both and they are already different fragrances.
The "Just Rock! pour Lui | Zadig & Voltaire" is much finer and softer, while the "This Is Him! | Zadig & Voltaire" is more intense with its incense and spices. I find the "Wow! for Men (Eau de Parfum Intense) | Joop!" much more similar. Although I don't think it has any incense in the fragrance notes. But both have the incense flair.

When can you wear it? Whenever you want to stand out. It is guaranteed not to be worn out.
Or simply for yourself, because you want to enjoy it.
Clearly for the cold season. There are certainly no two opinions.

I already mentioned sillage, it's tip top.
I also think it lasts well. It lasts a surprisingly long time if you don't be stingy with the spraying. Certainly even longer on clothing. But I don't do that because I change the fragrance every day.

Price/performance is great. There are certainly better perfumes in terms of the matter, but for me there is none that represents this fragrance for this price, with the performance.

Conclusion: I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for a warm, spicy incense fragrance.

Thank you for reading patiently️ !!!
