Summer is here and you want to smell fresh and good. You can't go wrong with this fragrance. The opening is a pleasant freshness, not as citrusy as the "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani", but the maritime notes are very pleasant. In my opinion, it differs from the edt in the heart and base notes, which make the fragrance really good and give it a different note than the edt. The bourbon rose shrimp and then the patchouli now determine this fragrance.
It can certainly be worn all day, but I prefer to wear it in the evening over a cozy meal.
It lasts about 5-6 hours on my body and is still noticeable on my clothes the next day. The sillage is okay for me, you certainly stand out without annoying your surroundings. All in all, a perfect fragrance for the warmer days!

With the whole range of The Scent fragrances, it's not easy to decide. So I stood in front of the testers and tested "The Scent Elixir for Him | Hugo Boss", "The Scent Absolute for Him | Hugo Boss" and "The Scent Magnetic for Him | Hugo Boss" one after the other. In a direct comparison, this fragrance with its fruity opening was the most interesting. Yes, it almost magically attracted me. Then the vanilla note joins in, which in combination with the fruity note form a perfect, not too sweet, pleasant duo. The H/S is not quite as good as in "The Scent Elixir for Him | Hugo Boss", but in my opinion this makes this fragrance the perfect companion for any occasion.

A new fragrance from Boss, you have to try it out! Said, done, bought.
After spraying it on, you are immediately captivated by a fruity-sweet opening that makes the fragrance immediately interesting. I think that the maninka fruit of the original DNA is clearly recognizable. I think it's a bit of a shame that this pleasant note quickly fades into the listed notes of lavender and sandalwood, which then dominate the rest of the fragrance. Nevertheless, it is a high-quality fragrance that is far too good for everyday wear, it is made for special occasions! Its high H/S alone makes you stand out with this fragrance! So be careful when spraying it on, 4 sprays are enough for the whole day! For me, this is a very successful fragrance that Boss has brought onto the market!

my journey through the wide world of fragrances began in 1982. An apprenticeship and finally earning money. At the weekend, I went to the slopes with my buddies and everyone wanted to smell good. It was almost a little competition. Who had which perfume?
After the apprenticeship, this continued, only more extreme. You had even more money at your disposal and now you could afford 2 fragrances instead of 1. I think I sometimes tested half the perfumery on the hunt for the perfect fragrance. Among other things, I came across "Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme (1994) (Eau de Toilette) | Dolce & Gabbana" at some point. It immediately caught my nose and I wanted to smell it again and again.

2024: Now we have this wonderful community and you no longer need to sniff through all the fragrances and can narrow the list down to 2 - 3 fragrances. That's how I came across "Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme (2012) (Eau de Toilette) | Dolce & Gabbana", the current version. So I went to the "D", looked for a tester and sprayed it on the back of my hand.
Wow, the first impression was that it has hardly changed. The citrusy freshness of mandarin paired with neroli and bergamot made me reminisce. Early on, you immediately notice lavender and sage, which give the fragrance its soapy aroma. Pepper is fortunately very subtle.
Towards the end, it becomes pleasantly woody, with the citrusy and soapy notes continuing to dominate the fragrance.
The H/S are quite good. For me, the fragrance lasts 6-8 hours until it is only perceptible close to the skin.
The packaging itself is an eye-catcher! Dark blue covered with velvet. 115€ for 125 ml is a fair price .
Conclusion: I was skeptical, as many fragrances from the past have been ruined by reformulations. This cannot be said in this case.

Here it is, the new flanker from Boss Bottled. But apparently Boss has changed its direction. Whereas in the past, flankers were often released that were very arbitrary, the focus now seems to be on higher-quality fragrances. And in this case, they have more than succeeded.
About the fragrance:
The fragrance starts with a good dose of incense and cardamom, which I found almost a little too much at first
But then it becomes really interesting. For whatever reason, there's nothing in the ingredients about fruit and vanilla. And that's exactly what I perceive in combination with frankincense, which works perfectly in this combination.
It becomes a little woodier in the drydown, whereby the aforementioned combination is still preserved in the fragrance in a very acceptable way.
H/ S are above average. You will definitely stand out with this fragrance, but you should not overdose it. 4-6 sprays are enough to get you through the day. I can still smell it after 8 hours.
All in all, a very successful fragrance, which for me is similar to "Dior Homme Intense (2011) | Dior". But if you don't like the extremely powdery note of Dior, this fragrance is just right for you.
