Boss The Scent for Her Intense by Hugo Boss

As of now, I have yet to try the original women’s version of Boss The Scent, but I grabbed a sample of the Intense version to review. So, I won’t be comparing the two in this review, but will simply stick to Boss The Scent for Her Intense. How does it smell? When should it be worn? How does it perform? Is it worth a try?

My Full Wear Review

Before we get into my review, let’s see what the brand says about this fragrance: An irresistible fragrance, unforgettable like a savored seduction. Exquisite notes of honeyed peach, captivating osmanthus absolute, dark cocoa and vanilla unfold over time for an intense experience.

The opening of Boss The Scent Intense starts off with a strong peach note that’s dipped in a light honey. It’s fruity and sweet, with a floral undertone. It’s got a warm and enticing aroma.

It kind of reminds me of another fragrance, but I can’t quite place what this comes close to smelling like. Not exactly like Viva La Juicy, just something along those lines, perhaps?

Boss The Scent Intense isn’t a super complicated perfume. The development beyond the initial notes, consists mostly of the cocoa and vanilla, coming into the fold.

Between the two, the cocoa is the stronger, with the vanilla hanging around, mostly underneath the composition. During this development, the peach is toned down, and the aroma takes on a creamier feel.

The peach does start to take a back seat, the osmanthus becomes more noticeable, late in the wear. With that is honey and the cocoa. That’s pretty much the scent, in totality.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Sillage wise, is it actually intense? It doesn’t project itself insanely far or anything, but with the sweetness, I guess it can come off as being intense. It leaves a scent trail for a couple of hours, after that it’ll be a more intimate scent bubble, though not a skin scent.

The strength is on the upper end of moderate, but it can just hit harder, with all of those super sweet notes.

The longevity is good, but not amazing. I got Boss The Scent Intense to last for around 7 hours, on my skin. You might be able to squeeze out another hour or two with heavier application.

It’ll serve well in most scenarios, but isn’t a marathon runner, to any extent. A full workday is a decent target for Intense.

Seasonally, I’d stay in the autumn to early spring, with this fragrance. It does have notes, which lend themselves to the summer, but the cocoa and honey, will melt in the summer heat. It just wouldn’t hold up well.

I wouldn’t call this one a teenage scent, but it definitely skews more toward younger women. It’s sweetness is kind of girly, but not completely so. This is a casual daily wear, maybe for a night out or something like that. It doesn’t strike me as all that serious or ‘sexy’.

Overall Impression of Boss The Scent Intense

Overall, do I like Boss the Scent Intense? It smells nice enough. I’m not enthralled by it. I do like the honeyed peach note and when the cocoa comes into the picture.

That opening act seems to be this one peaks and then it falls off into being something much more forgettable. Sort of like the men’s versions of this one. They too had some interesting starts, winding up to be decent to somewhat nice.

The whole thing is pretty good. It ultimately doesn’t really move the needle for me. It’s performance is solid. It’s smell is nice at times, maybe going to be a little too much, for many women. It’s a serviceable scent.

Would I recommend running out and buying it? Not really. It’s worth a try, but maybe when you can snag a cheap bottle.
