HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent Absolute Eau de Parfum Review


Looking for a more intense version of the original BOSS The Scent? Your prayers have been answered! Read on to find out all about HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent Absolute, an ambery, oriental Eau de Parfum for men that reimagines the classic Boss aroma…

This Fragrance Smells Like…

BOSS The Scent Absolute is a richer, more intense interpretation of the original BOSS The Scent for men. It centres around signature notes – including stimulating ginger and exotic Maninka fruit – while it’s enhanced by the arousing power of Mondia roots and elegant vetiver. The end result is an absolutely seductive, absolutely addictive Eau de Parfum.

From the nose of Bruno Jovanovic, The Scent Absolute opens with the spicy, stimulating top notes of ginger for instant warmth before the hypnotic heart blends the rum-laced sweetness of Maninka fruit with the sensuality of Mondia roots. The vetiver base offers a rich smokiness that lingers seductively on the skin. BOSS The Scent Absolute for Him is a sophisticated and captivating Oriental Ambery fragrance.

What’s The Story Behind This Scent?

The Scent Absolute for him is a darker, richer interpretation of the original scent. This ties into BOSS Parfums wider exploration of the senses; when stimulated, the senses can trigger a static-like, tingling sensation on the skin.

You Will Love This If…

If you loved the original BOSS The Scent for men, then you’ll love this warmer, more intense take on it.

This Perfume Smells Similar To:

Naturally, Absolute shares many similarities with HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent Eau de Toilette, but now it’s been enhanced and invigorated with bolder tones and a long-lasting Eau de Parfum strength.

Is BOSS The Scent Absolute Unisex?

This fragrance is marketed at men. However, it has a warmth and a fruitiness to it that I think all genders will enjoy. But, if you’re looking for something more fresh and sweet, I’d recommend taking a look at the female counterpart to this fragrance, HUGO BOSS BOSS The Scent For Her Absolute.

What’s The Longevity Like?

This Eau de Parfum should last a minimum of four to six hours. I personally found that it certainly held its strength towards the latter end of that range.

What’s Special About The Bottle?

BOSS Absolute is presented in a brown-hued flacon crafted from heavy, faceted glass set within a metal cage. This perfectly captures and contains the rich intensity of the warm fragrance within.
