BOSS The Scent Absolute Eau de Parfum for Him

Product Information

The Scent Absolute also has good longevity. Gets around 8-9 hours of wear. Again, don’t expect a monster projection beast, but this one does hang around for a nice long while and doesn’t flake out early. BOSS THE SCENT Absolute For Him offers a richer and more intense interpretation of the original BOSS THE SCENT masculine aftershave. Its signature ingredients – stimulating Ginger and exotic Maninka fruit – combine with the arousing power of Mondia roots and the elegance of Vetiver to create an absolutely seductive, absolutely addictive Eau de Parfum for men. 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… 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.

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. 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. Seasonally, this has autumn and winter written all over it. Not a totally heavy or dense fragrance, but that spice would kind of be off-putting in the heat of the summer months. If you have relatively mild springs where you live, it would work then too. 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.

I mentioned that this is a linear fragrance. Well, there is a change. The spice burns off and you are left with a mix of the maninka and vetiver the rest of the way. Fresh, a touch of earthiness, and smoke.

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.The Scent Absolute is probably the most closely related to the original cologne from this Hugo Boss series. That’s a great thing, as I really enjoyed how that one smelled, but it had terrible performance.

It’s a fruity and spicy opening act, with somewhat rum-like booziness in the mix. It doesn’t actually have that as an accord, but the fragrance puts out that sort of vibe (mondia roots). Absolute is masculine, attractive, and is definitely unique while retaining that The Scent DNA. That’s about all the development I get from this fragrance. Though, I don’t think it needs to go much further. However, The Scent Absolute corrects that, gives me a fresh and spicier profile, and isn’t the powdery chocolate of Private Accord (which is nice, but I prefer the maninka fruit). Yet, Absolute is also the more linear of the two parfums. If you loved the original BOSS The Scent for men, then you’ll love this warmer, more intense take on it. Spicy, stimulating top notes of Ginger entice, pulling the senses irresistibly into the perfume’s aphrodisiac core: a hypnotic heart blending the addictive, rum-laced sweetness of the Maninka fruit with the sensuality of Mondia roots. Vetiver brings a smoky, virile elegance to the base note of the fragrance, as it dries down and lingers seductively on the skin.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. Sillage wise, this one starts out on the upper edges of what could be considered moderate (4-7 foot projection), before moving in to a lighter moderate (3-4 feet). It’s not a complete beast, but performs very well when compared to the others. 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. Absolute is masculine. Not a teenagers fragrance, but not exactly formal either. It can venture into the nightlife and is great for casual wear. This is more of a ‘sexy’, mass appealing cologne, that leans much more into evening wear.
