What does Boss Bastard smell like?

Mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon open bright and fruity. Towards the heart, amber, tobacco and cedarwood come forward, and the scent turns sweet with a smoky, spicy side. The base of musk, vetiver, cocoa and sandalwood leaves a woody, slightly animalic warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, followed by leisure and business. Voters mostly read it as masculine. Lattafa Pride Pisa and Creed Aventus have a close profile.
