What does Boss Alive Intense smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither lingers all day nor fades quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It is chosen most for leisure and daily wear, and it also finds a place at the office. Most voters find it feminine, while a smaller group calls it modern.

Raspberry brings the fruity, sweet side, and benzoin softens it into a warm backdrop. Vetiver adds a dry, woody tone that keeps the sweetness from turning heavy. The fresh accord gives the whole blend a light, slightly synthetic brightness.
