FougèreWhat does Boss Bottled Absolute smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes close behind, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure, office and daily wear, with some votes for evenings and nights out. Voters mostly call it masculine, then classic.
The top is plum, apple and bergamot: a bright, fruity, lightly sweet opening. In the heart, cinnamon and cashmere wood take over, and the base of musk and woods softens it into a woody, earthy finish. Zara Vibrant Leather Winter and Batman The Dark Knight (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
