What does Boss Bottled Intense (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens fresh and fruity with bergamot, lemon and apple. Geranium, cinnamon and clove add spicy warmth in the heart, while vetiver, cedarwood and sandalwood leave a woody base. The overall feel is sweet, slightly gourmand and a little synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Evening, daily wear and office all draw similar support. Most see it as masculine. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled (Eau de Toilette) and Bench. Motion for Him have a close profile.
