What does Boss Bottled Striking Lavender smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall next and winter well behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. About half of voters read it as masculine, while the rest call it modern or classic.

It opens on white lavender, moves to French lavender in the heart and settles on moss, which gives the base a green, earthy footing. The accords lean fresh, floral and aquatic, with spicy and woody touches rounding out the fougère feel, plus a slightly synthetic sheen.
