What does Boss Bottled Tonic smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn well behind. It suits daytime, leisure and office wear, while evening gets very few votes. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Voters mostly call it masculine and modern.

The top is bitter orange, grapefruit, apple and lemon, a bright, fruity opening. In the heart, cinnamon, ginger and clove add spice, softened by geranium. Vetiver gives the base a woody footing, while the aquatic and sweet accords keep the whole thing fresh. Its profile is close to Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette and Kenzo Homme Sport.
