What does Boss in Motion Edition (Black) smell like?
Longevity and sillage both come across as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance.
Grapefruit, bergamot and kumquat give it a bright, fruity citrus feel. Ginger adds a spicy edge, while sandalwood and myrrh bring a woody, resinous, slightly smoky depth. Floral and aquatic touches sit alongside, keeping the whole blend fresh.
