What does Boss Orange Made for Summer smell like?

It opens with mint and passion fruit, bright and fresh from the first spray, with a fruity sweetness alongside. Geranium in the heart adds a floral, green touch, and vetiver in the base settles the scent onto an earthy footing. The accords also carry a synthetic feel.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters place it in leisure, daily and business wear, and few choose it for a night out. Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vétiver and Cartier Eau de Cartier Zeste de Soleil have a close profile.
