What does Boss Pure (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Acqua di Giò pour Homme and Bvlgari Aqva Amara have a close profile.

It opens on aquatic notes. In the heart, fig, lily of the valley and hyacinth add a floral, lightly fruity softness. Massoia wood and tree moss dry it down onto a woody base.
