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

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters suggest spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure time, and is chosen less for evenings and nights out. Most voters call it masculine, and a share find it modern.

It opens with green notes, mandarin orange and pink pepper, followed by star anise, petitgrain and cedar needle. The base holds heliotrope, vetiver, cedarwood and patchouli. A slightly sweet, floral and woody backdrop sits under the fresh citrus character. Astrophil & Stella 8 Days a Week and Xerjoff Renaissance have a close profile.
