What does Boss Soul (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen mostly for nights out and evenings, and also works for business and daily wear. It reads masculine and modern.
It opens fresh, fruity and spicy: bergamot and mandarin orange brighten the top while cardamom and black pepper add dryness. Lavender, cinnamon and coriander seed lead the heart. In the base, vetiver, vanilla, tonka bean and amber sweeten it and settle into a woody, powdery warmth.
