Our take
What does Boss The Scent Intense smell like?
Hugo Boss released The Scent Intense in June 2017, first in Heinemann travel retail stores across Europe. Actor Theo James stayed on as the face of the line. The formula holds more oil than the 2015 Scent and adds vanilla to the base. The opening follows the familiar recipe. Ginger stings and cardamom adds a green, slightly camphor-like cool. The heart revolves around maninka fruit, a note somewhere between passion fruit and rum that is darker than it sounds. A little lavender reminds you this is still a classic men’s scent. The base is where things change. The original’s leather picks up a vanilla sweetness that makes it warmer and more edible. Compared with The Scent, Intense is rounder and sweeter, and it lasts longer. It loses some bite along the way.
When to wear it
For autumn and winter evenings. Two sprays on the chest are enough, as it projects well for the first few hours.
It belongs to the Oriental / Amber, Spicy family. Boss The Scent Intense is one of 40 creations by Hugo Boss in our encyclopedia.
