  |  Opens with the same synthetic coconut accord that I get with Obsession Night's opening. This then dries down to something a little sweeter and more pleasant than Obsession Night's bland spiciness. I don't detect much anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla in this.A synthetic smelling spicy sweet fragrance. Not very original or appealing IMO. 30 September 2008 |

| An obvious anise note on the top. A unique spiced woody gourmand from Hugo Boss. Fairly linear. 16 September 2008 |
 | A nice fragrance—citrus, then spice, then strong on amber. Synthetic but not disgustingly so. There is little refinement or skill in blending in the opening, and to me it smells like a third rate anise / citrus accord. In the middle, individual the individual spice notes are neither clearly defined and not refined. With the base, all that comes through is a weak, common, amber note. The scent doesn’t last long, has nothing special about it. Boss Soul is rather typical Boss fragrance – except that it’s a bit better than the others. 23 August 2008 |
  |  While wearing it in the UAE (Middle East,) I found a rather favorable response from the citizens.The mandarin notes were quite pleasant as well. 15 April 2008 |

| Boss’s Soul is light and ethereal. It has a pleasant, clean smell that is too clean for my liking (as a cologne); I would rather smell it than smell like it. Citrusy opening, sweet amber-vanilla-musk in the base. The clean and light character remains throughout. Decent lasting power. Perhaps worth a look if you want a clean scent. 09 April 2008 |
 | Not a bad fragrance, but not great either. The sweet and smoky notes don't complement each other very good, so that oftentimes it seems too smoky and smother. 11 January 2008 |
 | Very similar to Del Mar and equally dull. Good quality but bland and inoffensive-the sort of thing you'd buy as a present for someone you didn't know very well... 28 April 2007 |

| great scent and long lasting boss and hugo perfumes are the best ones 07 November 2006 |
|
| This one is nice,but too expensive for a simple fragrance.It is also not for my age and too serious for me 26 October 2006 |
|
| I have a sample of this. There is something interesting about it. I think it may be the cinnamon. I dont see myself buying it. It is not different enough. It would be another oriental in my collection along with A*men, Desire, Lemale and Pi to name a few. Im moving away from orientals at this time. 13 October 2006 |

| I see this fragrence is not highly rated among teh Basenoters.But I bought a bottle the other day and I quite like it. Its very deep, rich in Amber and Vanilla, which makes it quite warm fragrence for winter. Quite Ok I think 11 February 2006 |

| Boss Bland? Weak Soul? Yes. It is pleasant enough and wears fairly well but, as my sister said, "It smells like my second grade classroom." Wear this cologne when you want to feel like you're not wearing cologne. If anything, it mayleave a clean and soapy impression--a plus? 13 January 2006 |

| A very delightful, smooth fragrance, similar to Boss in Motion but deeper yet still. Elicits compliments and is a very pleasant scent to own and wear. Bravo, Hugo Boss. ;-) 09 November 2005 |
 |  Overall a very dissapointing experience. The only fact saving Soul from total disaster in this case is that they're at least moving in the right direction, away from horrible aquatics like Del Mar. Soul is as basic an amber as anyone with just a little understanding of perfumery could have created. A generic citrus opening, followed by a spicy heart and then a woody/sweet drydown. There are a billion of these already and we really didn't need yet one more. Check out Hoggar by Yves Rocher instead, better and cheaper. 07 August 2005 |
|
| Tried a sample of it, and although the dry down is a little like Boss Bottled, that one is much nicer. Nothing really stands out with this fragrance. Boss Bland would've been a better name for this. 25 July 2005 |

| i cant believe the opinions that i read, soul is awesome, very woody and spicy/oriental, great long lasting and very sensual ... 24 July 2005 |
|
| a bad experience. I got a free sample recently. To be honest, nothing from Hugo Boss had ever impressed me before but I was willing to give it a try. It was terrible. A strong musky, not to say foul, odor that makes you want to rush to nearest shower and wash it off. Certainly not for me. 20 July 2005 |
 | I tried it in Singapore Changi Airport when it first launched. For me it's nice only for first 5 minute, it smell fresh n woody, after that the scent become very strong and that's not my type of scent. I believe Boss Soul is a good perfume, but it's just not my type. 09 March 2005 |
|
| Can anyone tell me the notes of this fragrance? I need to know something!! 20 February 2005 |
|
| This could be titled Boss Weak Soul! It does have a nice, warm scent, but it's NOT a unique one. And...it just doesn't have any staying power. I'd suggest trying a sample before purchasing this one. It just misses being a really good, new fragrance. J.A. USA 15 February 2005 |
 | Hi, guys. Haven't tried it yet, nut here is the pyramid: Top note : Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Black Pepper, Anise; Cardamom Middle note : Nutmeg Blossom, Lavender, Coriander Seeds, Cinnamon Bark Base note : Tamboti Wood, Vetiver, Vanilla; Tonka Bean, Amber; Musks 11 February 2005 |
