Smells like Del Mar with a watered down purple or red feel to it. The dry down is pretty long-lived, but smells like sugary cotton candy (which is kinda redundant, but...). I guess it's okay if you like sweet young smelling stuff and you're a young dude (or girl). If that's your thing, then neutral. For a scent called "Selection"...I dunno. Thought it'd be more elite smelling and powerful.

Boring and unoriginal. Smells like a watered down version of Del Mar, which is also put out by Boss/Baldessarini. This fragrance is generic and obviously produced for the masses who are looking for something that won't offend at the office. As a man who appreciates a fine cologne, I find this scent to be utterly boring and the epitome of mediocrity. If you want a real fragrance check out Chanel Egoiste Platinum, don't waste your money on this.

This was bought for me by my wife. And thank God she doesn't know what my online ID here is.

I really don't like this.

Don't get me wrong, at first, when you put it on it smells fresh and clean, but it dries down to an overly cloying sweetness which makes me wish I'd worn something else during the day.

And this is nothing like the original Baldessarini (which I also have). The Baldessarini smells expensive and has a nice dry down which this doesn't.

Maybe it's just my skin but, this doesn't float my boat.

This is definately run of the mill and very generic. Luckily I used a sample instead of buying. This scent is so common it smells like Cerutti Image with even less staying power (about an hour). In fact you've probably smelled this so many times it's going to be one of the reasons it fades so fast. If this is what you want, get Axe instead. It's cheaper and will last longer. In about a year nobody will be carrying this anyway.

If you like boss then you'll love this one, since it is a little better then the others.

I don't have the greatest nose, so I can't tell you the notes, plus it smells so synthetic its hard to even pick one out. Since I've tried to wash it out 4 hours ago and it's still infecting my nostrals, I would say it's got a lot of staying power.

So here's my impression: it smells just like the other boss frags. It's going for a clean, kinda old school citrus smell, but it seems really muddled, like there are too many notes... it gives me a headache.

You'll probably be able to pick it up in marshells or tj maxx or wherever in a few months. But I would not recommend spending a lot of money on it.
