Reviews of Boss Selection (2006)
by Hugo Boss

It’s for someone who likes green scents with a touch of darkness. I don’t feel it's boring at all. Opens with a sparkling fresh green, peppery grapefruit with hints of violets setting the tone for the scent (the trademark sweet note of plum). The fern note would remind one of the fresh accords of Montales Fougere Marines. The mid-notes have a spiked up spicy bite giving of a feel that the leaf has been freshly crushed. The overall tone of the scent is dark and has a plum like sweetness to it (think chevignon, lacoste ph?)..This settles down to a very comforting base of musky sweetness with good hint of vetiver and woody notes.

Boring? naaa. Matter of fact, not many scents out there can beat this one for formal occasions which requires one to wear suits. A very elegant wear. Perfect for office and important meetings. Not a date type unless you are wearing something formal.

by far my favourite from boss. the only others i take into account as personally acceptable are XY and No 1. though elements aqua is so so but easily dispensible. a good balance of wood,fruits,herbs. tho its hardly a fresh scent imo. very easiliy acceptable. good longevity, slightly sweet and woodsy..it could pass off as a lighter version of no.1. its crisp and sleek, nice and warm, but not creamy or powdery at all. a feels like scented wood to me, and on top of that, its very versatile. office, formal, semi formal. a clean floral wood scent.

Sometimes I would check-out the reviews before buying a fragrance, other times I do it the other way round. For BOSS SELECTION, I bought first then checked out the reviews(MIXED!!..not surprising) This is a very good fragrance, fresh and sweet-fruity but that's just the beginning, BS will go on to reveal its masculinity, arid, floral, warm musk in a way I've experienced in only one other Fragrance ROMANCE For Men (RALPH LAUREN), Which I also loved.

In my opinion Hugo Boss' best creation to date (although I have not yet sampled the 80's frags or Soul yet). It is very unique as have not come across a similar scent. It is a sweet frag that has a hint of almond/marzipan??? An older person's scent that can't really offend.

Generally not a big fan of Hugo Boss, and selection was my first time fragrance.
Sweet, fresh smelling and long lasting fragrance. Originally planned to use for everyday, but then switched to the special occasion type.

Although the vendor who sprayed this fragrance on me said the top note was tangerine, I felt an aroma like red fruits or maraschino cherry as a main note. The base note is soft, not so woody as other fragrances, but more green with a bit of anise. It seems to be suitable for daytime, night and office, for a range 25-50 years old.
