Reviews of Boss Pure (2008)
by Hugo Boss

Since no one has listed the notes for Boss Pure, I will start by giving them (derived from the Boss fragrances website):

Top notes: fig water, Mediterranean citrus
Heart notes: lily, hyacinth
Base notes: massola wood, tree moss

I dislike the opening. It has citric tartness, but nothing that helps one discern what type of fruit it is. While I love citrus fruits, I find mere tartness in fragrance to be boring. This is coupled with a watery note, which I find equally unappealing. In the drydown, the tartness disappears and Pure becomes smooth and woody. Throughout it remains unremarkable.

I give it a neutral rating, as I would classify Pure as an inoffensive, fresh, clean scent.

As of this writing, there are 59 fragrances in the basenotes directory with “pure” as part of their name!

Smells like fresh grapefruit (sour, not sweet) and freshly cut grass. It's much more sour than sweet, and the opening is overly fresh.

The dry-down sweetens up just a tad, and the sourness becomes a little subdued. But overall, it still smells like sour grapefruit and freshly cut grass.

Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. I think I'll have to pass on this one.

Boss Pure is a fresh, clean, lightly citrus-y, aquatic scent balanced by a floral heart. Drys down to a woody, slightly vanillic note. Decent longevity for an EdT (3-4 hrs). Nice enough but nothing special here. Definitely aimed at the younger crowd who want something different... but not too different.

I smelled it same like CK Man but lighter, is anyone think so?

Although I'm not usually a fan of Boss fragrances, I found myself really enjoying Pure this past weekend when I wore it out to a fancy casino. The opening is very very grapefruity - in fact this is all you will smell if sprayed on a card. It's a very dry grapefruit smell. The grapefruit dries down into a dry but lightly spicy, very 'fresh' scent. I'll be honest I didn't closely analyze the notes because I was busy at the casino, but I could smell it on myself and it worked with my fancy casino 'outfit' and working the blackjack tables.

This is another designer 'fresh' scent, but it does it much better than most offerings.
