Boss Intense by Hugo Boss, 2003

i love this perfume..... i'm just not sure why they stop selling it... now i need something that works like it :)

This is currently my bed-time scent. It's not something I'd probably wear out, however its clean woodsiness is very soothing on a cold Winter's night under the blankets. Boss Intense has an almost masculine feel to it. Not that it bothers me, I gender bend fragrances all the time. Some people refer to Boss Intense as being similar to Deep Red, also by Hugo Boss. I own both, and while I see the similarities, Deep Red is much sweeter and more tasty. Vanilla does feature in this fragrance, however it's not sugary or particularly feminine. This fragrance has an odd bite to it, being rather bold and resinous in a way. I feel powerful when I wear this fragrance, hence the reason why I recommend this fragrance for the tom-boys and those dominating types of women. Boss Intense was a gift given to me by a friend, and even though it doesn't strike me as something particularly me, I will use the bottle up until the last drop. This fragrance can be overpowering at times, and has a habit of sticking to fabric, especially my sheets. This fragrance really has to be applied lightly for it to be appreciated.

Sex in hot, humid weather in some faraway but not altogether isolated place. The scent is too sophisticated for that. Urban, asian, retro makes me think of Lust Caution by Ang Lee.

What with the spice and the kumquat I can see how some might say it is borderline sickening. But it does not cross that line. Mythically (I've never been) very Southeast Asia, that is the first thing it conjures up. Must be the kumquat. You can feel the ripeness of the fruit in the in the perfume. The scent lays on the skin using the body's heat to insinuate itself on anyone who comes close enough. A perfume with a hook. Will definitely not elicit a shrug for a response.

Starts off floral and spicy. The end of the drydown it smells really "off" and of a very musky sandalwood. The rose is playful and a little sparkling. Not as strong as I would expect from something named intense. Usually something with that suffix is a flanker to another scent but with Hugo Boss's naming scheme for their fragrances I can't figure that out.

Very dry smell, nothing special. I don't like it.

intense...but not in the wrong way. not sweet at all, just a little bit too spicy.... i used it during winter and it worked just fine for me ....

A work colleague used it and I asked the name of the fragrance. As she didn't remember the name, just the Boss brand and the shape of the bottle she draw for me, I went to a store to check what Boss fragrance it was.

Found the Boss Intense, the only bottle resembling the draw she gave me. When tested, the top notes were spicy and citric, based on kumquat. Middle notes were flowers and roses, and smelled like my colleague at office in the morning. Final base notes were soft woods, a bit sweet, and musk. On paper, the last notes remembered me some traces of Anais Anais.

For daytime, office and romantic use, and maybe an evening simple event. The age range seems to be around 25 and 45 years old... my colleague was 26 and it fitted well on her.

I'm fairly ambivalent about this. It has an initial fruity floral scent that settles to nothing special enough to make note of. It's very pleasant, but surely not intense.

I like this one, too. It's the amber of course. ;) I agree that the dry down is lovely, and it lasts a good long time without being overly powerful. Overall, it has a crisp, clean, yet romantic scent. As long as you don't wear too much of it, I think it's sophisticated enough to wear to work as well.

this is NOT sickly at all! admittantly it is quite heady and rich but dries down to a lovely spicy amber musk and i always get compliments from wearing this one. Dads always hate their daughters perfume anyway poolepirate...
