I'll give it a try, Boss Bottled is not bad at all.

Who knows, they may have been trying to perfect this fragrance for the past 13-14 years!

The bottle design would appear to be "inspired" by Allure Homme Sport.

It is somewhat appealing to my faint OCD but what's with writting "Sport" in red? Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Armani and now Hugo??

NEEDS MORE SPORT!

I've kinda grown tired of Boss and their lineup. I still like some of their fragrances, but it's getting kinda old with all the pretty similar scents.

My nose is drawn elsewhere, but I suspect I'm just turning kinda snobby :/ Note to self - sample some good old Boss frags for longevity later this week / month

I don't think your snobby, I just think the Boss fragrances are generally quite poor these days, same can be said for Ralph Lauren and CK etc. With these brands it really seems like the focus is on the marketing behind the product, rather than the product itself.

I was lucky enough to try this about 2 weeks ago during a trial thing at Macy's. A platonic girl friend of mine who works there allowed me to sample it. They are supposed to be pushing this and The One Sport really hard in the next couple months.

As for the fragrance itself, it's not bad. Mostly citrus, with a light vetiver note in the background. Linear, the vetiver is almost hard to detect, and smells more like lemon grass, but it's there. It reminded me of Eau Maximum by Nickel quite a bit. Not bad, but not great. I'll stick with Eau Maximum for 8 bucks a bottle.

I have probably missed some good ones over the years but I don't own a bottle of anything that has "Sport" in the name. I have tried many but haven't found any that I would buy.

+1. I think the only "sport" fragrance I ever could stand was the long since discontinued Sport de Paco Rabanne.

I think it's great. Very green vegetal and pretty dry, with a big musk in the drydown. Totally unlike any other Boss frags I have come across -- much more natural. It has the best, most up-front marigold aka tagetes note of any masculine fragrance I have tried.

Considering the original Boss Bottled is one of my favorites of all time, niche or designer or whatever, I'm going to have to do this:

I think it would be a good idea to get all of the 'Sport' flankers together and do a blind test for the average consumer. Would one be more popular than the other? Or, would no one be able to tell a single difference between them? I'd honestly go with the latter.

Tried that bottled sport couple of days ago and it was just as undistinguished and boring as we thought. Original Boss bottled is very nice instead. This is just marketing and advertising, nothing more.

Dior Homme Sport, Antaeus Homme Sport, Kouros Sport, Boss Sport (green & red) & Paco Rabanne Homme Sport were/are all decent frags in solid quality IMHO

Hugo Boss does it again. Year after year they produce the most forgettable fragrances in the fragrance market and one of the reasons Axe and Lynx became popular.

I think Hugo Boss gets my vote as the overall worst fragrance house, they pump out fragrances like crazy and each is worse than the one previously released. The only good Boss fragrance IMO is Boss Bottled and there now ruining the name......sigh

They already ruined Boss Bottle with Bottled (good)night

As said Boss Sport from 1987 is pretty decent Sport juice- actually my first ever sport juice.
I now own 4 sport flankers: Lanvin L'Homme Sport, Dior Homme Sport & Chanel Allure Sport & Chanel Allure Eau Extreme Sport, all forgettable yet pretty decent Sport flankers IMHO

Why people time after time diss a frag before even test it ?

I know Sport frags for certain people are 99.99% junk juice, but come on - Dior Homme Sport and Lanvin l'Homme Sport are very good Sport flankers. Well made juice, you may hate it like I hate Dior Homme Intense, but I at least realize DHI is good quality but barf worthy juice

I know most of you will hate this fragrance (primarly because of the name of the brand), but for me it was love at first sniff. Boss Bottled Sport is a soapy citrusy spicy fragrance, with a notable grapefruit and pepper. What I really like is a good sillage and longevity that was unexpected from the Boss fragrance. Much better than D&G The One Sport / Tommy Hilfiger Man Sport / Allure Homme Sport Extreme!

I have tried it - inoffensive, but rather generic sweetness, I like the initial Boss Bottled (as opposed to its two flankers)
