The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Annick Ménardo for Hugo Boss, the Boss Bottled 20th Anniversary Edition is a Woody Spicy fragrance that encapsulates the essence of modern elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus and fruity notes like apple and plum, adding a fresh and vibrant touch. As it evolves, warm spices like cinnamon and geranium emerge, giving way to a rich base of sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla, creating a balanced harmony between freshness and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced experience. The fruity top notes are vibrant but short-lived, so it's best to let the warmer base notes develop over time. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear as its freshness complements the energy of the morning.
