The story behind the bottle.
Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum, launched in 2016 by Hugo Boss and crafted by perfumer Annick Ménardo, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that weaves together warmth and freshness. The opening notes of apple and orange blossom give way to the rich complexity of cinnamon and cloves, creating an invigorating yet cozy sensation. The heart notes of geranium add a subtle floral touch, while the base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver provide a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fresh top notes will catch the attention immediately, but give it time for the base notes to develop and envelop you in warmth throughout the day.
