Boss Bottled Oud Aromatic

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives — where the sharp freshness of citrus meets the warm, balsamic richness of oud.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Boss Bottled Oud Aromatic, launched in 2019 by Hugo Boss and crafted by perfumer Annick Ménardo, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the freshness of orange blossom with the depth of oud. The opening note of orange blossom brings a bright, citrusy sparkle to the composition, which then transitions into the rich, earthy warmth of myrrh in the heart. At its core lies agarwood (oud), grounding the scent with its smoky, balsamic aroma. This fragrance is not just a blend of notes but an invitation to experience the juxtaposition between crisp clarity and profound depth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points in the morning; the orange blossom top note is bright but fades within a couple of hours. The rich, smoky base of oud will linger throughout the day, making it suitable for both professional and evening settings.
