The story behind the bottle.
Boss Bottled Sport, launched in 2012 and created by Calice Becker, is an aromatic and citrus-driven fragrance that embodies the energy of modern urban life. The composition opens with a burst of grapefruit and aldehydes, bringing a fresh and invigorating feel to the forefront. This vibrant top note gives way to lavender and cardamom in the heart, adding layers of complexity and warmth. Vetiver anchors the base, providing depth and a grounding earthiness that ties everything together.
Boss Bottled Sport is best applied in moderation — its bright top notes are vibrant but quick to fade. The aldehydic presence ensures it reads well up close rather than projecting widely, so aim for two sprays on pulse points and let the warmth of the skin bring out the vetiver base.
