The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Hugo Boss and crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey, Boss Ma Vie Pour Femme Intense is a Floral fragrance for women that embodies the spirit of strength and independence. The composition opens with the fresh, vibrant aroma of cactus flower, which gives way to a heart of rose buds, adding a touch of soft femininity. The base notes of cedar provide warmth and depth, creating an intermezzo in dynamic days, where one can pause and enjoy simple moments of life as pure happiness.
Boss Ma Vie Pour Femme Intense has a strong presence but stays close to skin. For optimal wear, apply two sprays to pulse points and let it develop naturally over time — this ensures the cactus flower top note complements the woody base notes as they settle in.
