The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 by Hugo Boss, BOSS The Collection Velvet Amber is an Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Annick Ménardo. This composition opens with a warm and inviting balsamic accord that gives way to the rich, enveloping notes of amber and vanilla, creating a deeply comforting scent experience. A powdery and woody base adds a subtle depth, making this fragrance both elegant and familiar.

How to wear it

Apply Velvet Amber to pulse points for a lasting warmth that evolves throughout the day. The balsamic top notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on the woody base which carries the fragrance well into the evening.
