The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic, Boss The Scent Private Accord is an Oriental Woody fragrance that balances warmth with freshness. The composition opens with a bright blend of ginger and bergamot, which gives way to the rich, earthy notes of coffee and cacao. The heart features fruity accents like maninka and pineapple, adding a touch of sweetness without overpowering the overall woody base. Patchouli and amberwood provide a grounding warmth, while benzoin adds a subtle smoky undertone.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the rich base notes have time to develop. The fresh spicy top notes dissipate quickly, but the woody warmth will linger throughout the day. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its warm, cozy character can shine.
