BOSS Number One - Eau de Toilette for Him - Ambery Fragrance with Notes of Nutmeg, Patchouli and Balsamic Accords - Medium Longevity - 100ml

Bought as a present

My husband loved it.

Favourite smell, excellent price, arrived on time, well wrapped.

I first tried this when it was launched in the mid eighties......and that summed up my opinion! Definitely a product of the eighties! Strong at first, oddly sweet for a man's fragrance, not particularly lasting and just a hint of something very slightly artificial about it. That said, that was how I felt about it when I tested it on myself. (Oh don't ask....I just had a thing about aftershaves at that time!) I have to say my opinion is completely different now. It is said to have 'middle notes' of honey, jasmine and rosemary. I find I detect those aspects - particularly the honey and the jasmine coming to the fore very early on. The supposed 'topnotes' of bergamot, lavender and sage just pass me by! After a couple of hours or so a more 'earthy' smell begins to emerge - possibly from the patchouli or the oakmoss and something richer, more woody - likely the sandalwood element. The light sweetness is retained however. I still find it is not a very long lasting fragrance, though, This is not a fragrance that everyone will like, in fact I think it could be one of those scents you either love or hate. Of course, the other extremely important factor is how it reacts on the person. When my husband uses it, the woodiness and the spice seem to emerge far more strongly and the sweetness is a little more subdued. My recommendation is simple - make sure you sample this first before you make a purchase. And try it on you - not just a piece of paper or a quick sniff of a bottle.

So I've been a fragrance addict for around 25 years now, in that time I have purchased over 500 different fragrances. This is in my top 25. Released in 1985 this aromatic fragrance boasts main accords of woody, fresh spicy, honey and tabacco Notes. This fragrance is absolutely outstanding it's a huge compliments puller it projects extremely well, 2 meters first 2 hours, 1 meter hours 2-5 and half a meter 5 hours onwards, the longevity is also awesome, I get 7 hours on my skin and up to 12 hours on clothes. This fragrance is utterly ridiculous, it's soooo good, if you haven't tried it then I highly recommend you do. Very versatile and will suit 20-70 year old men. If you found this helpful I'd appreciate it if you would select the helpful icon. Thanks.

It’s a nice one but I don’t like how smell like cigarettes 😵‍💫

Bought as a birthday present said loves the fragrance

I like to have a change fromt eh usuals every now and then, so after Dior Sauvage, Paco Raban Million I thought I'd try Hugo Boss. Only slight complaint is that the bottle is a bit hard to hold and squirt comfortably due to its shape. Smells good though. Good price on offer as well.
