Boss Alive Parfum

I think this is a an underrated perfume that will appeal to all leather/sexy fragrance lovers. After a few hours, it slowly fades into powdery, soft notes, but still retains its sexy side. This is the perfume you imagine independent, feminine women. In my opinion, it is a rather universal/non-polarizing fragrance, which may then result in lower ratings due to insufficient "originality". Again, I just seem to love it.

The opening is fruity and reminds me the Alive Intense version. But it disappears in 1-2 minutes and then it is sweet creamy woody and musky on me. I have to say, I fell in love with the scent - even if it is a bit oldschool.

This is delicious! Like apple pie with vanilla cream, yammy! I like the original too, but this one’s even better. (Notes listed on this site are incorrect in my opinion.)

If I would have to choose only one perfume to wear for the rest of time this would be it.

Category: Masculine, sensual Notes: This sprays on incredibly masculine, heavy on the leather with a twinge of freshness from the jasmine. The jasmine also makes it a little stingy, but that’s mellowed out by the vetiver which quickly makes an appearance. Eventually settles in an almost juicy leather base note with a background note of smokey, round vetiver and something mildly woody. Vibe: Wearing your boyfriend’s tee. Suave. Suede boots. Leather jacket. Cigarettes outside the bar. Autumn jumper. Motorcyclist. Black skinny jeans. Make-out sessions in the doorway. A cup of black coffee on a rainy afternoon. Picking songs at the jukebox. Jean shorts. Late summer nights. Kissing in the rain. Sillage: 2/10. Incredibly intimate, very low-key for a scent that is somehow also very bold. Longevity: 6/10. It’s still there after 4 hours of wear, but it becomes incredibly intimate after about 30 minutes and I assume it'll likely be entirely gone within the next few hours. Update: does not pass the 24 hour test. Wear: Day or night, it’s very mellow and intimate. I’d say this works year round, but the vetiver and leather together makes me lean towards calling this a fall scent. Something about it reminds me of rainy afternoons. Overall rating: 6.5/10. One of the more difficult scents I’ve had to rate. It smells good, like... REALLY good, but did I miss the memo? Is this really a woman's scent? This makes me smell like I’ve been rolling around the sheets with a man all night. Which I don’t hate, I mean, it can be the vibe sometimes if you’re have a very lonely, delulu moment and want to play pretend for a bit. But I don’t detect anything feminine about this, it genuinely just feels like wearing men’s cologne. All of that to say that I’d absolutely adore this scent on a man. This reminds me mildly of Bleu de Chanel, but with a larger focus on the leather rather than the vetiver which by comparison is very heavy in Bleu de Chanel. I’d describe it as incredibly sensual and sexy, but in a very masculine way. I really do like it though... hmm. Conflicted to say the least! Who would wear it?: Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil, Detective Loki in Prisoners (2013). This is a man’s scent in my mind but a woman who would pull this off is Sigourney Weaver. It could also work on a very feminine woman with a strong aura (maybe someone like Michelle Pfeiffer?) as a subversive kind of thing.
