Boss Bottled Intense

My signature winter scent. I love the original Boss Bottled #6 DNA though I find that to be a little light and not very long lasting. I was looking for a winter scent and I set my sights on the Boss Bottled line. Did a ton of research and tested almost every scent (that was presently available, not discontinued and that I could try in stores) but had minor nitpicks with each that I tried; Bottled Elixir I found a bit too strong though I did like it initially; Bottled EDP and Parfum smelled completely different from #6; Bottled Infinite smelled really good but wasn’t sure it would be best as a winter scent. The only one I didn’t try was Bottled Absolu. I also tried The Scent line but I found almost all the flankers to be a bit too sweet for my liking. I kept going back on Fragrantica to read about Bottled Intense and most reviewers mentioned how this was just a longer lasting, more “Intense” version of #6. That seemed perfect to me as I just love the OG, and if it’s a more “stronger” version of that, then it’d be perfect for me as a Winter fragrance and even if it doesn’t smell exactly the same as #6, I am ok with this. Of course, this fragrance had to be discontinued by Hugo Boss, but I didn’t lose hope as I browsed through forums and reddit and they mentioned how online retailers sometimes get a restock on Bottled Intense (and its EDP variant). I was ecstatic when I discovered it was available on Jomashop (as a gift set no less) and it was 65 USD! A steal IMO. I blind bought it and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. As other reviewers pointed out, it’s true to its namesake of Intense. Still retains the original Boss #6 DNA while being darker, longer lasting (8+ hours on my skin) and just all around pleasing scent. I’ve been using it as my daily winter fragrance, rotating with Spicebomb (another bomb of a scent). It’s just unfortunate that this specific flanker is discontinued (the listing has since disappeared on Jomashop). However, thankfully, there is a clone that is 95% similar: Nazih Silver. I bought that just to preserve my original bottled as long as possible. It’s crazy similar though it lasts a bit less than the original (about 6.5+ hours on my skin). Pinnace Noir is apparently another clone though I have yet to try it. A wonderful scent that I’d rate at least a 9/10.

Been wearing this for a few days received this as a gift from a friend but had previously tested it out in stores before. I think it is a very simple but pleasantly nice scent that gets the job done. I'm planning to test this out more over the coming days as I'm considering using it as my office/work scent in cooler months and have occasionally used it as a bedtime scent. But so far it has been pretty promising. The scent opens with some citrus and prominent tartyness from the apple making it pretty fresh initially for a the first 5-10 mins. The freshness fades with the apple note remaining as the spices of cinnamon most predominantly and cardamon become more noticeable. As this continues to settle on the skin this combination blends majestically to create an apple pie/apple crumble accord which lasts for majority of the fragrance. I get some woods coming in much later in the progression but it adds to the very cosy feel of this fragrance. The performance of this fragrance is pretty good so far lasting around 8 hours on my skin it projects strongly first two hours before slowly settling. It becomes a skin scent at around 5 hours. I will update this as soon as get more wears out of it but I am happy UPDATE; After more testing it is a very intoxicating scent I love it. The performance is amazing easily lasting around 10 hours. I've gotten a few compliments here and there but its pretty average for compliments compared to some others in my collection. Worth it ! I'm gonna get another bottle before these become hard to find Scent 9/10 Compliments 7/10 Projection 8/10 Longevity 9/10 Overall 8.8/10

Just a quick update to my previous review to comment on its performance. I sprayed this on my wrist this morning and one of its dupes, Nazih Silver which actually is a dupe of the EDP version of BBI, on my other wrist just to compare their scent and longevity. Over almost 9 hours later, I can still catch whiffs of Boss Bottled Intense and smell it on my wrist, whereas Nazih Silver pretty much disappeared after the 6 hour mark. In regards to the scent, upon first spray, I can immediately tell BBI has the higher quality and more refined scent with Nazih having the more synthetic smell. Nazih also seems to have a stronger clove note which isn't terrible, but I immediately preferred BBI. On the drydown, they both start to be quite similar but with BBI having the ever so slight edge and having the better scent. Boss Bottled has had many dupes including the Intense variants, yet Hugo Boss continues to impress not only in terms of scent profile and quality, but also performance! And this is the EDT of Intense too! Such a shame that this is discontinued. Hopefully, Hugo Boss will bring this back or have another flanker that resembles this scent profile in the future.

This is like the new, modern Boss Bottled. As I‘ve stated in my Boss Bottled review, this stuff is quite amazing. Now, when it comes to the intense version, it gets even better! I got this right after it was released and used it up fairly quickly and I have to say, the performance is fantastic. It lasts an entire day without a problem. It‘s not really much stronger in it‘s smell itself, it just lasts longer - which is exactly what I‘m looking for in an intense version of a perfume. If you‘re considering Boss, consider the intense version! Unfortunately I haven‘t tried the edp‘s but generally speaking, a more intense version will be worth it!
