Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum

This is the fragrance that got me into the perfume game. When I first smelled it I thought and still do thing it’s the ultimate fragrance in my opinion. This fragrance is what a gentleman wears straight up. All the dupes I’ve tried haven’t gotten close to it. I hate hate HATE how the best fragrances always get discontinued. It was my signature throughout all of high school and this fragrance made me a guy known to smell good. It’s a banger and wish boss bring it back. I’ve had a backup bottle I just keep for memories and I told my family the only time I’m spraying this scent is for my wedding lol. Say what you want but this fragrance is that special to me. As I mentioned I’ve bought most the dupes for this and none hit the same as the OG. I have pinnace noir by French avenue which is similar in the DNA but simply isn’t as beautifully blended as the OG. And I have Nazih Silver by fragrance world or lattafa I forgot who was the company maker but that one smells like a more synthetic version but surprisingly the projection was good. Like @Rokinrandy said since the discontinuation of this fragrance it’s as if there seems to be a missing hole. I’ve been trying to fill in this void in my heart ever since this left the fragrance game but I will NEVER EVER forget it. EVERRRR. One of the greatest not just scenes but greatest DNAs of a fragrance I’ve ever smelt. 10000000/10 legendary “GOAT” status type of scent.

this fragrance doesnt lie to you. it's called "intense" and it's true, this has basically the same(great) smell of the original boss bottled just more intense, there is more depht and richness. i hate when a flaker smells different(and worse) than the standard version, look at la nuit de l'homme line for example...the original b.b. is a pillar of the designer category but it's very watered down today. so if you like the famous apple-cinnamon combo grab it without care. performance is moderate, better than the original boss bottled of today. for every season but summer, day and night, every situation is good. for 25 and up. to me the best flanker over the absolute, parfum etc....yes it's discontinued but you can still find it for a good price. i love it! boss bottled intense è "semplicemente" la versione originale con più corpo e sostanza. se vi piace boss bottled ma trovate frustrante quanto sia stato depotenziato nel corso degli anni allora questo è il profumo che fa per voi. scent-8,5 long-7,5 sillage-7,5 versatility-8,5 uniqueness-7 presentation-7 compliment factor-8 back up bottle? yes my vote-8,5 in one word- fair alternative- boss bottled, gai mattiolo that's amore

This is a warmer and more mature version of the original Boss Bottled. I was a little skeptical about this one, as the original has a plum note, which is one of my favorite notes in fragrances, but now that I have tried that, I don't think I even smelled plum in the original. This still has the gourmand vibe with the vanilla, apple, and cinnamon, but I find this to be more manly, more mature, and a little classier due to it being warmer because of the different wood notes and fewer fruit notes when compared to the original Boss Bottled. I should also note that since I did use the EDP version of Boss Bottled Intense, it does last longer and project more, which was an issue that I had with the original Boss Bottled. The original smelled very nice but it sat too close to my skin which I obviously do not prefer. With that in mind, the Intense EDP is only of moderate projection for me. I would have preferred a tad more projection with this type of scent, but it is not bad. This would be a perfect scent to use on dates, chilly days, or days that you just want to feel cozy, whilst still smelling classy and manly. I love this from the beginning to the end.

In the Fragrentica ratings it says the performance is good. But it is really worse. I am living in Sri Lanka and having much heat (around 29C' at daytime). And it will lasts only 2 hours maximum. And I am only spraying on my cloths and it does not have the power to stay for longer even though it is EDP.!!! The smell is much more like the matured version of the YSL L'Homme. It does not smell good in summer. But it does smell good when rains and cool areas. For me, it is NO NO (It does not last long). If you are living in a country where you have summer and 26C' + weather, then do not get this. This is good if you are living in a place where you see moisture + rain + cool weather. I have smelled this in a store where it has a climate controlled environment (It has an Air conditioner which cools the air). So I thought it smells good in the outside too. Huge letdown. :( Scent -> 5/10 Performance -> 2/10 (EDP really???) Uniqueness -> 6.5/10 Versatility ->5/10 (This is not good for fancy outings) --Update 2020 Feb-- Scent -> 8/10 Performance -> 5/10 (EDP really???) Uniqueness -> 8/10 Versatility ->7/10 (This is not good for fancy outings)

My favorite fall fragrance. To me, this is hands down the best Boss Bottled version. This is how an intense version of a fragrance ought to be made: long-lasting, darker, more focused on the heavier notes, and with good projection. If this were not discontinued, I would probably use it as my signature scent. Now I need to be somewhat frugal with it. I have only four bottles that will eventually run dry, never to be smelled again. So sad. The opening smells like woody apple juice. The vanilla is not so prominent to my nose. I don't get much of that apple pie vibe many talk about. It does not smell like apple cider, but to me, it's ever so slightly boozy in some sense. The fragrance has just the right amount of sweetness. It's fruity sweet, not sugar sweet. I wish the late dry down smelled a bit more of solid wood, though. This fragrance is masculine, sophisticated, stylish, and so versatile. Except for the beach and high heat weather, there are not many occasions where you would go wrong with this fragrance. A real compliment puller deluxe. I hate that it is discontinued.
