Boss Bottled Oud Saffron

Hugo Boss Bottled Oud Saffron, smells sexy! Opening: You get and rose and saffron right away. The saffron and rose comes across fairly masculine, I'm impressed with how well blended those notes are and how masculine it comes across, very pleasant smell. There is oud here but it hasn't stolen the show, it's just in the background giving the rose and saffron a subtle woody base. Very high quality, very well blended. Middle: The top notes of rose and saffron start to dry down and the freshness goes away, this floral sweetness starts to become more prominent and this fragrance becomes REALLY SEXY. You start to get more oud as well which is a very safe friendly oud, not stinky or dirty in any way. Usually a sweet floral fragrance is going to smell quite feminine but the sweetness isn't over the top and the wood notes from the oud give a nice masculine touch. But there definitely is a mix of masculine and feminine notes here. leaning more masculine. Base: The floral notes die down a bit and oud takes over making a well blended sexy sweet woody combination. don't get me wrong this does smell like oud, but the oud is very safe and subtle and it never goes overly stinky or overly medicinal. Anyone that has experience with real oud would pick up that this is probably not natural oud but whatever they're using has been used on purpose to give the fragrance more of an inoffensive quality. The deep floral notes still linger around in the background. Performance: Excellent. With 4-6 sprays I get about 10 hours. Decent projection for first 2 hours. Sillage very good. Overall: Not gonna be a people pleaser or show stopper for the average person, but for the right occasion when you need something sexy and sweet, this fragrance will shine. If you're looking for something that smells more traditionally masculine, this wouldn't be my first choice. This fragrance blends masculine and feminine notes. Best occasions to wear this would be night time, colder weather and for date nights. Give it a try if you're looking for something different.

This is the best fragrance ever. My story with this fragrance And how i ended up choosing this fragrance as my signature scent. First time i sniff this fragrance was about 7 month ago. I didn't know any thing about fragrances at that time I just had a dream to have my signature scent. I went to the shop and i tested some fragrances like Stronger with you amber and that one. To my nose it was very similar to amber fragrances. Maybe because labdanum in it. This scent is very sweet it.Sometimes feels like that you are smelling honey. But, I don't think it is bad in any way or over powering. In the opening i smell different notes than what existed. I describe the opening as an apple note with hints of leather and a very small hint of Oud ,laubdanum and smoky rose coming from the base note and heart note. After it dies down. I smell a mix of labdanum and rose. Which is very beautiful and distinctive and seems natural. I found that many people who smell this fragrance describe it as a Calm scent. two persons told me that Why i choosed Hugo boss oud saffron to be my signature scent? 1- Projection I was looking for a scent to express my style. To make a statement. I was looking for something to be a noticeable scent I am not putting a deodorant. The projection here is very good. 2- Niche perfume in a lower price. It is very Unique scent. That people can distinguish it and remember it easier. To be unforgettable. 3-Match my preferences I love amber scents, saffron, sweet fragrances and at the same time smoky rose. Just wow Only one Disadvantage. The opening is not the best part of the scent. The saffron note doesn't smell like natural saffron. It is pungent. And if your nose is not super clear. You will feel it is artificial. After 3 months, The opening apealed very bad for me, it smell like an apple scent mabye an apple pie that seems synthetic,Althought, after it dries i get the best smell , i noticed that it has strong creamy milky notes.

Ah, Oud saffron. This is the fragrance i would wholeheartedly run to if i was ever asked to pick a daily wear scent for the rest of my life. Oud saffron is by no means a oud heavy fragrance (think oud ispahan, oud wood) in my honest opinion. The oud is definitely present, and very much there, but it sits as more of a strong base until the dry down and gives room for the other notes to shine. It is truly phenomenal stuff, the top notes are a pungently strong rose and saffron, sharing many of the same scent notes as D&G's mysterious night, another saffron rose oud fragrance, but while mysterious night is more mature and more "grown up" feeling more formal, saffron rose instead has a lot of brightness to it. That brightness combines with the warm oud and subtle swirls of labdanum and create this indescribable "aura". I've worn this all throughout winter and a couple of sprays in the morning is enough to imbed the scent in clothing for a good couple days. Colder temperatures are this gem's bread and butter but if you are careful you can pull this off during fall. There is a certain vague quality that may make it unlikeable for some, it's hard to put into words but a slight mineral-y or boozy? (not sure if that's the best way to describe it) quality that separates it from any oud fragrances in the Boss line. It instead distinguishes itself as a category of its own. I would definitely recommend trying this on paper and then on skin before buying and avoiding blind buying altogether as it is not everyones cup of tea, but for those who do like it, this is a treat of the loveliest kind. Combining this with Mysterious night is an even better way to take this fragrance to a whole new level.

If you were to sample this scent without knowing it's brand, you'd think it's some fancy niche oud fragrance because the quality is quite exceptional. Designer perfumers rarely go out of their way to create something daring and striking as this because it's definitely not made for mass appeal. Oud Saffron is insanely good. The rose and saffron create a very strong opening or "pungent" as I've heard some say. Might still appeal to some but the real equaliser is when you hit the middle and dry down where the oud comes out mixed with some rose. The projection and sillage is very good. In terms of sillage, its definitely on the stronger side so you'd have to be quite conservative with your sprays because people will smell you when you walk in. Projection is eternal especially when you spray on wool. I have cardigans and jackets from 2 months ago that still carry the scent. With skin i could still smell it on my wrist after a day at work so 9-12 hours easy. This is definitely one for the winter, and even then should be used sparingly otherwise you risk choking people out. Usage in fall could apply too as long as it doesn't get a bit warm. I don't care who you are. There's no way anyone pulls this sort of oud in summer and spring. The rose and saffron would simply be unbearable... If you're into Ouds this one really deserves to be part of your collection.

Oud Saffron was a blind buy for me... Oud Saffron is a fall and winter stunner for those that enjoy fragrances that contain the dominate notes of: warm spicy, oud, rose, amber and leather! 💯 When I wear Oud Saffron it reminds me of Issey Miyake Or Encens, Dior Fahrenheit Gucci Guilty Absolute and Moschino Toy Boy. Despite the these similarities that come to mind Oud Saffron still has its own scent identity. The rose/saffron notes have been masterfully blended so that the fragrance doesn't smell feminine but instead smells sexy with a lot of masculinity! 👍 With this being said...I suspect Oud Saffron will be more appealing to men than women. Nonetheless, women who enjoy masculine oud/rose/amber/leather/spicy fragrances should also consider Oud Saffron. 🤣 Oud Saffron is niche juice in a designer bottle with discounted designer price tag! 🔥 🥳 Performance and projection are above average and not nuclear making Oud Saffron an easy fragrance to wear for its entire lifecycle. Oud Saffron is a workhorse and most people will easily yield 12 of performance. Oud Saffron is an extremely safe blind buy for people that enjoy various formulations of oud dominate fragrances. Newer noses or those that struggle with oud dominate fragrances should proceed with caution and consider sampling Oud Saffron first! 🧐🤓 Overall: 9/10

I've had this one for quite a while now and I was surprised I hadn't commented upon it. This one in my opinion is the best of the three in the H.B bottled Oud line. Don't get me wrong Oud & Oud Aromatic are awesome but it's that touch of Saffron that made the difference. A combination made in heaven for me and it is almost as good as Aramis Calligraphy Saffron which is much more expensive for obvious reasons. Overall this is a beautifully blended fragrance that hangs around for a long time with just two squirts! I am a big fan Hugo Boss anyway but this one just adds that touch of class to the bottled line. The bottled line stands heads and shoulders above all other H.B. fragrances with the exception of the five in 'The Scent' line, and Private Accord/Pure Accord being my favourite in that line! I give Oud Saffron a well deserved 9 out 10 for all round quality and performance, and I would not hesitate to recommend it because of its touch of class👌❤️😃! Thank Hugo Boss for this one!

I have always loved the Boss Bottled DNA and have tried a fair few Oud Fragrances over the years. I remember trying Oud Saffron on the back of my wrist in a store some years ago and thought this is nice so I blind bought it some years later. This does not disappoint, however the Boss DNA is not really there at all and this is a heavy Rose/Oud scent in it's own right. It is definitely not your usual Boss Bottled offering that is for sure! i don't get the plastic opening that many have experienced, in fact I get punched in the face with Rose to start with, slight saffron and then the heavy Oud smell kicks in. It smells lovely in the dry down so you do need to give it some time. It projects off me like a beast, I can still smell this after 12h+. Really great Winter fragrance from the house of Hugo Boss, easily worth the money IMO but probably don't blind buy unless you love Rose and Oud! 9/10

This one is kind of a sleeper. Off the nozzle and on paper it smells too strong of saffron. Strong like when you put too much saffron in your rice and it completely overpowers it with a bitter, medicinal taste. On skin, however, it lightens up big time and the rose really comes out and creates a very pleasant oud rose combo. The saffron still remains strong, more than similar type fragrances, but it is very well balanced. As a whole it's also a relatively light fragrance for what it is. I'm kind of impressed with this Boss Bottled Oud line so far. They seem Middle East inspired for a Western audience. Very easy wearing. I would actually say this is light enough to wear for most of the year, minus the hottest of days. Longevity is lacking, but that would be expected with a scent this light. A nice surprise for me from this one.

This is a hidden gem masterpiece. Not much hype surrounding this one, I have to thank a Gents Scents video for putting me on to this one. Jammy rose, pungent saffron and oud. Definite niche quality. Great longevity, and this stuff will push out off of you. A western nose probably needs to smell this a few times before passing judgement, and you're probably not going to get many compliments in the western world wearing this. But this is just a beautiful cooler weather fragrance. Love to see a designer taking some chances amd not going with the safe play.

So surprised to see dislikes here... Such a well-balanced scent, exactly giving you the impression of oud and saffron in a perfect combination. I managed to find it in Oman duty-free, and bought it after testing. It stays on the skin for hours with a delightful aura of woody and slightly spicy notes, and no exaggerated sweetness like with many ouds. Those who are used to loud and sticky ouds will not enjoy this one: it's a modern gentleman's soft and sensual scent, not an opulent oriental, but that's why it's perfect for me.

I couldn't help it but to buy this beautiful scent, i saw it on shelf tried it among 10s of perfumes the likes of Dior Homme, YSL collection, Pacco Rabanne. I can say there's nothing like it. I was a beginner then still i appreciate it so much in my collection and one of my best buys totally in love with it. I see it's either a love or hate perfume a little extreme so try it first but you actually should :) If this has a Tom Ford tag it would be sold with a very high price tag I confirm.

was a bit hesitant to buy this regarding some reviewers said it smells like ‘ stale beer ‘.Glad i didn’t care much.It smells no beer or something like that at all.I love it from the opening to drydown.opening reminds me of mix of nuit de feu/ombre nomade by louis vuitton.It gets more syrupy/spicy as it driesdown but my nose can pick up oud/saffron.Amazing fragrance,with strong sillage for this price.If you love oud/rose/saffron you won’t regret.

I like the Boss Bottled DNA, but mixing it with Oud and Saffron was.....weird. Oud and Saffron are two of my favourite notes, and they're there, but they don't stand out as much as they should because of the Boss Bottled sweet apple vibe in the background. It was a lot to ask to mix Boss Bottled DNA with oud, but surprisingly, it's not the monstrosity I expected, however, it truly does smell like stale beer & not in a bad way.

A seductive, metallic and dominating saffron with a touch of oud, screeching opening but after 15 mins its just a wonderful and powerful statement maker, with even better performance and longevity, really puzzled by why this does not get more love. My second all time favorite by Boss, and one of the most alluring fragrances from the house, solid choice for anyone seeking a great take on saffron, and is a banger for the price.

This is REALLY nice. Jammy rose with some spices around the edges. I'm not big on rose notes but in this it's delicious. Smells like some kind of baked desert but not at all cloying. There's some of the original oud dna underneath but it's not the first thing you'd notice. This also isn't really an oud scent or at least I pick up none. A winner. 8.5/10

I read all reviews, kinda was surprised that no one mentioned how sexy it is. Raw, animalistic, when you and she are really horny, and it kinda feels dirty. sex in a bottle. I can relate to a lot that had been said, the slight stench, the plastic/crude oil. It is there, but after a while it developed into this warm, sexy scent. Enjoy

If you feel like secret saffron from maison crivelli is not enough for you, you can go for this one. This is a burst of saffron notes and i like it! I do feel like there is some leather notes in this though it's not stated that make the scent a bit rubbery and nauseating. I just wish the oud is stronger

Amazing fragrance for temperatures around zero, really works well in the cold. Don't recommend blind buying it although that's what I did and it took around 5 uses before i started to like it. I now look forward to freezing temps so I can wear it

Bought this for my sister’s graduation celebration. It lasts easily 10+hours with 3 sprays. Warm, inviting, special. The scent develops pleasantly, as a whole totally not a Boss scent but reaching for the niche spectre.

This cologne is actually really amazing, stays on my shirt for about 2 days and it’s well balanced. It starts off a bit harsh, but settles after some minutes. Scent- 10/10 Performance- 8/10
