Boss Elements

"when was the last time you felt all the elements?" this is the question u can read on the booklet included in boss elements, and in this case the marketing is perfect. boss elements embodies all the four elements and that's what makes this edt so special. the notes i detect more are aldehydes, lavender, musk, oakmoss, some spicies and cedar, no leather to my nose. boss elements reminds wet rocks in the waterfall or river. u can feel an invigorating freshness(water) but not heavy, it's more airy(wind). the smell has something a bit earthy, mineral(earth) and at the same time the spicies give a warm and masculine vibe(fire). it's not easy to compare to other fragrances, boss elements it's a great edt but be careful for a blind buy because it takes time to be fully appreciated. i think this scent is still easy wearable despite it comes from the 90's. the performance is just ok on my skin, i was expecting something more(long 5-6 hours, projection 1,5 hours then a skin scent), fortunately i love the aroma. nice bottle as well. good for people over 30, for casual situations or work, for spring, fall and summer evenings, not enough potent for winter in my opinion. un profumo non facile da trovare, semplice e complesso allo stesso tempo. in questo caso il marketing è veramente azzeccato, unisce tutte le caratteristiche dei 4 elementi: è un profumo fresco e rinvigorente(acqua), ma non è pesante bensì leggero e "arioso"(aria), ha note di base un pò rocciose quasi minerali( terra), mentre le note speziate danno calore a mascolinità( fuoco). scent- 8,5 long-6 sillage-6 uniqueness-8,5 versatility-8 bottle-8,5 compliment factor-7 rebuy?no my vote-8,5 in one word- elements(what else?)

This was one of my favourate fragrances in the late1990s and probably the best smelling one out all I have owned from this house. I have always thought that it is a very unique smelling fragrance and personally have not come across anything similar. It is both fresh with a bit of spice without being heavy which probably makes it suitable for most of the year. I would rate this 8/10 UPDATE: I received two 50 ml bottles from the USA this morning and am happy with my decision to order them. Exactly the way I remembered Elements to smell like. According to my batch code it seems like my products were made in early 2002 which is probably around the time it got discontinued. Longevity seems to be OK. I do feel that it will really shine in Spring and Summer weather and as we are entering Winter now, will rather pack it away until then.

I bought this on recommendation from a friend who is very knowledgeable about fragrances. He informed me this has been discontinued for many years (since around 2000) and a small number of bottles became available from a well known online seller. Im glad he suggested it, especially since its likely I'll never find it again, and I enjoy it. Its not a 10/10 for me by any means, but it is a really great scent. The only remotely similar fragrance I've ever tried is Davidoff cool water, but with added leather, and no aquatic notes if that makes sense. It really shines in spring or fall rainy weather, and summer evenings. I'd say its not worth really seeking out, but if you happen to find a bottle for cheap its worth it, especially as a collector.

Fantastic fragrance, sadly discontinued and becoming more and more a rarity. Finely balanced between reserved florals, clean spicy aromatics and musky leather. Fits any season or occasion, very versatile and if you like Ungaro's Pour L'Homme III with its nice prominence of the rose note, this is rather similar but with enough variance to add variety to your arsenal. Longevity and sillage are moderate but the scent itself is classy, reserved, well balanced and soft scent that is very hard not to like. Good stuff.

Coming back to this one: for me the most natural smelling fragrance. The air, earth, fire, water theme is perfectly resembled in this masterpiece. I guess Fahrenheit Aqua wanted to create something similar which is nice but this one is miles better. Warmth of the fire, dirth of the ground, freshness from wind and water are blended to perfection. The comfort it provides is unmatched and the mossy drydown is pure heaven.
