Boss in Motion

First, the lotion I am reviewing is available (since 2021) as a square bottle with a pale apricot-orange liquid, not the sphere-shaped original with a solid silver plastic case. I never tried the early 2000s version nor do I know if this batch was recently reformulated along with the new transparent boxy glass... Hugo Boss In Motion is delightful both to the eyes and the nose. Regarding the latter, you get the scent of orange peel upfront. It's very balanced: intense but not cloying, fresh but not acidic. Then a few minutes later cinnamon and nutmeg make their appearance in an exquisite way. Finally, the lotion settles down eventually with a creamy aroma that is soothing, upscale and gourmand (a delicious and rightfully spiced pumpkin pie comes to mind, or a milk-based sweet orange-cardamom popsicle made with premium ingredients). Somewhat long lasting because I spray four times early in the morning at 8am, and by 2pm it still lingers in my skin and clothes. Do not expect a bomb or an attention-grabbing eau de toilette; In Motion is subdued and elegant. Decent projection. Remarkably versatile for any time of year (Spring and Autumn being the best). Suitable for day or night, formal or casual situations. Any age group really although better marketed for the 30-50 year-old crowds. And finally, it can be had for a great price. A winning juice for the German fashion company, and us wearers!

This is a fragrance that I owned in the 2000s and I thought I’d buy it again out of nostalgia, and I was a little confused when I searched to make a purchase as the bottle that I had back in the 2000s was the 90ml silver space age ball style but the current bottle is a transparent rectangular glass, I ended up buying the new 100ml transparent version, the bottle is elegant and premium and it is the same fragrance, the smell is exactly the same as I remember it, this is sometimes uncommon in the fragrance world due to reformulations but I was pleasantly surprised that this fragrance hasn’t changed at all, it’s an easy to wear fragrance that sits close to the skin, and it’s very versatile, this can be worn in all seasons in my opinion, its citrusy but not in a sharp way, rather a sweet bergamot opening but the warmer notes like sandalwood, nutmeg and musk do a good job in balancing the green notes, it’s a fairly linear fragrance, what you get in the opening notes is pretty much what sits on your skin for hours. I recommend it.

This is one of those that is timeless in my eyes. I wore this all during the early 2000's and it was before I was nearly as deep into the hobby but I still after all the scents I have smelled I still hold this one close to my heart. Impossible to dislike this. I picked up new bottle after not having it for over 15 years. I even found one in the ball bottle. The orange is very synthetic but in a good way. Like the McDonalds orange drink compared to real orange juice. Its not as real but somehow smells better because of all the added sugar. The dry down blends the creamy orange and cardamom into musky woods so nicely. Longevity is decent. Projection is average. Great for spring and fall daytime casual usage. I'm probably too old to pull this off but its never leaving my collection and makes me happy everytime I smell it. Would be great for college age guys up to 30 or so. 8/10 update : The grown up version of this is Bond No 9 Sutton Place

Creamy orange, with an ever-so-slight spicy note. Trip down memory lane. Gives off creamsickle vibes. Terrible bottle design (I know it's distinctive, but this is just so bad. It shouldn't be a chore to apply the fragrance! Like with Happy, there are better modern, orange-forward fragrances on the market today... but unlike Happy, this is a bit heavier, more versatile, and probably a bit more of a year-round scent. A good layering option (try with tobacco and incense scents for an added little extra something). Moderate projection and longevity, lasts 3-4 hours with a nice dry down due to the balanced scent profile. A really nice, well-crafted scent. I doubt if this is still readily available nowadays, but don't sleep on it if you happen to come across it in the wild or already have it in your collection. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

If only they bring this back... Remember was a 8-9 year old child when tried my first perfume at uncles house... oh it was this the one n only boss in motion: fell in love immediately and this will last a lifetime. such a shame to Hugo Boss discontinuing this genuine most attractive aromas. They did same with boss bottled couple years ago.. i went to different boutiques asking to recreate but no one wants and can to do the same , My best wishes to the creator of this perfume, this is one of a kind longevity can be better but the citrusy aroma made me happy every time i sprayed it PLEASE MAKE IT AGAIN ALL SAME BUT MORE INTENSE: PERFUME version will be an absolute hit !!
