Boss In Motion Black

Boss in Motion Black opens with a very soft projection of mostly kumquat, bergamot, and ginger. The opening accords are very faint. The kumquat is a note that can be described as a combination of unsweet orange, with mild sour and green vegetable-like accord. The grapefruit, myrrh and sandalwood, and very faint accords. As the fragrance transitions to its dry-down, the faint bergamot accord dissipates leaving a combination of mostly kumquat and ginger. The opening is soft, the dry-down is even softer, projection is at its lowest. Once Boss in Motion Black has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as an ultra-soft, very low projection, kumquat and ginger fragrance with very faint bergamot and sandalwood accords. The fragrance feels airy, delicate, faint, fresh, gentle, light, masculine but not for much, modern, sporty, weak, and mildly pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 WOW RATING: 3/10. A fresh, and mildly pleasant citrusy fragrance, but so weak and unimpressive. DISLIKE RATING: 0/10: The fragrance contains no offensive notes. UNIQUENESS: 8/10. Kumquat is a rare note. MASS APPEAL: 4/10. Kumquat is not a citrus note as vibrant and zesty as lemon, orange or mandarin. PROJECTION: 1/10. Low, about 1 foot around the wearer. SILLAGE: 1/10.

Great daytime smell for spring. Nice and subtle so someone needs to get close to smell it but very good smelling.

Man I don’t know why I hate it so much, smells like it had a hard time deciding what it wanted to be. It seems like it wants to be a soft pleasant frag, but the smell is anything but. I love the original in motion... this is awful. I’m glad I got a sample first... terrible. The dry down is tolerable, but other options are better.

Well, Hugo sure likes his oranges. Only this time he decided to throw one in Mount Doom, but then changed his mind. It's basically orange peel, ginger and cumin. To me it's rather foul and sticky sweet smelling (thanks to the myrrh?). Like I said, freshness thrown into a pile of dirt.

Found it in a closet, smells sour for some reason.
