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 !!

In my opinion the original Boss in Motion is one of the best fragrances to come from the Boss line. It opens with a sort of candy orange note which throughout the life of the fragrance never really disappears. I find the dry down to be very creamy. I don’t detect too much spice. Yes it is synthetic, but still very smooth and invigorating. Longevity and projection are both solid (longevity is eight hours plus on my skin). I agree with others this could be a unisex scent. On a confident dude it smells devilishly masculine and on the right lady it can smell edgy feminine. It’s all about persona.

I only know this scent on male skin in its deodorant concentration, but it's the best Boss male scent ever created. I enjoyed its refreshing complexity with a hint of orange and masculine, clean, sporty edge. The brand was the favourite of the male I spend time with and this was my pick based on the tester of the eau de toilette or eau de parfum concentration. With this scent gone from the shops in its deodorant form, the male switched to different scents, mainly because I was unimpressed with impact and longevity of the classic Hugo - his then favourite and had better ideas to scent him :)

I am writing this review to share my memories this lovely metallic ball design bottle gave me. This was the first designer fragrance i used, This perfume brought me to this website and also made be venture into the designer world of fragrance. I will always remember this awesome fragrance, in fact this was my signature fragrance for 3 years. I wore it to work, got plenty of compliments , wore it for casual meets, evening parties ,wherever I could as it is so pleasing. It lasts long and projects a bit. An elegant and all season fragrance for men.

As soon as you spray it on your skin you feel a citrusy, yet sweet orange smell. The original ball bottle isn't produced anymore, it comes in a generic squared bottle. It is definitely a scent to wear it on a hot summer day, but I could see me wearing this in early fall/late spring with no problem. It stayed on my skin for about 6-8 hours which is great for a not so expensive perfume. I recommend it for summer and you should definitely buy it, it is a must have in your collection. I liked the sphere bottle more, I don't know why they changed it.

Once again this is a scent I got off someone wearing it. I had to know what it was and bought it. I love the orange incence dry down. My bottle is the very old silver ball with orange equator from early 2000's It's definitely it's own scent. It's a thicker type of scent. Definitely not a freshy but still retains a sweet citrus . Woody sandalwood undertones could be some sweet vetyver . Im not expert but I do like this one alot. Orange incense is what comes to mind as a description.

Boss in Motion is the ultimate early 2000s nostalgia in a silver ball. It’s basically a spicy orange-creamsicle—creamy, citrusy, and highly energetic. The blend of bright orange and a smooth woody base makes it incredibly easy to wear for any casual day. It’s pleasant, inoffensive, and surprisingly versatile for warm weather. With decent projection and that upbeat vibe, it’s a total classic that still feels fresh. Perfect for when you want an effortless, high-energy signature.

I really dislike most of male perfumes I come across, but this one is really an exception. I think it's very different from the usual male fragrances, almost unisex and very, very sexy. The smell is sweet, youthful and very warm. It can last for quite a long time and, in my opinion, would fit any occasion. The orange is the most evident note even after the drydown, but the spices are also quite noticeable. It is, however, an obviously synthetic smell, but awsome anyway.

Nice frag from Hugo Boss. I like it so much . It is a little feminine but still good. longevity on me is surprising more than 6 hours .. but sillage is not that good 2 hours max around the body after that it becomes close to the skin ,,, for an EDT it is enough.. the scent is relaxing and alluring .. Although i recommend it but plzzz Test it before buying I will give it : Scent : 8/10 Longevity : 9/10 Sillage : 7/10 Overall : 8.5/10 ( Very Good )

One of my first fragrances. And I still love the smell. Sentimental value for me as it brings back memories of my teenage years. I'd still use it now as maybe an after shower fragrance. Sitting around the house on a sunny day, I'd reach for this. Doesn't seem to last too long. Such a shame. I'd be willing to upgrade its use if it was a stronger and a longer lasting fragrance as I absolutely love the smell.

I agree with the comment below. This fragrance is very special, the orange smell is creamy,fresh, crispy yet spicy and woody. I love this fragrance..... I just purchased it yesterday, to be honest i never purchased this one since it came out in 2002, i dont know why, i loved it since i smelled it for the first time and after 12 years i got it :)....... i give this one 10 out of 10.......

Definetly one of my favorite fragrances,so many great memories with this one. It smells great,fresh,citrusy and quite unique i would say. It's a casual/sporty type of frag,suited for daily use by young,active ppl who are always on...motion. Longevity and projection are good/moderate,around 4-5 hours or so and i always spray it on my clothes too,it does lasts for days on clothes!

This is a great scent. I first got familiar with it when I went off to college and a friend of mine was on the school's tennis team from France. This was 2003, I have not put my nose on this since then--but as we all know a distinct scent has the power of impression. This one here is a great scent that I might have to search to add it to my collection. ~ mAKES Too mUch $cents ~

This is actually a sleeper fragrance. Hard to find yes but wow the dry down is actually very nice and has this warm yet bursting fresh feeling to it. The orange does smell quite warm and creamy and the woodiness with that musk is such a nice accompaniment to the star of the show which is that orange. Dumb reach for me and last a good amount with good projection

this can easily become one of my favorites, very very pleasant smell, fresh and sexy and what to say about longevity, i only sprayed it 4 times in the morning before going to school (about 6 am) and it's 10 pm and i still get some of the smell, not so strong now but i get well projection at least for 12 hours, so i'm not dissapointed at all.

Long story short-this is a twin brother of Hugo Boss Deep Red for her. I love both of them. Male version is more citrusy, fresh and masculine when female version have some creamy vanilla in it. I think it's a safe blind buy if you like fresh orange scent. Ideal for spring and summer. And if you ask me-it's timeless. 10/10
