Boss Orange Celebration of Happiness

God dammit the uneducated staff... ...I asked in a duty free shop if this is the exactly same fragrance as the Orange regular - they did not have the smaller bottles of it. Of course it was not. Definitely more floral/fruity than Orange - and that does not necessarily suit me. On the other hand this is simmering with more complexity - but actually I was after that warm glowy and pretty straightforward wood / vanilla chord refreshed with apple (and perhaps backed up with amber although it is not mentioned in Fragrantica notes) of the original. The cinnamon note is very nice addition, though - gives the scent more that zest you could expect from the name given. There is another very popular fragrance I know (being Dolce & Cabbana Light Blue) with this specific phenomena: many people are complaining that it doesn't last - when I personally find it extremely lasting - the same applies with this and original Orange. I don't know if it is about differences in skin chemistry... ...or could it even be differences in sense of smell in such a way that some people tend to stop sensing these after wearing them a while? Once in a while I spot a person wearing these fragrances used so heavily that I just wonder if it is an attempt to compensate their "vanishing" nature. On my skin I definitely find the scent even 24 hrs after applying - sometimes even with detectable sillage from a distance.

Overall Celebration of Happiness is a sweet fruity perfume. I've had it for a while now, and finally decided to use it up. When sprayed at first, I couldn't really figure out what the notes were, it was slightly alcoholic and generic. Then comes the sweet Cinnamon and tangy Orange flower. Towards the dry down I can detect plums in the background, blended with Vanilla and sandalwood. This is where I started to like the perfume, it becomes a skin scent but a pretty one. The longevity on my skin is up 4 hours so needs to re-apply every so often. It can be suitable for daytime spring-summer wear.

I had it about year and a half ago. It was may when I bought it, and this perfume smelled extremely cool! But when the fall came I started realising that if smells like some sour fruits and cheep sigarettes on me.. Some of my friends said they could wear it thoughout all the winter, but I couldn't. Moreover, it seems to have gone off too quickly.. Now it just feels like some simple cheep " fruity sweet" water for 5 dollars a bottle =//

I tested it today. It is very similar to the original Boss Orange, but a little bit more fruity and less vanile. In the original version it is too much vanile at the base notes. This version is more for spring, summer time. I like the perfume, it let feel me a woman.

Gostosinho ... It's nice and cozy, but it's not a perfume to impress. Recommended for the day, season spring / summer ... Gostosinho... É agradável e aconchegante, mas não é um perfume para impressionar. Recomendado para o dia, estação primavera/verão...

Wasn't too impressed with it's lasting power. The smell was nice, but nothing to fall for. Just regularly nice smelling. Would not turn any heads. It's more of a "you smell nice, good for you" type of perfume.. It's not bad, it's just MEH..

I tried this at a store today and thought it smelled very similar to my Ange ou Demon something something Poesie d'Hiver flanker minus the tea note. I prefer my AD a tad bit more.

On my skin it disappears with a second. Like water. Scent is too obvious, nothing special.

Boss Orange?!which orange?it doesn't have any dominant orange note.I know so many better orange perfumes which are more refreshing and less boring. well,lovely bottle,but I'm not very optimistic about the scent.according to the notes I should love it,but it smells just boring. this perfume on my skin is very mild and the long lasting power isn't that good neither.definitely Hugo Boss has better perfumes to offer.

it ́s such a strange frag. i don ́t know, maybe it ́s my skin, but it lasts and lasts all day long and it always gives something else. at the beginning bitter orange, than peachy flowers and the top of the tops aromatic woods with vanilla gently settles down. it ́s the point i like the most and why i think that this frag is absolutely divine for lazy winter evenings by the fire-place. miaow
