Boss Orange Sunset

Ordered this as a blind buy, it sounded like it would be yummy either way, and surely it is! This is slightly different but better than I expected. This could be a great summer go-to. Totally worth a blind buy if you wanna smell like a slightly more grown up creamsicle. A little more relaxed, less ice cream melting in the heat. I mostly smell the orange (calm yummy orange, nothing too sharp or painfully citric happening here), the vanilla blends really nicely. I smell a shy coconut note (or want to? it might as well be there? she couldn't make it to the party but drove by?), a dash of bergamot (like the citrus, nothing mind-blowing here), maybe just the shadow of a rose. But that's it. Longevity is...maybe not that long but it's worth the respray. I do kinda feel like I wore a sunset all day. Even the review is relaxing, as it is simply not a complicated scent that requires any toiling over fancy notes and picking apart nuances hehe. :)

Sweet and delicious! I must admit I really love this one! Even more than the EDP and EDT versions of Boss Orange. Quite fine sweetness bomb. It makes my head spin and if someone was wearing it, I would probably be thinking, that something smells so good and lovely. I see that it's advertised as summer scent, but I think it would be great for winter too. It's the best of Hugo Boss for me! From now on, it's on my want list.

It is very nice. Yes, it smells exactly the same all the way from top to base, very orange and sunny... but I like that! It's a pretty fragrance for summer and the coming indian summer, called "old-lady-summer" in Austria ;-) Happy to have it in my collection - by the way, I added FIVE new perfumes today... I should not come across a perfumery again or this month I won't eat, haha!

I am longing for summer and have been sampling my summer citrus scents today. This reminds me of a juicy sun ripened orange still on the tree, laden with fragrant blossoms. This is lazy, hot and sunny afternoons for me. What a gorgeous scent. Summer In a bottle. Think I'll wear this now since it smells great in cooler temps too. Sillage and longevity are moderate on me.

I love this! Lovely orange and soft spices. Herbs. Feeling calm and relaxed. The one thing i need is a rum cola, sitting under the parasol and my shades on. I recommend. Ps. OMG! It gets even better as it is on you. I'm speechless. Lasts 6-7 hours on me. Very good!

Yummy sweet delight, all the way from the base to the top. Classy and unique in its own, non disturbing way. Just perfect for summer nights, but I love it in spring and fall too, it's so cheerful and optimistic. I highly recommend it.

Fruity,floral fresh scent,dominant notes of mandarine orange and vanille.

I prefer boss orange sunset than the original. I LOVE IT!

great perfume .. I love to wear this for work

Orange Sunset opens with juicy mandarins and fresh bergamot. The heart notes are a blend of white flowers and rose. Creamy sandalwood and gourmandy-sweet vanilla form the scent's base. On initial spray I get a blast of sunny mandarins, sweet vanilla and creamy sandalwood. It takes about a minute or two for the bergamot's freshness to kick in and for Orange Sunset to give a sunny, sweet, yet zesty, scent impression. The rose is very faint but this is perfect as the gorgeous white flower accords become more and more intense. They mingle wonderfully with the creamy, almost milky sandalwood - all on a fragrant sunbed of prominent mandarins and vanilla. The drydown is mainly about sandalwood and occasional whiffs of vanilla and white flower aromas. At this stage the orange notes and the vanilla sweetness are completely gone. I would have preferred a longer lasting formulation with at least medium sillage but Orange Sunset lasts around 4 hours on me only while it stays close to my skin. I do like the scent as it is really nice, pleasant, warm, sunny and cuddly but I will not repurchase Orange Sunset.

I smelled this in a harpers bazaar magazine sample about 8 years ago and thought it was lovely then went to buy it and didnt like it enough for the price. But i recently purchased a bottle online and am waiting for it to arrive. Its a burst of citrus sunshineon a deserted beach at dusk..mmmmm yum. Ok to add to this reveiw. My bottle came in the mail today and i am still in love lol. Citrusy, vanillery, musky..gorgeous. with pretty good staying power too. Still takes ne to an abandoned coastline as the sun hoes down on a hot day Update: I get a strong clove/ anise liquorice note when its cold, and i learned recently thats its actuslly better in cool weather, i wore it in the heat last week and it was actually bordering on nauseating. This is reminiscent of summer but somehow blooms in winter

This has been a favourite fragrance of mine for years. It's a beautifully warm, citrus fragrance that I enjoy wearing all year round. The orange is strong to begin with, but settles down within a few minutes. It's a soft orange smell, not sickly sweet, but not sharp and sneeze inducing like it sometimes can be! I love the vanilla in this, combined with the sandalwood it just smells so creamy and warm. On me, I don't get any rose, but the white floral notes are there in the background, not really taking anything away from the citrus or vanilla, just giving the fragrance more depth. This performs really well on me, it lasts a good 6 or 7 hours, projects well for around 4. I do usually top up with a couple of sprays every few hours. It's one of my most complimented fragrances, I love it.

(I bought a tester that was on sale, and since it has been discontinued my bottle may not be fresh) The major note is vanilla, with floral and sandalwood as minor notes. Based on the description I was hoping for more noticeable citrus notes from the orange and bergamot. Overall it has a smooth, powdery sweet smell to it. The bottle design is quite unique and pretty, I really like the gradient color and the rippling effect. -Coincidentally the size/length/girth of the bottle reminds me of my ex boyfriend, if you know what I mean-

I'm still testing it but i think i like it. it's kind a strange smell to me, not summery or fruity at all i think that i would wear this in autumn as already have a bottle, witch design i like more than perfume. but what i hate about it and about almost all hugo boss perfumes - the staying power is so weak, they last so short that you have to spray 1/3 bottle to be wearing a perfume. i think its a shame because some cheap perfumes have much more better staying power than BOSS

Gorgeous fresh orange, a rich wood and vanilla base and a bit of floral in the background. I absolutely love it ... and then it's gone in an hour. This would easily be a summer staple but I'd have to keep the bottle with me to reapply several times a day. "Ain't nobody got time for that." I'll enjoy it while I have it but because of performance, and *only* because of performance, I wouldn't re-buy. Otherwise, it's stunning. Nice bottle as well.

One of the most tasteful and like-able daytime yummy perfumes! This one is such a CHAMELEON perfume that it could work for every occasion - work, school, lunch with the girls, meeting the parents, going on a holiday... you name it. Also, this perfume doesn't set any age limits, so it would be a perfect gift for a girl 18-48 that is very upbeat and loves oranges :) A very happy, bright perfume that always puts me in a good mood!

I was expecting another heavy citrus-dominated summer scent... but I find this is quite light and refreshing. The citrus isn't overpowering at all, the main notes lingering on my skin are actually the white flowers, vanilla and sandal. I would say this could be worn from spring to autumn/fall, the floral and fruity notes make it great for warm months, but there's a warmth to it that could take you into cooler weather also.

Lovely scent but so fleeting, my skin just eats it up, but even on clothes it's really weak. Starts out with a mix juicy orange and bergamot, then it settles into a floral orange, so the whole combination ends up being kinda like orange blossom, just a bit synthetic. This is very true to the notes, so a safe blind buy if you're into this type of scent, hope this lasts longer on you.

I have received so many compliments when I wear this cant even keep count anymore. the bottle , name and contents fits each other perfectly. addictive!! yummy !! just gorgeous. a bit too expensive for everyday use though... wich is sadddd.

creamier, warmer, deeper, woodier and intenser for the sillage than the original Boss Orange but staying power rather poor unfortunately. :/ anyway i love both very mutch and they mix very well together for layering.

I was so looking forward to trying this, as I do love the original Boss Orange. Sunset smells absolutely gorgeous!!!!......but it is gone so soon. After less than 2 hours its completely gone on my skin. Such a pity.

'Sunset' is an apt descriptor of this warm, pleasing fragrance. The notes are well blended, in sync, and consistent throughout--no real top or bottom notes standing out. The experience lasted four hours on my skin.

This was a gift from my father. For me this is not a tipically summer scent. The orange and warm spices reminds me of Christmas somehow. Love this.

To me this smells really spicy. I don't think its your typical citrus scent. It smells like perfume not oranges being peeled. I kind of want oranges being peeled

I have a tester of Boss Orange Sunset to one side of me, and a glass of tropical fruit juice on the other. The similarities are pretty surprising. Boss Orange Sunset is one of those typical fruity scents that attempt to emulate the scent of shampoo and sugary fruit juice. I didn't mind the original Boss Orange, which despite its sweetened and synthetic orange note, had a delightful creaminess. This Boss Orange Sunset however is too strong and juicy for my liking. The lasting power and sillage are pretty amazing. For those that adore the smell of this, the quality is a plus, however for those like me that find this fragrance a bit of a headache-inducer, it can definitely get on your nerves. Like I mentioned before, the orange is pretty dominant in this fragrance, so is the sugary note. There are some subtle floral accords, however they don't seem to be present until the drydown. I'm a little underwhelmed by this fragrance, not that Hugo Boss is known for making anything outstanding but I like most of them. I will be interested to see how well this sells this Summer.

This is not your typical citrus. It’s very warm and balmy. The orange is warm (almost overripe) and the bergamot has a spicy quality to it, although I suspect there are actual spice notes unlisted (cinnamon or clove?) I get the rose, and I think the “white floral” that is coming through the strongest is gardenia. The vanilla is a bit flat and sweet, like melted Breyer’s ice cream. Sandalwood dry down comes quickly, within an hour, and has a pencil shavings quality. Nice scent, I’d say fruity/floral unisex leaning feminine. It’s a “fizzy” experience. Orange soda that has been left out in the sun? Summer evening scent, or autumn daytime scent. It performs really well in the cooler temps, actually. I think the high heat of a summer day would make it headache inducing. Not really my thing, but pretty darn good for the cost. Longevity C+ (4-5hrs) Projection B+ (4-6ft) Scent DNA C-

Got this as a gift from my aunt. The opening smelt fine. The orange was hard to detect amid the strong sandalwood. There was a hint of citrusy freshness present, but not enough to mask the artificial-smelling sandalwood. The heart of the fragrance is a headache-inducing combination of synthetic sandalwood and cloying white florals. The drydown smelt fine, but the nauseous heart lasted for six/seven hours, I wanted to take my shirt off and wear a new one to remove the stench. This is not a floral fruity fragrance, nor is it a clean citrusy one. To be fair, I wore Orange Sunset three times, on three different weather conditions, but it didn't work with my body chemistry. The ombré flacon looks exquisite though.

I can't believe my eyes when I see the description, quote 'Improved version of Hugo Boss Orange'. Firstly, this scent is totally different from Boss Orange. Secondly, it is mostly sharp & bitter bergamot, which I definitely don't like. Very tiring fragrance, I almost could not endure it after 3 hours. I love Boss Orange, but I can't stand Boss Orange Sunset. Why do they have similar names? No idea.

I find this a bit stronger than the original "Orange". But anyway it's still weak and hardly discernible too. Finally there are oranges in this one :) But it's not like they come out big, I think. Too unspectacular for buying. PS: Since I received a sample, I re-tested it again. Still it doesn't last long and reminds me of a laundry conditioner.

sorry to say hugo boss orange sunset,its smell terrible! i hate it! first sniff it smell very citrus,oranges! then i dont like musky smell! too strong for me.i thought it will be fresh,light and sweet but its smell terrible..dont buy this if you like sweet perfume.this perfume very musky..

It`s somewhat similar in nature to Avon True glow (which I love) and Oriflame Felicity (which is too bitter for me). Unfortunately I find it too bitter and unbalanced for me too. I feel a lot of mandarins with bitter bergamot. I don`t like it on me at all.

This is ok for a pretty spicy powdery vanilla orange scent. did not have great longevity on me. 2 hours. just as well as it did remind me of sweeties or vanilla tango. wear it occasionally for a change

Sunset is getting nicer and nicer as time goes by. The start is quite a typical floral fruity perfume you can smell these days, but the sparkling cirtrusy zest is just nice and refreshing in a summer sorbet way. Somehow it has a Britney + Escada vibe in it which I don’t really care much about, but can still wear as a gap-filler. However, it gets bland and quite warm in a dirty headache-inducing, and nostril-blocking 40-degrees- summer-afternoon way. Personally I’m not a fan of white flowers, and what I can smell here is Thierry Mugler Alien type of white flowers mingled with something creamier. It somehow smells sharper with the warm bits, and it felt as if my nose is bombarded with the scent in a physically slightly painful and explosive way. However, the dry down is to die for, it has the clean inky slightly creamy ink-y ‘musk’ smell you can smell form some high-ends perfumes, and it’s quite similar to Lavin’s Jeanne Lavin dry down. Sunset has amazing staying power on me, it lasts more than 10 hours. :)Could be a nice summer scent when you know you might sweat a bit and afraid your perfume might be long gone before the sunset. ---- After persistently trying Sunset for a consecutive two days, it actually starts grow on me, when my nose is more immune to the sweet white flowers, somehow I find Sunset is actually not bad at all, I agree with some reviewers here mentioned that Sunset smells like fruit tea, it does, just more potent than the typical fruit tea I’m used to. If you wanted to love Alien but cannot, and sweet white flowers give you a headache, maybe Sunset can be a perfume that can gradually change your no-white-flower policy.

In the words of my 100 year old grandma: "You smell like a warm satsuma." She of the Jicky & Samsara nodded approval at Sensuous Noir but could not understand why someone would want to smell purely & simply of a warmed citrus fruit..."hug a tangerine, my dear". ...& that's it - it is so simple. No complexity here, just pleasant, light, slightly sour yet sweet fruitiness on a warm vanilla base. It is both cosy & fresh & very pleasant. Hardly distinctive, remaining close to the body & lasting an average length of time - but totally inoffensive & wearable none-the-less. Not my cup of tea, but I see sweet young-at-heart blondes who want a soft & pretty secret-scent enjoying this one.

I bought this and have no idea where it's gone, which shows how much I cared for it.. Initially, I wanted an orange creamsicle type of fragrance for summer and someone said this reminded them of that so I purchased online. I got alot of vanilla and orange which went straight to the sandalwood dry down. Not really a fresh creamsicle scent, but just a flat vanilla with an orange in the back. The longevity was poor, disappeared within 30 min, felt like I was using a body mist rather than a perfume.

Gives you exactly what it promises: a vanillary, sweet citrus with a sprinkle of spiciness. Like those yummy creams they put in orange cakes. Not the cheap kind that you buy in the convenience store, but the interesting bake shop kind of delight. Not too outstanding, but it's a cheerful scent and wearing it makes me feel cheerful myself. It's moderately sweet, probably better to be worn in the autumn though or on cooler summer days.

I just tried this on today, from the bottle it reminded me of an orange tea! I tried it on my skin, and it's very sweet and light, I can hardly smell it on myself. It's too bad summer has passed here in Canada, and this scent is a abit too light for our cold weather. I'll have to see how long it lasts on my skin... but I love it!

i bought this fragrance as a giftset for £22 in the perfume shop by accident i thought i was getting the hugo boss orange one. but surprise surprise, i like this scent too but i still prefer the original :D. so i will use it up and probably wont get it again. a creamier version of the original but i find it weaker on my skin.

This was first perfume I bought. I rarely ever wear it nowadays, it's just too connected to my teenage years. It's very comforting and happy at the same time. Bright mandarin orange and warm vanilla. Now, I find it too garish and too sweet but this is what you love as a teenager, isn't it?

It’s everything everyone has said on here and more the dry down is incredibly beautiful and creamy , like seriously gorgeous and this perfume is very underrated , there are notes not listed , this is way way more complex than what fragrantica states 100%

Es un perfume de carácter alegre, luminoso y femenino. Pero sigo prefiriendo al original, el cual adoro. It is a perfume of cheerful, bright and feminine. But I still prefer the original, which I adore.

This is a lot lighter and more citrusy compared to the original Boss Orange. It's very soft and would be perfect for day-time wear in summer.

This one is just beautiful. It smells fresh, clean, summery and fruity. Definitely one that I am going to purchase!

this stuff bring me back to 2years ago.. so nostalgic! btw, this is the frst perfume I owned back then..

It has a milky orange scent like "orange julep".
