Boss Orange

I have a decant of this and have worn it twice now. It projects for approximately 3-4 hours with a reasonable sillage. By the 7 hour mark, I could still faintly smell it on my wrists but noticed when I subconsciously rubbed my neck, I would get a nice whiff of the fragrance. This fragrance is relatively cheap to purchase so doesn't matter if you have to touch it up a few hours later. Boss Orange is a creamy orange scent. The vanilla in this gives it a sweet ice cream-like scent which makes it almost lean into gourmand territory. It reminds me of the type of ice-cream you buy on a stick which is coated with a frozen mango (or other fruit) shell on the outside. I believe Boss Orange contains bergamot as a top note, and along with the African Orange Flower, gives it a really nice, ripe juicy orange scent. The vanilla definitely sweetens it but it is so wearable in any weather as it never gets cloying. I wore it yesterday on a mild winter's day in New Zealand and it was fabulous! It would definitely be a mood booster during dreary, cold weather and an all around "feel good" fragrance in any weather. This would make you feel comforted in winter while you snuggle up with a blanky on the couch, chilling out and watching movies, or getting your goove on at a Tiki Bar on a tropical island somewhere. And let's face it, who cares where! As long as there is a decent band playing, the cocktails are flowing and the soft, powdery sand is flicking up from under everyone's feet as they dance the night away, then just like Lionel Richie sang, the revelling could last 🎵All Night Long🎵

As I did as a child, every new toy, lunchbox, pair of knee socks, etc stood the test by coming to bed with me. Now many many years later, I wear a new fragrance to bed. If it is unobstrusive or even better, lulls me to sleep, I know it's a winner. Yesterday, I received a bottle of Hugo Boss Orange in the mail. Another one of my knee jerk, blind buys off of eBay. I probably shouldn't say "blind" buy, as I ALWAYS read up on the scent here on Fragrantica before purchasing. Nine times out of ten these "blind buys" are winners. By saying this I must say, "Yes, success!" on this purchase. What I was seeking was an apple scent with more longevity than the DKNYs that are lovely, but have no staying power. HBo is not huge in the apple, but wonderful in the Orange Blossom and vanilla. It is a very comforting scent...very feminine (though the bottle being rather masculine). It is definitely a day time or an evening getting cozy on the couch with your lover, wearing to bed fragrance. Last night I was lulled to sleep after spraying myself and my pillowcase. This is huge praise as I have terrible insomnia. I highly recommend this fragrance. Longevity is very good (still had whiffs this morning)...silliage? (my son asked me what the wonderful scent was from down the hallway). Price tag is extremely reasonable.

I am really surprised this perfume seems unpopular with a lot of people, I find it lovely and I can't imagine anyone finding it offensive but perhaps there are notes that smell very different depending on your scent receptor genetics! I absolutely love it, it's soft and yet fresh, ever so creamy and smooth. The dry down is beautiful and creamy soft. Sweet, vanilla, orange blossom and lightly floral. Reasonably priced, ok longevity but projection is low. I got this when it first released in 2009 as I was about 17/18 and it was my signature scent for a few years, so I find it very nostalgic to that time in my life when I was young and carefree, and quite naive! It suits that image in my mind well. It suited that time well to wear at school and then at university during seminars and lectures when I wanted to smell clean, feminine and fresh but not overpower those in close proximity to me! I've been wearing it again recently and I had forgotten how much I love it, it's such a lovely spring fragrance. I love wearing it with my spring wardrobe, filling me with hope for the warmer weather and approaching summer.

In New Zealand this fragrance is very expensive $80-$180, depending on where you get it from, as are all decent fragrances over here! Making this a "use carefully" fragrance, so I don't run out. It is a lovely creamy, orange and vanilla creation that just makes you happy. It reminds me of a "Fanta Spider" (Fizzy Orange Soda with Vanilla Ice Cream) mmm🥰Yummy, but not over sweet with the base notes grounding it. My only annoyance with this gorgeous fragrance is how many sprays I need, I need to use. 5-6 sprays and then layer it again with 5-6 more sprays to get the full aroma, and make it last. So due to this issue, and the price in NZ, I just can't wear it that often. But when I do I really enjoy the playful notes, with that hint of sophistication and depth. It has deep, spicy undertone notes that I love, with the frothy yummy creamy orange scent that remains even after the dry down. Definitely one of my faves 😍

Ever since its release I have always had this fragrance! I was a 16 year old girl back then and I had my whole youth in front of me.. I would spend my summers in southern France and this fragrance was a synonym for endless blue skies, salty air and warm sunshine of the Azure coast.. To this day I can still close my eyes and picture everything! However times change.. I grew up, my summers in France expired and what was once a signature scent that made everyone recognise me by is now a fragrance on my shelf that I rarely use, but somehow can't let go. I am very nostalgic about the way this fragrance made me feel. I would wear it even afterwards, when life got more serious, thinking it would do the trick.. But when I smell this now, all I can picture is a bubbly, young girl that was having the time of her life and was excitingly anticipating what the future holds for her..

This was a blind purchase through eBay. I'm so glad I bought it as it's the one fragrance that I don't have to think about when deciding what to wear - it goes with everything, it's light and bright, warm and reassuring, feminine without being pretentious, in short, it's incredibly easy to wear. It doesn't last overly long on my skin so I spritz my clothes and I can still smell it hours later. There are days I can't wear perfumes because of headaches/nausea relating to an illness but it appears this perfume is completely exempt from that, it's completely inoffensive. If I had to describe this perfume as a friend, she would be dependable, easy-going, honest, reassuring, unassuming and a breath of fresh air when your day is less than happy. It's almost like an uplifting, happy, light Summery version of Cristobal.

the creamy dry down is really sensual.. i just receive my bottle today, and i imagine that certain someone will snuggle my neck when i'm wearing it ;) btw, are there a car/room freshener that smell like this perfume? Last week within 5 days I 'encountered' this scent (or something that have similar scent with this) twice, once in a taxi and once in an airport. Dunno about the airport - perhaps it's just another person wearing Boss Orange too - but I doubt if the male taxi driver wearing this perfume also. (I wore other perfume at that time) Now I'm cautious whenever I'm wearing this. I don't want to be known as 'the girl who wears a car freshener' :s

Ok , oh WOW I have more than 300 fragrance bottle and this is different than any of them .. good difference !!! it has something unique .. elegant .. cozy .. it makes me feel like ( home ) I dunnu if this is even right sentence but it makes me feel conferrable .. happy , safe ,like being in my home after long journey , of course it is not THE BEST OF THE BEST fragrance in the world , but it is differently the best of being cozy and elegant . I wish it could be longer lasting and got better silage . it would be heaven on earth . I can give it easy 7.5/10 just because it's lack of longevity . If you dun care about lasting . it's easyy 9/10 for u

This is a perfume I can wear whatever my mood and the only one I can wear if I don't feel well. It's an easy one to love and very versatile. If you like mixing your perfumes, I tried it with a single spritz of Lady Million (as LM is so strong) and it worked well. I also spray this on my clothing because it lasts longer that way. I don't know what it is about Boss Orange but it has a very calming effect on me and it makes me feel good. Everyone should have a perfume that gives them such nice feelings! I will always have a bottle of this close by.

Soft floral blend of orange blossom and faint apple, with a breathy note of olive oil too. Not sure how well this one keeps. Some of the testers had gone off, and when it goes bad, it really goes really, really bad. Instant scrubber. However, tried this one a few times now and got better results. In cooler weather, it's rather plain and gentle. But on an unusually hot summers day, say 26 degrees C, this exploded into an orangey delight, fizzy and fun. Will wait for the summer again to try. Love the bottle.

this was my first eau de toilette ever, i used it when i was a teenager it's simple ,chic and everyday smell appropriate it's feminine ,elegant and decent thanks to its inoffensive orange blossom and red apple notes a noticible vanilla hint is present when it settels down a bit since i generally prefer the eau de parfum style for its longevity in all my perfume wardrobe , for this fragrance i'm now using a master copy that is as effective as the original and i'm saving money as well

I love this scent... Fell in love with it from the first wif! Beautiful!!! It's very sweet, with the apple and orangeblossom who really pop out. After a couple of hours the warm smell of sandelwood and vanilla is makes you feel happy and wonderfull. It's a strong smell who last a really long time, when I spray it on my clothes, it sticks for a couple of days! And on my skin I smell it from morning till night... Beautiful en cheerful, definitly a stayer..

dontno alot of the Boss range (please do message me with recomendations if you are) The only perfume by boss i have and know well is Boss Ma vie which i really love tho sadly doesnt last long on me. But i just tried this one today and so delicious i love it. Was a random buy and im super glad to have now in my collection. Doesnt smell totally orange btw so i do think a rename would have been cool. Love the bottle tho. very styleey haha

This reminds me more of the smell of sweet orange essential oil at the beginning, more than orange flower. It does settle into a fruity floral with a hint of vanilla and white floral. This is almost edible, the smell is so good! If you really like orange/orange essential oil smells, this is a great one. It also reminds me of orange and almond cake! Yummy!

Subtle, sweet but not candy-like, cheerful, and quite warm. I agree with opinions that it is better for autumn or spring than for summer. Update: I bought it. After few weeks of using, I have discovered that I like it the most of all my fragrances, standing one by one on my bathroom shelf. How strange that love to perfume can grow in time...

I see that a lot of people have labeled it a "fresh" spring or summer smell, but I just don't get that. I think it smells like a baked apple and it's my signature Christmas scent. I only wear it around the holidays, and I have to reapply it very often because it doesn't last long, but I always come back to it.

On my skin, BO is a very creamy vanilla fragrance, not really special or remarkable but pretty likeable. It smells like many other vanilla perfumes but has a rather good quality and gives me a very cosy and warm feeling. I don't see myself buying a full bottle but a 50ml would be good enough to use next Xmas.

I totally LOVE this one! my all time favorite. soft, tolerable, fresh, enjoyable... if I want to describe this perfume with only one word I would say: HAPPY if youre looking for a day time fragrance that doesn't disturb anyone and yet it's enjoyable and pretty, I highly recommend you this one.

This beauty has been my signature since its release! I can't ever be without it. 💗 Love, love, love and nothing but love for this one. I am trembling that they don't discontinue it.. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my country. Better stock up!

Sweet, warm and cuddly :) I had this in my collection for many years and will always be one of my favorites. This is on my skin mostly a orange/vanillacream with woodsy undertones. Really nice everyday and any season scent for a good price :)
