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 :)

I insist that I'd much rather smell this scent in winter and fall than in any other season.. Warm, sweet but nor everpoweringly so, bright and a little spicy. Exactly the kind of fragrance I want to smell on my scarf on a cold winter morning.

Really love this! I found out that I enjoy fragrances with orange and vanilla notes and this is one of them. Very pretty scent, definitely makes an impression. A lot of people have asked me about the name of this fragrance.

Są bardzo słodkie i kojarzą mi się z latem. Świetnie pachną właśnie latem na rozgrzanej skórze. Jest to bardziej intymny zapach, będziesz go czuć przy skórze. Taki zapach na codzień :)

Got a sample and wow. I am hooked! Just in time for spring/summer too. Smells sweet, fruity, powdery. All around, it's just really nice. I must have it. Love Hugo boss scents!

It's a very energetic but still sweet and creamy scent. Fresh notes of apple and orange blossom are perfectly balanced by softer notes of vanilla and white flower. Love it!

This is my absolute favorite scent. I have stocked up as I fear it may have been discontinued:( It is very unique and alluring but also fresh and pleasant

Am I really the only one who actually smells orange in this? Anyway, it's a great perfume!

beautiful fresh fragrance with the signature boss dna. perfect for a hot summer day.

Gosh,that smells nice!it is delicate but strong enough to make me feel better.

Nothing more to say about this perfume but i LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

This scent is the non-verbal definition of the word 'cozy'.

Nice and fresh fragrance. Good for everyday use.

Hugo Boss orange edp was on my radar for a while because of it's creme Brulee note but my mom bought edt as a gift for me by mistake I love orange flower,vanilla and apple so no wonder I like it.as I spray it and I smell my skin deeply,I can detect a bitterish green/woody note which should be olive tree.this note is very out of place IMO and could ruin boss orange completely(as it ruins flowerbomb rose explusion)but thanks god here it fades very fast and I'm left with a delicious vanilla cream being more tasty with sweet fruit notes of apple and orange and white flowers.I know there's no orange among it's notes but orange flower adds a slight orangey vibe I find it really lovely and cute.it's simple,sweet,soft and very creamy.I wonder how does edp smells.it's notes seem to be sweeter,creamier and more delicious it can be more than love for me Hugo Boss orange edt while being sweet,manages to remain soft and kind of fresh,so it's wearable even in summer days Boss orange isn't something unique or outstanding but it doesn't make it less lovely to my nose.it can be a nice casual fragrance,good for work or college,good for friendly gatherings and even wearing around home.I love to wear it for bed it gives me sweetest dreams.it's smooth,youthful and innocent,bright and sweet and clean.longevity and sillage are both moderate at their best never mind because I like respraying this pretty perfume I like it's bottle.it's made of heavy glass and metal and looks modern and intresting P.s: vanilla in boss orange edt reminds me vanilla in Katy Perry meow(they don't smell similar in whole).creamy,soft and has a bright,fresh undertone ❤❤❤ Edit: I still think it smells very nice,I still like it but I don't reach for it as much as I expected.sometimes I really enjoy it's yummy creamy,powdery vanilla-floral goodness but other times it seems a little boring.

I literally just had a chance to try this perfume yesterday while browsing Douglas and saw that it was on sale. I’m in my mid 30’s and swear to god when I smelled this on my skin it reminded me of those fresh mornings in high school (you know, this light scent mixed with coffee) but apparently this perfume was not launched until 2009, so I guess some other perfumes of this kind of scent were popular among those teachers back in the days. The opening was “meh” to me though, but after 30 minutes it turned out so well, I couldn’t stop smelling the back of my hand where I tested on. The scent isn’t offensive but very sophisticated and sensual. I don’t explain well, but if this perfume was a person it would be someone who is bubbly, yet mysterious and super sexy as hell. It stays at least 6 hours on my skin, then it leaves on a warm sensual sandalwood and a hint of vanilla scent for the rest of the day. I would say this perfume is easily suitable for all genders.

The first time that I tried this, it was not a success. During a humid summer day it just became a bit cloying and "thick" smelling and I wanted something fresher and less sweet. Now, as we get to colder autumn days, it is very nice. I would describe it as a "warm" fruity floral. Nothing about this is tart, fresh, or juicy. It's all quite soft with some sweetness, some florals, and some warm, musky vanilla base. It has some faint resemblance to Chanel Chance, but without the patchouli and citrus it's only the warm floral muskiness without any sharpness or tanginess. It might be a little bit generic, but I cannot think of a perfume that smells like this because it is softer and warmer than most designer releases, and not as sweet or sharp. I will keep wearing this on casual and working days throughout the colder months. It's a happy, sunny scent.

I don't really get the apple note on my skin - strange, maybe I'm just being influenced by the name of the fume but I always felt it had more of a citrus vibe. I had this perfume 3 years ago and enjoyed it but didn't think it was anything earth-shattering. Just a floral, woodsy vanilla - nothing too original. That said, 3 years on and I'm finding I'm going back to a lot of old purchases that I've liked - but not loved - in the past. I'm just bored of a lot of fragrances on the market at the moment so it's quite nice to go back to one that I found pleasant. I wouldn't wear this if I was trying to pull out all the stops to impress someone, but for a cozy winter fragrance, this is perfectly nice. In summary, I could live without it - but I am looking forward to getting a bottle of this next week!

That's really nice , very youthful and simply chic , just like Sienna Miller 's style ..I am crazy for African Orange flower 's smell , which I smell in my country in the Spring and that perfume doesn't disappoint with it , but the opening is all apples . A powdery & airy scent which is just perfect for a Summer morning or Spring day , but not boring or aquatic or plain simple . I think it won't disappoint if you grab it for a Summer night out either .The vanilla is very mild here and just adds to its beauty . I am not a big fan of vanilla fragrances , but this is lovely.Some are comparing it to Felicity by Oriflame which I have bought for my sister last Summer , I don't think they have similarities at all..Felicity is much heavier , deeper with a cinnamon touch .

LOL, Unlike DeniseCris66, I stopped wearing this because it doesn't have enough orange!!! LOL! :) Seriously, I love the blossom at the opening and impulse bought this thinking it wold be my little work-appropriate energizer bunny yet casual smell. I get amped with the bright smell of citrus and orange blossom, especially when it has the smooth edges of a creamy vanilla middle and base. But this mellows out into a bland generic skin scent drydown, and all but disappearing by the end of the day. No orange flower to be found, no vanilla, nothing. :( Probably one of the least-lasting frags I own. Edit: The opening of this and Cartier L'Orange are nearly identical, but the similarities end after the first 15 minutes.

This was the first perfume I bought for myself as before I would get perfumes as Christmas or birthday presents. I think I bought it because it was pretty inoffensive and not too strong with top notes of vanilla and red apple you'd be hard-pressed to dislike this perfume. However, after a while I soon grew bored of the smell as it's quite a simple fragrance and very one-dimensional, it also wasn't very long-lasting considering the price. This scent was also not very strong and I could never smell it on my skin because it blended in with other smells. However, I do recommend this perfume to anyone who isn't a fan of strong perfumes with lots of depth. This fragrance is for someone who loves fresh clean smells.

I normally am not a fan of apple in fragrances, as it comes off as synthetic, harsh, or shampooey (think Salon Selectives circa 1992)...and I didn't have high hopes for this one based on the note matrix, but I purchased it on a whim and figured "What the heck!". This is a creamy apple scent...it's a florally apple opening that quickly softens into a lovely creamy vanilla/orange flower/sandalwood scent that is truly lovely. Sillage and projection are very close to the skin (3 spritzes) and it lasts about 3 hours or so with that. Not a heavy hitter, but still pretty and interesting. And it was inexpensive, so I can afford to respray. Not sharp or headache-inducing. Just an inoffensive lovely sweet floral.

This was my signature scent three summers ago. I loved it so much that I actually purchased two bottles, a rare thing these days with all the variety of perfumes on hand. I bought both at airport duty-free shops so can't complain about the price. It's sweet, vanilla-ish, with some fruity and powdery hints. WARM. Appropriate for wear all year long. Does not offend, I think it will be hard to really dislike it. It does not smell of oranges, as most reviewers have already said. So don't let that fool you. The bottle is very nice - orange glass with metal inserts on both sides with metallic cap. Beware that the large bottle - 75 ml - will be rather tall.

A dear friend surprised me with a bottle of Orange last week and I have to admit that although I hadn't tried it before, it only took me one spritz to love it!!! It's fresh- creamy- sweet (a bit too sweet for me but I don't mind) orange flower that turns slightly woody- musky at the dry down without loosing much of its character. It's late spring now and works fine: great longevity- around 10 hours with good silage and I get quite a few compliments; even from my husband, something that doesn't happen often enough... I think this could be a good choice for any season. So do try it; sometimes good scents come to us in unexpected ways!!!

Hugo Boss Orange can be described as a perfume with a great number of exciting and glamorous notes.The sweetness that comes out reminds me of a vintage summerous evening watching the sunshine and be surrounded by white flowers in a vanilla atmosphere.Seems outopic, but one day,as I was going to town, using the bus, there was a lady that asked mew what was the fragrance that I was wearing.She was like.''It's smells wonderful!''So,from that you can understand how Hugo Boss Orange is thought to be an extremely feminine perfume and can be adapted to every single personality which hides a scent of uniqueness and capacity.

This scent is delicious! It's just the right balance of creamy and fruity and floral. I'm surprised orange isn't in the notes, it definitely has a little bit of a creamcicle kind of flavor with the fruit and vanilla, that goes into light, sweet flowers, it's heavenly. Usually (on me) fragrances with vanilla turn syrupy and cloying, and orange blossoms tend to become an overpowering musky floral, but this did neither, I can't get enough of it! The sweetness is just right, makes me happy every time I smell it. A very pretty, warm and sunny kind of scent. It's very light, and doesn't change much, but I like it a lot.

Sweet apple, a hint of orange flower, a ton of vanilla, and that is pretty much it. It's pretty...but smells a lot like a VS body spray. I don't get any sandalwood or olive tree, and someone below said it smelled like animal-shaped vitamins for kids. They are not wrong--it does resemble the Flintstone chewables we all had when we were young. It's not unpleasant, but it's a bit on the boring side. I can find this one a home with someone who might appreciate it a lot more than I do. (I wrote a review several years ago, but honestly have not reached for it since then so I felt we needed an updated, honest review)

I sprayed it on paper and my skin to see how it performs. Somehow I can still smell it clearly on paper but there's nothing left of it on my wrist. Literally no trace of this fragrance. Performance is pretty terrible in my case. Good fragrance for people who appreciate elegant, fresh office perfumes. I could smell a hint of orange blossom on initial spray but it later disappears (doesn't make the scent worse by any means but don't expect it to be a proper gourmand fragrance). Good thing it's affordable and like it states in the PROS section "Doesn't turn syrupy or cloying" is very true in my experience.

What a pretty orange blossom ! This one isn't sharp, citrusy or synthetic like many bad orange blossom fragrances on the market. It's very floral, soft and comforting. Fresh and sunny, perfect for Summer and the office. The apple and vanilla notes are fresh and not sugary, and complete the scent. Unfortunately, the opening doesn't last and only a weak skin scent follows. The scent is lovely, but I won't buy considering its weak performance. A bit sad as this was the kind of orange blossom I was looking for.

I love the lightness and freshness of this scent - on my skin its not too citrus despite the name and not too synthetic as some others have mentioned. The silage however is horrible. I really don't know why but when I purchased it there was no eau de parfum available perhaps if there was this would have helped. As it stands I can spray this like a body spray before work(we're talking 10 squirts) and the scent will be completely lost by mid day. Not really too impressed given the price.

Boss Orange. So juicy! Wow I really feel at ease and relaxed in this scent. It doesnt try to drag me behind it. The orange flower is lush and fragrant. I think the apple and vanilla combine to lift the sweetness of the orange flower to make this scent a close to body fructose burst. But it doesnt overpower my nose, even with my nose pressed against my arm and inhaling as deep as I can. I would reapply this every 3-4hrs. Simple. Not ground breaking. But very nice.
