Boss The Scent Eau de Parfum Intense

I think the only Boss scents I like are Magnetic and Scent Elixir. This one falls in that ballpark. Resinous, nutty, sweet and effervescent. Reminds me of a rum cola first but with a thick smoky syrup touch? Not sure how to explain it. Like this lactonic feel sandalwood/musk can give. Then it transforms into spicy Werthers cream candies... Edit: Just checked and the perfumer also did Magnetic, so it makes a lot of sense. I don't fully remember how it smelled, but I'd say it's either a reformulation of that one, or, same idea, but more grown up or winter (less versatile). Edit 2: Magnetic is fresher, Elixir is darker/more alluring, this is more nutty/spicy. Intense should be called Magnetic Intense or Magnetic Night. If this had a decent atomizer, it would be a 10. Banger.

DFOTY Candidate. (Designer fragrance of the year). Fantastic addition to the 'Scent' lineup. I'm a fan of Boss stuff, so what can I say. I'm a bit biased. Even the ones no one likes, I like. Whatever. This stuff is great. Maninka combined with the light booze in the mid is so damn good. It comes off the skin initially bright, then slowly deepens up into a really enjoyable (and long lasting) ambery dry down. Unmistakably a Boss The Scent flanker. And very well done. My wife loved it immediately. That says it all, really. She did mention 'chocolate' but said it comes across mildly tropical to her. Either way, that's a win. She can be really picky...

Sort of sits in between Magnetic and the Elixir... I guess, which means I like it. But it doesn’t take The Scent in any bold nor interesting new directions. I prefer Magnetic’s maturity and the Elixir’s brighter and broader general appeal. EDIT: After several more wearings I’ve grown to like this more and more. Initially I rated this below Magnetic and Elixir but now I enjoy it just as much as the other two The Scents mentioned. The liquor and a very slight incense notes carry on for a surprising amount of time and give the “Intense” designation legitimacy.

Love this and worn it out few times since recently buying this and had loads compliments! Fragrantica is missing notes as usual it seems ! This has cardamom and leather ! Starts of almost fresh ginger and fruit then becomes thicker warmer from the amber cardamom leather in drydown nice stuff lasts quite good as well especially on clothes

Despite this line being rightly labelled as "tired", this is actually really nice. Sweet maninka, syrupy like something you'd put in a cocktail. Plenty of amber keeps it grounded, and citruses don't run away. Will be buying this soon - mass appealing and night out suitable.
