Boss The Scent For Her Absolute

Although I love the scent private accord, I wish I would have known this gem existed. I expected the private accord to smell more similar to this but instead it's a light and cheerful chocolate mandarine, yet warm which feels more appropriate for cooler weather. To my nose this perfume starts off smoky and earthy almost like tobacco (which surprised me but I love). Then as it settles it starts to smell like coffee and some vanilla with light dried fruit. This is a different and darker version to the private accord. Honestly this is such a beautiful scent that I don't think I'll ever stop wearing this. The scent absolute is gorgeous, a masterpiece in my humble opinion, I just wish it had stronger projection. This perfume lasts long on the skin, I would say at least 4 hours but as I mentioned, it's a more intimate scent. I recommend spraying on the clothes and maybe doing a second spritz later. I still think this perfume is worth any penny either way. Probably does best or enjoyed best in cooker weather but I'll find a way to make it work in the summer 😂 Is this a safe blind buy? For any coffee, vanilla or gourmand lovers I say yes. If you lean toward floral or fresh/aquatic fragrances you can still give this a try because it is so unique, inoffensive and beautiful, but just beware this is a different.

This is yet another coffee fragrance I’m falling in love with. Two of my favorite fragrances are CH Good Girl and Montale Intense Cafe. This falls right in line with that kind of scent profile. It’s less in-your-face than Intense Cafe and not as zesty as Good Girl. If you’ve ever glazed peaches with honey then roasted them, that is the opening of this fragrance. Then the coffee and vanilla show up to show out. There’s a Honey Vanilla Latte they sell at Cheesecake Factory, and this is giving me those vibes. What I absolutely LOVE, though, is the vetiver in the dry down. That woodsy/earthiness is exactly the foundation this needs. It balances the gourmand notes so well. I’ve always said Good Girl reminded me of the way my aprons used to smell when I came home from working at Starbucks. By contrast, The Scent Absolute smells like your locally-owned, independent coffee shop. The kind that still bakes their pastries onsite and maybe serves beer and wine in the evenings. Although it’s suitable for the office or other daytime wear, this comes off very sexy and sophisticated. I find that it lasts all day if sprayed on my clothes, but the sillage is not that great. Might make a good bedtime scent. I also could see myself reaching for this on a fall or winter date night. Absolutely gorgeous.

I already have: THE SCENT EDT, INTENSE and Black bottled EDP. (Not a fan of the opening of the latter) I'm very positively surprised by this blind buy. I feared the coffee note. I'm not a coffee drinker and although I sometimes might enjoy the smell of coffee I don't want to smell like it....or at least that is what I thought. Haha. Because it's when it settles I start going like "yummm"... So it definitely doesn't bother me if it's there. Actually, it rather gives me the vibes of chocolate/cocoa and vanilla after it has settled, but not at all in a sickening sweet way. Very pleasant smell, not loud at all. People might be right about the sillage, that it stays close to skin, but I can still smell it on myself faintly now the day after applying it. HB normally doesn't last more than a few hours on my skin. This is the kind of soft (cocoa) vibe I was hoping for in Prada candy night. This does not remind me of GG at all. This one is way more inoffensive and soft. Suits me well for autumn and winter time. As mentioned by someone else, im also impressed by the atomizer! The perfume comes out as a VERY fine mist. You almost think it didn't spray anything because it feels so soft and light.

Love it and have been loving it since I got it in the fall. I was looking to purchase the original and then I saw this and if ever a svent has an absolute or intense version out at the same time as I see the original I always go for the intense or absolute, elixir those types "reformulations' that make the scent usually stronger. Maybe because I'm an ex smoker I like things to be stronger but my absolute favorite time to wear perfumes is in the cooler months and this is just one of thousands of examples of why. Comfy cozy warm type of scent that I absolutely love wearing while sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee I wish I smelled that more here. That's really the only complaint because the longevity and sillage were good for myself. Edit: I was set to get the intense and I saw this for I believe it was $30 less and they seem to not have a big difference in notes due to how much I really like this one I would love to try the intense especially because now that I've had it for a few months I'm realizing thatbthere is a big difference in price between the two and I kind of would like to know why LOL just wanted to add that.

What a great addition to the Boss The Scent line! It somehow fits in with its predecessors, but it's much better. The Scent was an average peach shampoo, Private Accord was a good, but simple chocolate gourmand. The new Absolute recalls them, but it's more complex, a sensual oriental gourmand that sticks to my skin for a whole day and night. Not what you would expect from Boss, really! It starts out vanillic and I definitely get tonka beans here, even though they're not listed as a note. I also think there might be some white florals in the background. I don't really detect coffee beans, but there is something roasted and bittersweet in it, like there is in coffee or dark chocolate. The peach note is juicy and smooth and gives the scent a refreshing lift. And in the drydown, vetiver finally comes out and adds a subtle masculine edge to the otherwise feminine fragrance. The Scent Absolute gives me some vibes from Dior Addict and CH Good Girl. All the notes work perfectly together, it's warm and sexy, but not as extremely sweet as many other new scents from this category. Absolutely worth a try, especially if you're not usually a Boss fan.
