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.

When I first tested this I thought it leans towards a more unisex scent. The opening of the fragrance is wonderful. There's a subtle freshness from the peach, embraced by the mild sweetness of the honey note. However it fades away in a few minutes and coffee becomes the protagonist. In the background there's a masculine accord from the vetiver. At the drydown, when coffee mingles with vanilla, you get a cocoa powder smell, with a hint of honeyed peach. It isn't too original, as I can detect Good Girl vibes, minus the sweetness. The longevity and sillage are average. I do, however, feel that there's no attitude here. It lacks that special quality to make it stand out. The Scent Absolute is an everyday perfume, an easy reach for a cold winter morning in a coffee shop or at home, enjoying your espresso dressed in cozy knits, while looking at the raindrops on the window. If you are into not too sweet fragrances, or you love coffee you might enjoy this. EDIT: In cold weather it evolves beautifully. I tried it again today and I can't stop smelling my wrist. It's warm and cozy, even sensual. It's a keeper eventually. I love it.

It’s warm, it’s sweet and powdery just as it should. My all times favorite from Hugo Boss. I don’t find it at all like Mon Guerlain, maybe just in the powdery note, actually I think this is much better done and more long lasting than Mon Guerlain. Also I can’t find similarities with Black Opium, is true Black Opium is with an idea better in the performance but I like so much more as a formula, is more refined and elegant. I love that is somehow simple and not having 100 crazy ingredients from other “planets” that I never heard about. This is exactly how a perfume should be, in my opinion and is totally a safe blind buy. I would always choose this perfume instead of Baccarat Rouge 540, Delina or Oud Jaune Intense ( which btw has the same projection and longevity) .

Fragrance with evocative power of fascinating places, to me, even if only imagined. Narcotic, smoky. The liquid is thick, warm and voluptuous. The rarefied and gloomy atmosphere reminds of a circle or club where billiards is played, over a drink and a cigar, if this is allowed. Sublime. This is the opening and I'm certainly in love with it. Then, in the heart, scent opens and peach emerges, stands out, fresh but not juicy nor sweet, always slightly rough. Peels dusted with cocoa powder. On skin drydown is nearly heaven. This fragrance has the power to change my mood and give me also a foretaste of the magical advent atmospheres, in advance. Love.

I love this perfume so much. It starts out with peach and a little bitterness from the coffee I guess. Then when it warms and it's been on my skin for a while it starts to get the most amazing marshmallow-y, brown sugar-y trail that wafts all around. The smell itself is like the most beautiful dried fruit or tobacco. Real tobacco, hanging in a barn. Not ashtray tobacco. The way real hanging tobacco smells similar to raisins. Hence why I associate it with dried fruit, I suppose. I see others saying it's not strong or long lasting on them, which I guess I feel very fortunate because this lasts very well on me and it has great sillage too.

This is absolutely beautiful from it's full creamy sweet introduction right down to it's softly pretty fruity conclusion with a steaming cup of premium coffee on the side. Some may find it too sweet or cloying, but for my nose, this is truly fragrant heaven. I have finally well and truly found a coffee scent to call my own. Balanced, blended, fully grown and a very welcome addition to my collection. I'm branching out....trying new things. The scent lasted through the night and I woke up with a lovely freshly showered clean linen scent. Probably not a good blind buy, but I love this.

I've worn this one a few times, and I adore it! One of my favourites. Never really got the coffee note( it's had time to macerate) which is probably why I got the coffee note yesterday. This is giving old school tobacconist shop, and I love it, not to be confused with cigarettes or burning smell, just sweet unsmoked tobacco, most likely the coffee and vanilla mixing, I couldn't stop smelling myself, might also be because I have a cold. But I'm loving the scent line, only one I don't like is magnetic.

This one actually lasts a good while for me. I can smell it wafting around about 8 hours later. Very yummy cool/cold weather scent. I really don’t think I could take this in warm weather. The vetiver keeps it grounded so it’s not overly/sickly sweet. The coffee note comes off as a deep, dark chocolate mocha type of coffee. This definitely has a Good Girl vibe (not the same - just a vibe), but I think this one is more interesting. If you like Good Girl, this one is worth trying.

Very beautiful and addictive. The most perfect it should be for spring and autumn day and night but I like it also in winter. Very feminine and I would never guess the parts - it feels floral to me and with a narcotic edge I find similar to Code by Armani. The projection in winter reaches my chin. And I catch wafts of it thorough the day and it is elegant. Polished and smooth. For a wild businesswoman. The longer I wear it the more it resembles Code. Lasts very well.

Beautiful and long lasting, I must have a go comparing with scandal edp. This is not the sameas private accord also by hugo boss- maybe a touch in the middle somewhere of a similar note, u tired side my side. I have black opium I would have to try side by side. The honey note is not the same as in scandal edp, the scent absolute is lovely Dry down is hazey cool warm cacao powder. This scent is louder than all the others bar private accord and the original

Dear lord in Heaven this so beautiful, like seriously I mix mine with Boss orange 🍊 Sunset and wowza what a beautiful combo , this is soft but strong close to the skin sent almost oily, I’m in absolute awe at this combo! It somehow reminds me of the beach but not coconut or maybe it’s baby oil ? Definitely unique especially mixed with another perfume , it can be used as a layering scent it’s actually perfect 🤩

Delicately blended with a little bit of all the other Hugo Boss Scent for Her flankers. It reminds me of Lanvin Arpege with the minor spicy note but, no where near as floral or spicy. I really enjoy this perfume. I felt it could be a bit fruitier for day use, so I bought the original to layer together with it. I don't get headaches with any of the Hugo Boss Scent for Her perfumes.

Perfect for romance! Very sensual and seductive. Very well blended and doesn't remind me the other perfume lines of this house, which is a good thing if you'll ask me.. I was very surprised by this gem, never thought of buying Boss before, since I find their frags kinda 'flat' and too mainstream-boring.. but this one is just a masterpiece-surprise in a bottle!

These flanker are all different I notice. Ok, I get an eraser+sweet+cool opening, I think it’s a flower but I don’t know what. Or it’s a combo I’m not familiar honey is noticeable, I feel like the coffee isn’t as much. I think it could be black opiums quieter cousin. In the dry down it’s warm, honey, and other notes that stop it being hugely sweet

This is incredible! I've added it to my list of perfumes to get, so I can't quite speak on the longevity yet, but in terms of sillage it beats Hugo Boss' The Scent Private Accord by a landslide. Fall–winter scent for me. If coffee and gourmands are your jam, I couldn't recommend this enough.

I don't even know how to describe how much I love this. It's warm, cozy and comforting but also sexy and very feminine. The scent lasts all day on my clothes but only a few hours on my skin, which is a shame and the only negative about this stunning scent
