Boss The Scent Private Accord for Her

If you're about to buy this please read this first. so this perfume smells AMAZING! especially few minutes after the sprays, and as for something like the first one or two hours (at least for me). The problem - THE LONGEVITY THE THE MOST POOR LONGEVITY I'VE EVER TRIED! At first the sillage is really good, you can really smell it all over you (of course if you dont like orangy-choclaty kind of smells do not get near to this one). After two hours you litteraly need to press your nose to your wrest to smell this, you can't even call it a skin scent, it's that horrible. but still, the smell is amazing. To my opinion, it could have being tottally concidered to be a unisex perfume, I dont know why hugo boss made this a female scent, but dont let it scare you if you're a female and looking for something feminine, its really so sexy, and if you're wearing something sexy with it people will treat you like a choclate bar. Also men, I will go crazy if I'd sit next to a man smelling like this, if we're forgetting about the poor longevity and sillage and talking only about the smell, this is a totally safe buy for guys. back to the problem - the longevity. If you do want this perfume because of the smell - you can just use it as for short meetings (I actually think it could be really cool to go with it on work meetings, its sexy but in a super sophisticated way), over spray it, grub it with you in your hand bag and give it more sprays every few hours while going to the toilette (the bottle is kinda small and you can easly take it with you), layer it with other choclatycoffeecocoa perfumes (like prada candy night, angel muse, black opium and such) - so there are some things you can do to use it. If you don't have time to spray during the daynight, I wouldnt buy it because it would be a big disappointment and a waste of money. there are other perfumes out there that blends orangy-smells with choclate, not a lot but there are (there is the new "yes I am delicious" perfume that has just being released - its choclate with orange blossom, im not sure if its the same but I know the "yes I am" range got some really good longevity and their price is also really good).

Reviewing for 3 chocolate fragrances below. Hugo Boss Private Accord First spray smells like semi sweet dark chocolate and oranges like other reviewers have mentioned. I wasn't a fan of osmanthus in Narcisco Rodriguez for her, but it works beautifully with the notes here for me. As it starts to dry down, it turns more into a milk chocolate. It smells sweet, feminine, and slightly fresh. I would wear this fragrance on a date or night out for sure because it's not as "warm and cozy" as the other chocolate fragrances I'm reviewing below. For a chocolate fragrance, I love this. I am 32 years old and prefer feminine fragrances. This scent is a happy medium for me. It's not "too mature" and it's not "too juvenile". The orange and osmanthus gives this chocolate scent a lil more depth, but it's not bizzare or intriguing. It's more on the safe side. Lasting power isn't that great tbh. However, I'll still be buying this. Clinique Cocoa & Cashmere First spray smells exactly like rubbing alcohol and then a warm, cottony, musky, milk chocolate comes through. It stays pretty linear throughout the whole wear. Lasting power is not as great either like HB Private Accord. I could probably wear this on a date night too. However, it gives me more of a netflix and chill vibe or snuggling up to a blanket by myself watching chick flix and eating ice cream. :P Not bad, I like it and am considering buying it. I want all of my linens to smell like this, haha. Edit: I prefer this dry down over the HB Private Accord, it's coming off more "optimistic" and younger. Def buying this. Al Rehab - Choco Musk Not a fan. This is extremely too sweet for my taste. For me, it smells like milk chocolate and incense. I don't mind incense, myrrh, or resinous notes as I love them in other fragrances I own. But the contrast of these notes in Choco Musk just doesn't work for me here as it's linear - like my nose picks up strong incense throughout the whole wear. This lasting power is a beast. It has lasted on my cardigan for 4 days straight.

Another discontinued perfume I recently hunted down a new bottle and added to my collection. At first look at the notes it’s gourmand but it’s nothing like that after the first 2 minutes. If you’ve ever had osmanthus tea before, you would immediately recognize the osmanthus floral note. Ok initial spray, I get citrus, cacao. Very captivating. This is literally what you smell if you sniff the nozzle after spraying. It then starts to fade and lets the osmanthus through. Dry down happens so fast (meaning top notes disappears before you get the 10th sniff in). Then I am left with a faint nice osmanthus & tonka (woody creamy vanilla) light skin scent. So yes, reviews saying this has no longevity, fades extremely fast, beautiful but becomes a skin scent, losing the citrus and chocolate note shortly after spraying. All these comments are absolutely accurate. It’s an oriental floral tea by the 5 min mark. There is some sweetness to it, very pleasant and mild. Despite how poor performing this scent is, it’s the kind of scent at first sniff I know I’ll be keeping this. Expect this as a scent you want to wear close to yourself, not to project or for anyone. Definitely not offensive. This is a blind buy for me. No regrets. I love this!

I love this perfume! As another review mentioned this does actually smell like palmer's cocoa butter with some added mandarin but it still smells lovely to me! When I purchased this i expected to literally smell chocolate and orange but it's more like you open up one of those candy oranges they sell around the holidays. Yes it is a gourmand scent but it still smells like a hugo scent of that makes sense. This scent is a juicy orange being peeled next to a mocha latte by someone wearing hugo perfume (hope that gives a better description). I would say this is a medium dark fragrance, not dark or deep like carolina herrera but it does have some depth and probably most appreciated during cooler weather. I own this and the scent absolute and they're both divine. I feel so confident, sexy and delicious when I wear them even if people can hardly smell me. Both of them do turn into a skin Scent after an hour so I recommend spraying on clothes. I would say this is a safe blind buy for someone who appreciates unique scents and likes gourmand fragrances. I strongly dislike celebrity perfumes but this gives me similar vibes to Brittany Spears Private show although they smell nothing alike.

I think i should test again all perfumes i wasnt impressed with in the past, because so many perfumes i love now, were not a love at the first sniff. I liked this one. But it wasnt a "wow". Also the longevity was so bad, that i kind of promised myself i would never buy something like that. Because, for me, one of the most important things about the perfumes is the performance. But when i saw it yesterday in the store for half a price, i decided to give it a try even tho i already knew, i was going to be annoyed with the longevity. BUT! you guys.. first of all, it smells so delicious. Exactly like chocolate and mandarin. I spray mainly on my clothes and i could still smell it on my t-shirt this morning. On the skin, indeed, it lasts only for a few minutes. So, if you wanna buy this one, but hesitate because of its poor longevity, i recommend overspraying on your clothes. Also, i really like the bottle and the cap that - ulike caps on some other perfumes - stays on. Not sure why is it so hard to make a good perfume cap. And we are not talking about cheap perfumes, but about brands like Mugler or Guerlain.

I’ve not much to add about the orange-chocolate delight that is Boss Private Accord. Instead, I’d like to weigh in and sing the praises of the fragrance as a complete experience. The airiness this composition achieves is remarkable. After the delectable opening, the white flowers float just above my skin in the most charming way! Many commenters seem to have longevity woes, thankfully I’m not one of them, and can detect the scent for up to twelve hours or more after spraying. As many others do, I find this to be a wonderfully comforting bedtime scent, and enjoy Private Accord more when the weather reaches freezing temperatures. I found that I never reached for it in spring or summer. After consideration I decluttered Jimmy Choo Fever and Sophia Vergara Love and kept this as my preferred coffee note perfume along with Black Opium Extreme (no resemblance). The nose for this, Louise Turner, is such a talent. I’ve had the privilege to test many of her creations, and Boss the Scent Private Accord is top tier.

I had never heard of this (or the original), but the notes sounded awesome, so I did a blind buy from Mercari. I’ve been on a cacao kick lately - I absolutely looooooove Clinique’s “Cocoa & Cashmere,” but it’s basically a body spray in terms of staying power. My sister got a sample of Prada Candy Night (another cacao base) and hated it, so I gave it a try, and it’s kiiiinda good, but has a GROSS sharp bitter note in it that really ruins it (we thought maybe the neroli?), so I decided to continue my search. Long story long, here we are, it just got delivered today. Since it was previously owned, I smelled the sprayer first and about screamed — it smelled EXACTLY like my end-all-be-all favorite cologne, Joop! Homme. Sweet and spicy and commanding. It has been on my wrist for about 2 hours now and is a beautiful warm spicy cacao. I absolutely love it. I just wish it wasn’t about to be April right now, because this is definitely a fall scent. Regardless, awesome blind buy, total winner.

This is my favorite scent I own at the moment. I have loved Terry's chocolate oranges since I can remember - they are only available in the winter time in my town and this perfume makes me feel so cozy. Anyway, the review! This is just gorgeous. After a few hours I can still smell the orange on my skin, not just the cacao, and I think the osmanthus and coffee also pull through quite nicely. I have the original and while I enjoy it, this is deeper and more comforting to me. It's soft but seductive and that is my favorite kind of perfume. I just love it. Longevity and sillage could be improved a bit. I only get about 5-6 hours max, but this doesn't sway my opinion because it still makes my mouth water. My husband loves this as well and gets so excited when he sees me pick this up to wear. I can't get over how much I love this. Thank you, HB!! ETA: the atomizer on this is also amazing...the spray is so fine.

I love this perfume as most of the Hugo Boss perfumes. I think Hugo Boss perfumes are such good quality and way better than others that are more expensive. This fragrance is one of my favorites from everything I own and it makes me feel so beautiful and attractive when I use it. It’s sweet but doesn’t make me sick. I feel vanilla, a note of warmth cacao and just a little bit spicy, exactly as it should and tonka beans when it dries. For sure I don’t feel any mandarin in chocolate or orange and coffee, it just smells as I like a perfume to smell, sweet but clean ( in a fresh way but not sporty type) and sexy, not 50 ingredients mixed together and the result is something dirty, heavy and overwhelming that gives you nauseous. The longevity is good enough on my skin, the sillage is moderate.

It is my SOTD and truth be told, it is G-O-R-G! I have to say though that after wearing it for years I find much to be desired in the longevity department. I have had to overspray and reapply a lot throughout today and it's just midday! How can something smelling so refined and up class have such poor longevity?! Nonetheless, overspraying is the key which will be my modus operandi with this for as long as it lasts! After I run out I might try another orange chocolate concoction with better longevity. EDIT [16th November 2023]: I have tried a few chocolate fragrances in the past couple of months but nothing quite hits the spot like this. I think it's the combination of bright citrus with smooth rich chocolate that is unmatched.

I love this! Initially I get a bright, inviting orange which is softened by the cacao and tonka. It's sweet and feminine and mixes well with other fragrances. Because this is light I find it to be a good scent for pretty much any weather or occasion. It's not a heavy hitter and will not project too far, however this lasts on me until I shower it off my skin (around 9+ hours of wear). Yes, most of the time it's a skin scent, but it's a really sweet and enjoyable one. Easy to wear and inoffensive! The only negatives I have to say are that on me the orange is very dominant and after a while it does start to smell slightly synthetic, although I still enjoy it. The bottle is really nice too!

It's so incredibly sexy and delicious. I was recommended it by a fellow fraghead at work, so I was walking through the airport and finally smelled it in a duty free shop. I sprayed it on my finger and couldn't stop smelling my finger all day, it was intoxicating. And I was under the impression that it lasted really well. Well it lasts a long time, yes, but this would k i l l if it had some sillage to it. Of which it has very little. But I still love it. There's something about it, something so sexual about it, I'm a little embarrassed to wear it out much yet. I would wear it year round because it's a bomb but obviously it's more a cool weather scent.

I am so happy I blind bought this, it is a gorgeous gourmand, but not the heavy weird one, very wearable and yummy! I don't get much of the cocoa/chocolate notes, only in the beginning I feel this minty flavored type of chocolate and soon after caramelized oranges and vanilla. There is a playful fruitty bubblegum feel to it that I really love and makes for lightening up the sugary sweetness of the oranges. Warm and sensual, I see this best fit in winter/spring/fall, will see how it wears in Summer. Very well done, Boss, and the price is great for what you get. Decent longevity of 8-10 hours, stays closer like a skin scent after the 4th hour

Perfectly blended bright gourmand. Absolutely lovely for the price point and probably much better than some of the other much more expensive chocolate gourmands on the market. Top notes are lovely and would probably love this more if there was no Osmanthus, as it is not a favourite of mine. Overall, I love how this smells. I find the longevity a bit of an issue. You need to spray a this a few times. Haven't had a chance to let it macerate, so not sure if the longevity or intensity increases as more air is introduced into the bottle. Not only is this FBW, I am planning on purchasing a back up. Safe Blind Buy for chocolate lovers.

I remained rather indifferent to this perfume. I was very excited to test it: its olfactory notes are among my favorites. I don't know how to describe it. A chocolatey orange indeed, which awakens the Christmas spirit and reminds of the holiday season. But I think I would rather eat this chocolate orange than smell it on me all the time. This scent is just gourmand and comforting, but nothing sexy and original if you want to stand out. It's just pleasant and won't bother anyone I guess. But well, what I deplore the most is its staying power! After 3 hours, I don't smell anything. Just a little cocoa at the bottom. 7.5/10

I blind bought this after seeing Jeremy Fragrance on YouTube review it. Seemed like it was a little out of my comfort zone but still familar with the sweet chocolate notes. I was so excited to get home and smell this and it did not disappoint! Just smelling the sprayer I knew I did good with this! The opening is such a fun concoction of juicy mandarin and rich tonka. As it starts to settle, the warm, yummy chocolate note seeps through. This is so yummy and sexy! The dry down is warm powdery cocoa. I suppose this could be unisex but I definitely find this more feminine! Very happy with this purchase.

I bought a few samples for a test - and after that a nice full bottle. It is a sweet perfume, lasts on me around 4 hours, after that it changes to mostly skin scent - but other people can smell it sometimes even longer than me. I regret that my smell sense is not as good as theirs, i would like to enjoy this scent longer - but of course nothing is stopping me from spraying it again^^. This is one of my favourites (to be honest - I love other perfumes form The Scent for Her Collection too) - can not wait for cooler days so i can use it without feeling overwhelmed by the sweetness of it.

I have wanted to find a Boss The Scent flanker that is just right for me. The original is lovely but a bit too light to suit me. I loved my tester of the Parfum edition but in the long run it got too cloying. I fell in love right away when I tried this in the tax-free shop at the airport. The first splash is to me pure cacao powder, very realistic. It sets as a sweet, warm yet seductive gourmand scent. The tonka and osmanthus is pretty strong on me. It's just so well blended and lovely. Perfect for dates and night outs but I will wear it to school as well, it's that addicting.

Fantastic fragrance. You can smell dark chocolate and mandarin, but not in a sweet way. It has not a strong projection, it's more like a skin scent. It makes me feel cozy and relaxed. Because it's not too strong I think it's appropriate for the office too. Fortunately, its different from what it's done this days. It's easy to reach when a want to put on a scent and go, without thinking too much, but you don't want a fresh clean scent. If you like beast mode scents, then this one it's not for you. I would say it's a soft, not sweet, cozy gourmand.

This perfume is the most unique I have in my collection. Ive seen it recently in a lot of perfume videos but never thought I would actually get it. The other day I was buying online and I impulsively got it (blind buy). This perfume is like being at a coffee shop mixed with bakery scents. I absolutely love it. I used it the other day for the office and I saw a few people wanting to get closer (that rarely happends) It lasted for a good 4 hours but I would reapply. Im a gourmand fan and this is so far the sweetest perfume Ive ever tried.
