Boss Woman

As far as I remember, this was my first perfume. I must have been around 15 years old. I couldn't wear it, and I didn't know what attracted me to the scent. Nevertheless, I asked for it and wore it about 3 times, then I simply had the bottle until it turned. Ages later, I remembered this. I enjoy having it wafting around me so much. Boss Woman is absolutely not in the range of what I'd expect to like, but to my nose it's a really distinct scent, one I remember, and one which I surprisingly still like. The heart notes come through right from the start, and it stays on me for about six hours. On my scarf this lasts for 2-3 days. So the longevity really isn't bad at all! Sillage is about arm's length. This is really fresh. I like that it's not vanilla-y, and still warm. The sandalwood doesn't give me a headache, but it keeps me on my toes. It doesn't cry 'clean' to me because of the wood notes. Neither do I notice any sour citruses, and I agree, the mango in this is not a fully ripened mango, but something younger, greener. That may also be linked to the freesia, which has a peppery fresh, sometimes green odour profile. Boss Woman is almost spicy, but mostly fresh and a little sweet. It's a quite light musky fruity scent to me. A friend smelled it on me and noted that it was a really "feminine" scent to her. Awesome, feminine but not heavy. Perfect for spring. I just ordered the 90ml bottle, and will wear this whenever I need a contemporary trip down memory lane. The only drawbacks for me are the bottle and the name. Let's just not speak about it. Other than that, something I really enjoy! Edited to say that this is now my signature. I love this so much.

Boss Woman is my ultimate choice for summer and spring. It oozes with crispiness, freshness and cleanliness. It is no good to classify it as floral fruity as there is hardly anything fruity about it. Not to my nose, that is. I definitely see that fragrance matching a winter white ruffled shirt with a string of red coral necklace, fitted cropped trousers and red heels. This fragrance is feminine and, unlike some reviewers, I actually cannot sense any similarity to masculine fragrances. Boss Woman is a universal fragrance; perfect when worn to office as well as a casual party with friends at the local karaoke pub. Lasting power and silage are decent; it only needs reapplying every 5 hours or so. The bottle is simple and reflects the nature of the fragrance. 9/10

I cannot say that this fragrance is featureless and generic. It has it's own character. Simply this character is a quit and a calm one not screeching and drawing too much attention. There are no dominant notes, no bitchiness and everything is gently ballasted. It's an universal fragrance without a hint of chemical note. Usually Hugo boss fragrancies sit at me in quite strong and sweet way. This one is the first light and fresh version among Hugo boss fragrances (any case with my skin chemistry). But in no way short lasting. It lasts all the day and even a little bit a day after. I have very gentle whiffs of the white cedar with juicy mango and fresh freesia during all the day. A real all time classic! Good work Hugo Boss!

I love this perfume. Out of my 180 bottle collection, this is the best one to wear at work. It has just the right amount of freshness, it's fruity without being too sweet (green mango is the fruit here), smart, businesslike and helps me to focus. Moreover, there's that "Je ne sais quoi" which makes it interesting and unique. The only perfume it reminds me of, is Givenchy Organza, but Boss woman is more subtle and wearable on a daily basis. On the other hand I feel sorry that this beauty has fallen into oblivion, but since nobody else seems to wear it these days, I feel like I can call it my own.

DO NOT EXPECT EVEN A BIT OF MANGO IN THIS SCENT Just got a fresh bottle I get no mango at all only a slight faint fruity essence of cranberry pretty faintly It smells like a fresh rosy Freesia with mint and watery notes Maybe the slightest hints of violet but the fresh flowery violet not the powdery violet I don’t get powder here Actually its quite unique with that aquatic mint twist soo good 🤍 Clean White T-Shirt Freesia And Mint And i get a hint of citrus in the opening and a Green essence In Short Freesia Mint Shampooy Clean Aquatic Green Crisp Violet Citrus Fresh Musk Fruity

Freesia is being described as a “fresh spicy powdery floral note” and this is it for me! Pure freesia in a bottle, with some woody undertone! I can only enjoy it from mid october onwards, for me during the warmer months it has a funny insect spray smell (🤷🏻♀️) but during the winter it smells sublime: pure effortless sophistication. The cool girl that never had to try hard in anything to succeed. But always remained untouched by it all. ...Also one that can’t laugh full heartedly cuz she never had to cry bottomless tears...

After trying a few others, I have to revise my review of this one. At first, this struck me as a typical overly sweet fruity floral, common and in no way unique. I still think it smells like alot of other scents but it is not as syrupy as I first thought. It does have a redeeming maturity after awhile that keeps it from being a tosser. Better than some, not as good as others.

Instantly recognizable but nowhere near as sexy as the original Boss for men. Its very warm and sexy BUT unfortunately no notes in particular jump out. You wont smell it and think 'ohh mango' or anything. It does smell like a generic, synthetic blend.. but not in a bad 'supermarket' way. Nice, worth owning and trying but too common to be a signature scent.

Lovely!Nice, clean and elegant. It's also longlasting. I would like to have smell this perfume within the office. But if you are looking for something sexy then it's wrong address. The most dominant note is freesia to me. Well balanced!I love this! You feel calm if you use it in the fall and you feel cheerful if you use it in the spring!

Wonderfully shower fresh and wet. Smooth and cool. I would think hyacinth is in this, might be the freesia. Its a little 90s but very nice, todays freshies are usually morr aquatic, green or woody and dry. This one is cool shower steam. Fab. I think if you like ck fragrances this one is less woody than those usually might like this

I remember years ago my mother and I got a tester of this fragrance, and I totally fell in love with it! After that, it became my first perfume. Now that I'm in my early twenties, I still love Boss Woman! To me, this fragrance is like an embodiment of woman! Can't wait to get it and wear it at work and university!

I got this recently and I'm TOTALLY in love with it. It's so balanced as a smell, bearable to wear it, soft and mild yet it shows your personality and strongness. Perfect for office wear and it could be sexy and intoxicating to wear at night too.

It's very refreshing thanks to the fruity opening, then freesia and violets make it more feminine. Crisp, light and comfortable. It makes a great office perfume, lasts all day, stays close the skin.

When I had it still emember people saying all the time...you smell so good...even those who I didnt know, in bus, underground. I love it, because this smell is for a girl who knows what she wants.

It's a great fragrance, fresh and sexy at the same time - perfect for night wear. Cons: it doesn't hold on my skin... Suggestion: try it out before u get it!

I was transported back to the freesia laden early 2000’s with this perfume! Crisp, clean and classy, it’s perfect for the daytime.

BOSS WOMAN is a fresh, clean floral-fruity fragrance similar in structure and attitude to Victoria's Secret DREAM ANGELS DESIRE, BODY, and SEXY LITTLE THING. Also somewhat similar to Creed SPRING FLOWER. Also somewhat similar to x, y, z... It's good to know that those seeking a safe office scent that makes people take note, at most, of their having recently showered, need not worry: they are in ample supply! I'm not saying that there are no distinctions to be drawn between the large selection of such floral fruity fragrances on the market. I'm simply saying that all of them occupy a relatively small plot of perfumeland dedicated to this specific genre. But the primary distinctions inhere in the openings, which are evanescent anyway, so comparing them is rather like a Guinness Stout drinker attempting to identify the fine distinctions between various light beers. An exercise in futility, since the beverage of choice lies rather far from all of them! That said: BOSS WOMAN is a high-quality fruity floral with just a smidgeon of soapiness in the drydown and good staying power in the edp. Very nice, if that's the sort of juice you're looking for!

The EdP smells like just about any other generic commercial fragrance that’s out there, with the usual mix of aldehydic-citrus top notes, nondescript floral stuff in the midsection, and some very synthetic-smelling woody notes and musks in the base. It seems strong at first, but the top notes quickly dissipate, leaving behind a surprisingly mild scent for a commercial EdP. At this point there’s a little bit of generic fruitiness along with the slightly aquatic florals and light woody-musky base. Boss Woman is not bad for what it is, but it really has nothing to distinguish it from thousands of other commercial scents except, perhaps, the fact that the sillage is not overpoweringly strong.

@relaxx1 - bardzo ładny opis, zrozumiałam 90%, język słowacki jest piękny!:) Chyba chcę jeszcze raz przetestować te perfumy, chociaż do niedawna wydawały mi się trochę nudne. After reading everybody's reviews here, I want to test this perfume again, as until some years ago I found it rather boring. I remember it as a plain, soft, refreshing and elegant scent, and recently I've been quite into such scents, trying to discover hidden beauty that is inoffensive - the beauty of floral-fruity-aquatic notes that don't always have to be boring, just require a bit more sniffing to fully appreciate them;)

Such an appropriate office scent. It does project quite a bit though, so don't over-spray! It smells really clean, fresh and professional. Its fruity and floral without being too girly. The mango is definitely the dominant note in this for me, which is a plus. I find springtime perfumes to be the most challenging of all seasons, because I love crisp, tart or spicy scents in winter, warm gourmands in fall and light aquatic scents in summer, all three don't really hit the mark in spring. I think fruity florals like Boss Woman will be my go-to for spring!
