Deep Red

I had this around the time it came out but gave it to a friend, whom it suited perfectly at the time. I was more into florals like J'adore, Acqua di Gio and fruity scents like Ibiza Hippie :) I recently came back to this because a) it's still around and b) keeps popping up. Available for very reasonable prices I snatched up a bottle and am so happy that I did. Deep Red for sure has undergone some tweaks but the scent is still the same, at least to my memory. Sillage is not as strong as before but aside of that... Lasting power is moderate and on clothes it lingers for a long time. If you're spray happy that's not a problem with the current formulation. On me Deep Red is quite fruity and even invigorating in the opening, I definitely detect the citrus, pear and already a little spice from the middle notes. Speaking of those - the florals are indeed a teeny weeny bit muddled. Tuberose peaks out, the others I'd have to guess. But that's not necessarily a bad thing since - in my mind - they are only a supporting act. Deep Red really shines when it reaches the base and dry down (which it quickly does): A little citrus from the top, ginger and "flowery" note from the middle - added to the great sandalwood-musk-vanilla combo (I don't get much of the cedar). The scent is airy yet warm, a little fruity, a little flowery - as said. Very elegant without being heavy or obnoxious. Easy to wear, easy reach every day. Especially in Autumn and Winter! (Review for a bottle made in Germany).

I think I was a year out of high school when I first tried this. It was newly released at the time. I remember not really liking it because I felt it smelled a little too mature for me, but also I was really into the typical fruity floral young adult type of scent. I ended up passing it along to my best friend. As I've gotten older though, I wanted to revisit the fragrances that I used to wear back in the day and this was one of them. A lot of the fragrances that I used to wear I'm sure have been reformulated. I had bought a bottle of this on one of those discount websites. I was so excited when I received my fragrance but not so excited once I sprayed it. It lacked the potency that the original formula had. It smelled incredibly watered down and like flat soda? I can still smell the DNA of the original, but it doesn't last long. It is still quite a sexy scent and I have not come across something that smells remotely even like this. I had bought givenchy l'interdit rouge and I can see the resemblance, but rouge is just a tad bit too bubblegummy for me. Way feminine as well. I think Deep Red can be pulled off by a confident man. I was able to find an older bottle on eBay for a pretty decent price. I can't really tell if it's the original formula, but the box looks very different from the ones that are sold now. Fingers crossed that it's the original formula! I might come back and edit this once I receive it.

I really love this one, it was a blind buy for me, reminded me of a relative and a trip to Europe so I bought it. It's a really hard scent to describe because everything is so well blended and bounces off one another so effortlessly. The deep richness comes from the creamy woody notes, it almost has that amber essence in the way that it all blends, but instead of fully going that direction you're transported to fresh, bright, sophisticated notes. I'm a huge hater of ginger, but the way it's used here is impeccable, the only thing you get from that note is a warm air of spice that's bold enough to be present but soft enough to be comforting and not cloying. Same with the florals in here, they're very much well there but they meld so nicely with everything else that they're comfortable being in there. The fruity notes sit there a little louder, but this isn't a traditional in your face kind of citrus. The brightness of those notes is there, but again not too strong as to overpower everything else. The name really is fitting, the color red evokes a certain kind of bright fruity scent, but the depth added to this really makes it something so special and very well done. This is the kind of going out scent I've been yearning for, where it's unique enough to be non generic but so well done that it feels so natural and inoffensive to anyone that smells you.

I have repurchased this perfume several times since 2008. I agree with the reviewers who state that this has been reformulated. I am more on the lighter side of scents, but this one has found a way to stay in my wardrobe. It is bolder than elegant, hence playful and spicy. I like how it converts those citrus fruits into something "deep" and rich. Sandalwood and vanilla make it slightly sweet and creamy, but not 100% edible. I don't understand why people express that this smells a lot like the 2000s in a derogatory way. I find it quite timeless (not dated at all) and compared to some current overly sweet cheapies out there (all the Cheirosas and Vanillas, no offense), this is way more complex and interesting. Back then, I thought it smelled niche (I still believe that among all the cheapies, this is amazing for its price). It opens quite "perfumy"( I don't appreciate that), but when worn in the right weather conditions (cold), it's very enjoyable. It also takes me back to a moment in my life when I had to move forward alone while being extremely young, wearing this made me feel strong and bold, like I could do anything to succeed. It is amazing how a scent can improve our mood!

I used to love this one back in 2009, the first time I got it (I received as a gift). It had excellent longevity and sillage and I usually received many compliments whenever I wore it. Unfortunately these days it is not what it used to be. The scent is the same, but now is so weak that, in my opinion, it doesn't worth it any more. It's a pitty that such a beautiful perfume lost its quality and strenght. This smells citrusy, sweet and fruity at the beggining and turn into a deeper vanilla, flowery but still sweet scent when it dries down. I find it very sexy and appealing. I'm about to finish my 4th bottle, but this time I won't repurchase it because it's became a bland, weak worthless perfume. Update: I gave it another chance: I just bought a new one recently....and I confirmed that it was, for sure, reformulated and watered down. It still does smell very nice, so beautiful and alluring, but it has such a poor sillage and it lasts on me no more than 2 hours. So sad....

When I was a young teen I wore ici by Coty. It was my first signature scent. In the early 2000s someone offered me a bottle of Deep Red because they didn't like it and it immediately became favourite. It is everything ici wanted to be. The scent is similar in my opinion but ici was cheap drugstore stuff and Deep Red is made in perfume heaven and it's not cheap. I have a bit of a scent obsession but Deep Red has been a must have for me for 15 years. Recently it's been harder for me to find so I panicked and ordered 3 90ml bottles online. No regrets. For me, it has the tangy start of citrus without smelling at all citrusy. It is a wonderful blend of sweet, fresh spicy which becomes soft and powdery. It has immense power in the winter, the colder the better. Deep Red is the kind of scent you can take in your purse and spritz on without overpowering anyone. It is perfection in a bottle.

Love, Love, Love this! At first spray, it smells nice and very enjoyable. After 20-30 minutes it deepens and becomes a dark, sultry, seductive temptress enticing her male counterpart to drop his clothes on the floor so she can seduce him and ... well, own his ass basically LOL. It evokes images of a wicked seductress and boy oh boy is she going to have her way with you! Projection and sillage are moderate. Longevity is a bit of a let down as by the 4 hour mark it sat very close to the skin. Price is worth it if you don't mind reapplying, especially if you love the scent like I do. I can absolutely see this as being a scent for someone a bit older because she's no spring chicken when it comes to dominating in the bedroom, but in saying that and as others have mentioned, this would fit very much with the goth scene so in that case could fit well with the younger ladies too.

Discovered Deep Red in my efforts trying to find a scent similar to the tragically discontinued Valentino V, which was a woody fig fragrance. This was compared to V Absolu, which was compared to V, so I thought- can't go wrong. Blind buy. And yes! It is certainly similar to how I remember V smelling. It's honestly a perfect scent; it has this intoxicating quality that makes you want to keep smelling it. Not too much of anything, notes are so well blended. This is *slept on* and I hope that Hugo Boss doesn't discontinue it. What an affordable gem! I genuinely feel like you could wear this anywhere in any season. Not many fragrances can boast this versatility. My only lamentation is that it doesn't seem to be a heavy hitter, but I kinda knew that going into the reviews. At this price I can afford to overspray. Will def need the 100 ml bottle!

I got my mom DEEP RED HUGO BOSS years ago at Macy's except they don't sell it at fine department stores anymore. I recently purchased her second bottle of DEEP RED online at a discounted price, and it was well worth it. It's a lovely fruity, floral💐and, wood type of fragrance, you can wear it to school, work, church, or brunch. This fragrance deserves more credit. I suggest buying the largest bottle you can find so it can last you for years. NOTE: Store all fragrances in a cool, dark, and, dry places (dresser drawer or dark closet) away from any light especially direct sun light. Direct sunlight/heat changes the molecular structure⚗️of the fragrance causing the oils to rancid or bad even if the sun/heat exposure is for a few minutes.

This is positively intoxicating to me. I can't stop sniffing myself while wearing it.Puts a damper on my social life ;) I first smelled this as a sample on a school trip to England in 2001, and I remember falling in love with it then, but as a student I just couldn't afford it. I stumbled across a cheap bottle a while ago, and scooped it up straight away. The only regret I have is not getting it much sooner. This perfume manages to be both sexy and fresh, cozy and exciting, young and sophisticated all at once. It's sweet but not cloying, citrusy but not sharp, rich but not offensive. Suitable for any occasion or season, really. One of my absolute favorite scents.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. i will never get bored of this scent. my mom wore this throughout my childhood and i was always so impressed by it. the black currant, ginger and blood orange creates an amazing blend. it's fruity but also very mysterious... very feminine without being overpowering. gives a very strong, independent women vibe, suitable for colder months. i recently bought her a brand new bottle of this from the airport duty free but sadly my mom has been telling me that the longevity and sillage of this new version is very weak :( nevertheless i still love and cherish this fragrance as it reminds me of my childhood and my mom. budget friendly nostalgic scent.

What a lovely, soft, warm, sensual and delicious scent! I smelled it recently on my mother and told her I may "steal it" from her, to which she replied "go on, I don't like it". Yay! It has almost every note I like: citrus, pear (or apple, I love Nina Ricci Nina), tuberose, freesia (new discovery), hibiscus, vanilla, sandalwood, cedar. If only it also contained oud and the vanilla note was proeminent, it would be perfection! Ginger is not really perceptible, which is a plus for me as it can be quite intense. I can't stand strong scents, so I LOVE that Deep Red is rather intimate, soft, yet sexy, not boring.

A beautifully warm spicy perfume that I do not need to think twice about when choosing it for the day. It's feminine, the citrus fruity notes are warm and unoffensive, the tuberose and ginger are soft, and the musk and sandalwood ties it all together to create a gorgeous, classic scent that would (or should) be a staple in any woman's fragrance collection. It's a go-to perfume for me if I'm in a rush and can't decide what I want to wear that day. The woody and warm citrus undertones mix amazingly well. It's absolutely intoxicating and sensual, a genuine crowd-pleaser, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Deep red was my original love. I was 16 and getting ready to go clubbing when my friend nicked a few sprays of her mums perfume before we left the house. Well oh my days! I fell in love instantly. Never before had I smelt such a seductive, intoxicating and smooth perfume. I too nicked a couple of sprays and felt confidence like I'd never felt before. I've worn it on and off for years. It doesn't seem to have the same strength, intrigue and lasting power any more, but 20 years on, neither do I. My clubbing days are over but there will always be a place in my heart for deep red ♥️

A beautiful easy reach scent. Orange, with jasmine-like tuberose, and a touch of smooth vanilla. Gorgeous. It is a very common scent, almost generic. I feel I've smelled it before even though I don't remember doing so. It's such an easy-going scent. Fresh, lovely, cute. I really like it. On a side note, Deep Red has an overt similarity with another Hugo Boss release: Boss In Motion for men. The same vanilla orange scent but Deep Red is much better. It is smoother, softer, and more feminine. It's the better scent overall. Good for day and warm weather. "Love"

heavy on the oriental smell, a tad sweet, unique but has a hint of a vintage vibe to it, completely not what I was expecting. thought it was going to be more fresh smelling. Sprayed on my hand and wrist and became a skin scent, 20 mins later, sprayed it on paper to test and same thing happened. After an hour on the paper the smell was completely gone. Quite disappointed, not that much of a bold fragrance to be honest, not as much as people hyped it to be. Smells a little jammy sweet like with vintage flowers in the back definitely not a summer scent.

My first "real" (aka grown-up)perfume, that I bought on a whim, and which didn't let me down at all. I love this perfume, as to me it's the epitome of soft, sultry, almost smoky, femininity. I'm usually not very fond of orange in perfumes, but in this case it works very well with the woodiness of the sandalwood, in my opinion the most prominent note in this fragrance. The musk softs it out a bit, and gives it some sexiness. Somewhere in the beginning (after about half an hour) I get a small whiff of tuberose. Still one of my favourites!

This is my Mom's favorite scent and the bottle is a fixture in her bathroom. She is very much in the realm of fruity florals and ended up here after going through bottles of Chloé Narcisse and White Diamonds. Deep Red is much more fruit-forward and bright, with a pinch of yellow flower in a coating of vanilla, with a crispy citrus and ginger top, reminiscent of other fun early-2000s fruity ozonics. The iconic bottle is also the perfect color. "Red" is the vibe. Truth be told, this now-vintage, light-hearted, dumb-reach, leans unisex.

Here for the elder millenial nostalgia too! Oh the adventures we had together! Unforgetably sampled first on a boat cruise across the Andriatic sea. I fell in love and wore for years and years after. The first iterations of Deep Red were heavier and way less citrucy. The ginger note here is the hardest working note, making the wearer irresistible. I recall heading to my first cinema & dinner dates in full confidence wearing my "big girl" perfume. It exuded a powerful statement, oh those poor teenager boys!

A juicy, luscious blend of citrus fruits intertwines with vanilla sweetness, subtly spiced with ginger that lends a gentle edge. The whole composition is vintage in the finest sense of the word: thoughtful, well constructed, avoiding any literal gourmand excess while still caressing the senses with delectable notes. It is a rather quiet, close-to-the-skin fragrance, though on fabric its sweetness lingers until the end of the day. There is something beautifully cocooning about this vintage gourmand.

Hugo Boss definitely got the colour right. This is so red. Its the only perfume I own that feels both warm and cool at the same time. Its warm heart is wrapped in a super cool breezy embrace. It can be worn during the day but its a superstar at night. Sexy in a quietly seductive way. Its a comfort scent also and gorgeous for winter when rugged up and snuggle warm on a rainy day. I love Deep Red and Im surprised it doesn't seem to be more well known, its definitely a gorgeous perfume.

I get mostly the fruits, musk, ginger, vanilla and sandalwood. This is a very sexy scent, and screams POWER. If fragrances had colors, this would be red indeed, and Hypnotic Poison would be the darker red it is. They are similarish, similar sultry vibes. HP is the Queen and this is the gorgeous, headstrong princess. Lovely bottle. As strong and independent as the scent itself. Decent silage and longevity. And most of all - timeless, it will always be a top class beaut in my books

This perfume is so juicy and plump and sensual. After seeing the bottle and name I thought it would be darker and spicier so I felt a bit mislead at first but I absolutely love it for what it is. I'm not a massive gourmand fan so the ginger and citrus really lifts the vanilla. Very interesting and versatile, great for autumn and winter, I'm addicted. I feel like the sillage and longevity is definitely decent, not extraordinary. But super happy, especially for the price.

Idk what people are talking about. I first bought HDR in 2011 and it smells the same to me as it did back then and I’ve bought several bottles through the years. I can smell it on me all day. It’s a sexy woodsy black current scent that smells warm and cozy. I’m so picky with perfumes so the fact that I’ve bought it so many times shows how much I love it. I just can’t find perfumes I like from what they have out today compared to what they had in the early 2000s.

Very beautiful and kinda vintage smelling, evokes the color red, hence the name. Reminds me of my mom's old red lipsticks I used to play with. It's total love for me. I wish I could try it in cold weather, but here in Arizona, we do not get that kind of luxury. It's not clinging onto me for very long either, but it just might need some time to settle from shipping as it's often the case with perfumes with short longevity.

I’m not sure exactly what I smell, definitely not ginger. I smell the cedar I think but apart from that it’s just a lovely perfume. Kind of masculine in a way, probably because of the cedar. It’s listed as a cool weather scent, but I initially viewed it as more of a warm weather scent. I tried it and fell in love with it in cool weather so I guess we’ll have to see how it weathers (haha) in hot weather in order to see.

It is a fragrance that WILL get you noticed and it is very sensual, men absolutely adore smelling it on woman. Never had problems with silage or longevity but i loved it so much that i oversprayed. It may seem a little outdated by today's standards but i think it is just a more "in your face" kind of sultry and naughty scent. It may work best on brunettes though, most of my blonde friends weren't too happy with it.

This to me is a masterpiece. One of my first purchases when i started to make my own money back in the early 2000s, i easily fell in love with this and has owned multiple bottles ever since. It starts with the blood orange, ginger and liqueur and dries down with a sweet ginger liqueur and floral scent with a distinctly unique sillage that definitely is only Hugo Deep Red. Sweet. Mysterious. Feminine. Regal. Woman.

Simply beautiful! I was gifted this perfume back when I was a teenager then I moved on to other scents. Then I seen it again and thought I'd try it for old times sake. The memories this smell holds is unbelievable! It's not as heavy as it once was but it's still gorgeous. Warm, cozy and definitely a winter scent. If you like sweet, orange, vanilla and gourmand scents then you will love this one.

Sadly, this one has been reformulated in recent years. She’s DEFINITELY not as spicy, smoky or seductive.. barely a hint of musk. It’s really too bad. Somewhere along the line they’ve tamed her !!! Why??? She’s sweeter now, and still smells good, but her edge is gone. She was polarizing in the best way, before it was even cool. I’d say she’s an everyday scent now. This is NOT my Deep Red.

I bought it because of the Brazilian twin Egeo Woman (which was discontinued by Boticário). They are definitely brothers, but Hugo Boss has a tiny little bit more ginger, in my opinion, and Egeo is a really BEAST mode perfume. I really love Hugo Boss, it's a sexy, musky, deep scent, amazing for going out and winter days. It's long lasting (but less than Egeo) and the price is really good.

It is very similar to Armani code for her, but something is missing from Deep red compared to that. I had Armani code a long time ago, and while I found it very pleasant on others I couldn't bear it on myself, so I gifted it to my mum. Deep red however is one of my favourites. The annoying note from Armani code is not here, it is less floral and has a really pleasant dry down.

Underrated. As. F. I love this so much. It's not overly youthful and not the least bit old-fashioned. It's feminine, but not sickly sweet. The citruses at the top keep it fresh and playful, while the musky dry down gives it a smooth sexiness that lingers and leaves you wanting more. I absolutely LOVE wearing this. Maybe it's too soon to say, but it might just feel like "me".

I've recently discovered Deep Red and I can't help but wonder "where have you been all my life?" A mix of sweet and sour fruit notes with blackcurrant as the main star. Vanilla and sandalwood add a soft and smooth touch to the composition. It's a very sensual fragrance, reminds me of Magnetism by Escada but less sweet. I wish it lasted more on my skin, though.

Okay so i wore this some more, I must add I think this was reformulated because sillage and longevity SUCKS. Deep, sensual and seductive floral fragrance with hints of citrus and sweet ginger, unique and alluring. Not syrupy sweet but hints of seductive natural sweetness, more for mature audiences. Sophisticated perfume. Started loving it after a few wears.

It's definitely weaker than the OG. It's alot sweeter than I remember too. It's lost alot of its sexy smokey sultryness. It's not as musky. Which is what I used to love about it. I repurchased for nostalgia - but I can definitely tell the difference, I've finished the bottle now and I won't buy another. Shame it was quite a powerful scent back in the day.

Ah Deep Red, what a delightful trip down nostalgia road you are! I remember smelling this intoxicating potion when I was in my early 20’s and it made me feel like an absolute vixen when I wore it! It’s sensual & sexy and always gets a positive compliment. It’s addictive notes waft their way into your senses and remain with you forever. Absolute Love ❤️

Got it with a huge discount 75ml for 35 euros featuring the new bottle design. It's super durable on my skin, it leaves a trail of scent around. I feel like it's quite versatile, I can see it being worn either as a casual day perfume or for a night out, very sexy and alluring. I'm really happy with this purchase, 1000% worth it :D

I still have my bottle from 2005 and it smells exactly the same! Soft warm sexy cozy vanilla with some spices, it’s feminine and sweet but not overly sweet like alot or vanillas on the market . This is calming yet sexy at the same time! I Love it for fall and winter daytime and evenings . Spring and summer it’s not the one.

One of my absolute favourites of all time. I’ve owned 3 bottles of this and just received my 4th which Is a 2012 batch. It’s so easy to wear and currently stands out in the trenches of today’s gourmands. To me it’s the perfect balance of fresh , spicy and sensual. I love it. I adore it. I will wear this perfume forever.

Red seductress. Its not a typical scent that you smell everywhere nowadays. Its one that stands out. I get compliments when I wear this one. In the past and even now. Its sweet, juicy and sultry. The longevity could be better but hey...it isnt an expensive one so you could re-apply it without feeling bad about it.

This is so pretty. I thought it would be plain n boring and it's neither. The drydown is where it's at with this one. I tested an open bottle at TJ Maxx. It's a beautiful vanilla. It's very soft. But it's there. This would be a great perfume in the summer for me because it's not gonna offend anyone. 8/10.

guys this is not a cold-weather scent!! sprayed this on a cold day and could hardly smell it, weak longevity. Sprayed it on a hot spring day and everyone around me STAREDDDDD me down. Now that I know how this perfume works will definitely repurchase, unique, dark sexy fruity floral that isn't generic

My all time favourite from Hugo Boss. The name perfectly reflects the perfume - it is RED. Seductive, a bit unisex with nice undertones and quite long lasting power. I used to secretly borrow it from my mother in the 2000s and now my love lasts for this perfume for almost 20 years.

This EDP was a gift from my partner. Oh man, he knows me well. I can smell bloody oranges, wood, just a pinch of vanilla and spices. It's fresh but classy. It's warm but energizing. I have never tried something similar. I LOVE it. It's not a great choice for a blind buy.

bought it blind. came in the mail today. sprayed it on. LOVE IT! as per usual, Hugo boss does not disappoint. I mainly pick up vanilla and a little spice (ginger, musk, sandalwood) the dry down smells very "clean" vanillery. 20 bucks guys. totally worth it.

At first I was NOT impressed but once it was on my skin I really REALLY Love it! It doesn't feel that strong at all but I don't think it would be as good if it were too beast mode. Might be sickening. It's sweet and seggsy. Anyone can wear this fragrance

I just recieved this in the mail today and I love it,it reminds me of Hugo Boss Boss Orange except with florals I didn't get any of the other notes which is fine I still love it and will be buying a bigger bottle and it will stay in my collection.

This is a highly underrated fragrance. It's perfect for night time but could be worn in the day during cooler months. The magic really happens in the dry down with this one. Its a beautiful scent that you can nearly always find at a bargain price.

I used to have this perfume in my collection few years back. I loved it. This perfume is so sexy and sultry. The blackcurrant note on this prominent. It smells so divine, it sucks that it wasn't long lasting. BEAUTIFUL SCENT THOUGH
