Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette is the original 1998 Eau de Toilette of Hugo Boss’s Bottled line, credited by Parfumo to Annick Ménardo. It is a fruity, spicy-woody masculine built on crisp apple and citrus, a cinnamon-clove heart and a smooth vanilla, cedar and sandalwood base.
Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette at a glance

What does Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette smell like?
It opens with crisp apple, bergamot and lemon, with a touch of plum adding roundness to the fresh start.
The heart turns warmer, with cinnamon and clove spice, geranium and a woody mahogany accord.
The base is a smooth blend of vanilla, cedar, sandalwood, olive tree and vetiver: soft, woody and quietly sweet.
This is our reading of the composition as documented below, not a wear test: how it behaves on your skin is something only sampling will tell you.
Where these notes come from
The pyramid shown comes from Parfumo, a third-party database, which credits Annick Ménardo. We have not added notes that the database does not list.
Choosing the right version
Boss Bottled has many flankers, including Intense, Night, Tonic, an Eau de Parfum, a Parfum and Elixir. They are different compositions; this page covers only the original 1998 Eau de Toilette, and its scores were not taken from any flanker.
Performance and projection
The longevity and projection scores on this profile are Parfumo community ratings for this exact concentration, checked on 3 November 2026 — not a SCENTIVOIRE skin test. Parfumo publishes no versatility score, so we show none. Your skin, dose and climate will change the result.
Longevity
Parfumo members rate longevity 6.4/10 (3,607 ratings).
Projection
Parfumo members rate sillage 6.3/10 (3,510 ratings).
Versatility
Parfumo publishes no versatility score, so this profile shows none rather than an estimate. The season suggestions below are guidance, not a score.
Best seasons to wear it
- Spring: the apple and citrus opening feels fresh and clean.
- Summer: wearable in the evening, though the spices can feel warm in heat.
- Autumn: the cinnamon and woods are at their best.
- Winter: a reliable, comfortable choice for cold days.
These are editorial selection suggestions, not seasonal scores.
Who is it for?
Choose Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette if you want a safe, versatile and clean signature for work and everyday life. Avoid it if you want something unique, very loud or long-lasting, or if you dislike apple-cinnamon accords.

Retailer prices, availability and community ratings checked on 3 November 2026. Concentration, launch year, perfumer credit and the top–heart–base pyramid come from Parfumo, a third-party database. The description of the scent is our editorial reading of that documented composition. The performance scores are community data, not our own test: longevity and projection are Parfumo community ratings out of 10 (3,607 longevity and 3,510 sillage ratings); Parfumo publishes no versatility score, so none is shown. Listed notes describe the olfactory composition, not proof of natural ingredients in the formula.
